7.2 Integrating Skype with Teaming

Novell Teaming enables you to integrate with Skype*, so that Teaming users can use Skype to contact other Teaming users directly from the Teaming interface.

Before users are able to make Skype phone calls from inside Teaming, you need to configure Teaming to support Skype. You do this by modifying the user profile form to include a Skype Name field.

  1. Log in to the Teaming site as the Teaming administrator.

  2. In the Folder or Workspace toolbar, click Manage > Site Administration.

  3. On the Site Administration page, click Form and View Designers.

    The Form and View Designers page is displayed.

  4. Expand Profile View, then click User.

  5. On the Form and View Designers User page, expand Profile Form Definition, then click Form.

  6. In the Form window on the right side of the page, click Add.

  7. In the Form window, in the Standard Form Elements section, click Skype Name.

  8. Click OK.

    Users are now able to specify a Skype name in their personal profiles.

For more information on how you can use Skype to contact other Teaming users from inside Teaming, see Using Skype From within Teaming in Connecting With Your Co-Workers in the Novell Teaming 2.1 User Guide.
