Once set in motion, a join link will appear to let others connect in. It allows anyone on the team to join the call whether they have a Skype account or not. It therefore enables a real-time communication as Slack members can also join as guests on a computer, or they can sign in using their Skype name or with a Microsoft account. The assimilation spans across varied platforms such as web, Windows, Mac, iOS or Android, where a Slack notification alerts you to a Skype call ensuring you don’t ever miss it. All one needs on the desktop is a web browser or a Skype mobile app to join in from a smartphone.

Skype has of late introduced a spate of new features such as free group voice calls and video calls, integration with Outlook.com, update for Windows 10 along with Skype 6.0 for Android, iPhone and iPad. This week and the past year have surely been big for Skype, and with Slack’s rapidly growing communication platform having 2 million daily active users, and 570,000 paid seats, the integration could be a great leap ahead.
