Important: Starting in May 2025, Skype will no longer be available. By logging in to Microsoft Teams Free with your Skype account, your chats and contacts will appear in the app so you can pick up where you left off. This capability will gradually roll out to Skype and Teams users on the latest app versions over the coming days. Alternatively, you can export your Skype data. Learn more about Skype retirement
If you are receiving unwanted calls in Skype, you can change your call settings to only allow calls from your contacts to ring on your device:
-
Select your profile picture .
-
Select Settings .

Select Calling .
-
Toggle Only allow calls from contacts to ring on this device to On . If someone who isn't in your contact list calls you, Skype will show a missed call from them.
Changing this setting does not apply to incoming voice messages or calls to your Skype Number. Anyone can still leave you a voice message. However, with your Skype Number you can set the option to Allow Skype to block unwanted calls .
