Skype calling now available on Amazon Alexa devices

Skype is proud to announce the availability of Skype calling on Amazon Alexa devices to new countries, beginning today. Skype with Alexa is now available in France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, and Spain. We also added support for French in Canada. These countries are in addition to the availability of Skype calling in the U.S., U.K., Ireland, Canada, India, Australia, and New Zealand that we launched last November.
At Skype, our mission has always been to bring people together—to make it easier for friends and families to be there for one another—wherever they may be. With that in mind, we’re investing in new ways for you to connect in the most human way possibleby simply using your voice.
Beginning today, Skype calling is available on Amazon Alexa devices—just in time for the holidays. With Skype on your Alexa-enabled device, you can connect hands-free with family and friends around the world just by saying, “Alexa, call Mom on Skype.” In addition to Skype audio and video calling, we’re providing the ability for Alexa customers to call most landlines and mobile numbers internationally using Skype to Phone. To celebrate the availability of Skype calling with Alexa, Skype is offering 200 free minutes of Skype to Phone calling to 34 countries (terms apply).
With Skype and Alexa, you can now connect with your friends and family around the world completely hands-free. Use Alexa-enabled devices like the Echo Dot to make hands-free Skype voice calls wherever Alexa and Skype are available, or place high-fidelity Skype video calls from the Echo Show and Echo Spot directly to Skype on computers and mobile devices.
To get started, simply link Skype with your Alexa account by following the instructions below.
Image with instructions on how to set up Skype on your Alexa device: 1. Set up your Alexa device using the Amazon Alexa App. 2. Go to Settings > Communication > Skype to link your account. 3. Sign in using the same Microsoft account you use on Skype.
After doing this once, you can start using your voice any time you need to make a call. Detailed instructions can be found on our feature page.
Skype calling on Alexa is available now in the U.S., U.K., Ireland, Canada, India, Australia, and New Zealand with support for other countries rolling out soon. And for the best Skype calling and video experience, update to Skype version 8.34 or later.
At Skype, we always appreciate your feedback, visit the Skype.com feature page for more details on compatible devices, how to link your Alexa account, and what new capabilities are supported. Please continue to follow our blog posts for more news and announcements.
