The new version can display the online status of the corresponding contact through its contact card from within Outlook. Both mood messages and contact data are included in this card.

The call will be initiated directly from Skype even if the selected contact is not a Skype friend. The only thing needed is to add the contact's phone number to Outlook's contacts and have either Skype subscription or credit.

Skype 6.1 for Windows supports instant messaging apart from the call facility. It is possible to send instant messages to any contact with this version.

There is also facility for initiating video call from within Outlook rather than sticking to only audio call. In this case, the selected contact must use Skype. Also, this feature is supported on Outlook 2010 or later versions.
