Whether it’s video chat with family or using it to instant message with my development team in India, it has become a staple tool for communicating. I find Skype to be one of the most useful tools out there when it comes to connecting with people around the globe. If you have a suggestion that could help others, be sure to add a comment! I have already incorporated a few changes from readers into the post. As I see things change, I will continue to add updates to the post. Skype is always making changes to their chat tool and even adding different features for Skype for business chat. Be sure to read to the bottom of the post to see if those answer your questions. I recently added several updates to the bottom of the post that covers some additional questions and tips that I have received from readers. I sometimes tweak VB macros in Excel that someone else wrote.Note: Since writing this article, I have received a lot of great feedback and additional tips about different ways to save a Skype chat or print a Skype conversation. Maybe even just display the message dialog window, but without stealing focus.įWIW, my background: I'm an IBM midrange app developer, and I rarely do anything on the PC side.
So, I'm wondering if there's a way to monitor / capture the event that starts a new Skype message dialog and either keeps the taskbar tab flashing or throws up a dialog box that doesn't steal focus. I’ve looked, but there appears to be no setting or preference to change the amount of time the tab (?) continues to flash. I can’t count the number of times I’ve found a message hours after someone sent it. The net result is that, when I'm not at my desk, I won't notice that someone Skyped me unless I am specifically looking at my taskbar.
I'm using Skype For Business 2016 on WIndows 7 (and, soon, Windows 10) and whenever I get message notifications, the tab (?) on the taskbar for the incoming message dialog flashes for several seconds, then fades to normal.
