These issues always seem to come with a "I contacted MS and Skype support and they both said it is impossible" or something to that effect. If you're in a text-based chat with someone, you (annoyingly) can't yell words at Kinect to type out your message, however you can tap on your phone or tablet with SmartGlass instead, which is a darned sight less fiddly than entering letters with the controller.I've seen quite a few posts regarding Xbox One's Skype app and issues with signing in and out of different accounts on your gamertag/Xbox One. When you're in the Skype app itself you can choose to interact using either the controller, your own voice or SmartGlass. Like making calls from the Xbox One dashboard, bringing up the Skype app is possible at any time with a simple "Xbox, go to Skype." "It's something we've heard feedback on and it's something we'll be looking at," Roshak told us when we asked about the omission of this feature. This means that right now the only way to have a Skype call while gaming is with it happening in the background as audio only. That said, Microsoft told us that you won't be able to have a Skype video call running alongside a game in snap mode from day one, which is disappointing to hear. This also work to PSTN phones as you'd expect. To contact someone over Skype you just need to say "Xbox, call ", although they'll have to be added to your Favorites list (limited to a maximum of 10 people right now) for you to do so.
"The ability to sort of make it much more personal and much more intimate, and create that place-to-place experience, that's why I wake up every day." "Communications is a fundamental human thing," says Roshak.
It certainly gives the Xbox experience much more open and sociable feel. Handily, Skype can be addressed from anywhere on the Xbox One, so you can tell it to make or answer a call no matter what you're doing.
