Bring back the Skype integration
The Skype ias apparently gone from Outlook.com beta, as the Skype button near the Settings cog icon is nowhere to be found. I think many users didn't like the integration (there was no way to completely disable it) but it still was a nice feature for Skype users.

Update January 2018:
Skype is back! :)
More improvements to the Skype integration will come in the future, but for now, please enjoy the upgraded Skype chat experience!
P.S.: If you wish to mute notifications, you can do so in the Settings panel under General > Skype > Notifications.

does it take that long for you guys to work on the Skype integration for the beta version? Until you fix it I will stick to the old outlook.com.

If it needs to be there, please give the option to turn it off. I now have two skype accounts and I don't use the hotmail one, I use my original skype one. Its ridiculous to force people to have a skype account because they use hotmail.

Just went on the new beta trial. I was offered a beta trial months ago and promptly went back to the old outlook when I noticed Skype was gone. I use the Skype feature all the time!! It's good, as I am sure I am not the only one who finds it handy due to having Skype Business at work. I was concerned when we got Skype business at work that I may easily get the 2 confused, but since I have used my personal Skype through Outlook there's no chance of that. As I said in feedback before, I am not happy that Skype seems destined to be removed. Back to old Outlook for me for now. I just hope Outlook will consider changing their minds on this.

Wow! It looks like I'm not the only one who would like to see Skype integrated into Outlook beta. Let's give Ms. Ayers and her team some time to cater to our wishes. While we are waiting, I found a workaround that works for me. Maybe it will work for you too, if you are using Outlook Web App. Click on the apps launcher icon in the upper left corner of Outlook Mail and then open Outlook Calendar. The icon you used to see near the top right side for Skype in Outlook Mail is still there in Outlook Calendar.
