A couple of weeks ago, Microsoft rolled out a ton of new features for Outlook.com – including heavy integration with Skype. While this update was only available to a small batch of preview users, the changes are now rolling out to everyone on the email client.

You can start a chat by clicking on the avatar bubble on the right side, and as you’d expect, your messages are synced across devices.
