#INSTALL SKYPE PLUGIN FOR PIDGIN HOW TO#
We previously covered how to use Purple Hangouts with Google’s Hangouts IM protocol via Pidgin and today we are featuring a similar third party libpurple plugin that gives you access to Skype via a skype4pidgin plugin. The application features support for the most common protocols officially however, you can maximize the use of Pidgin with its extensive list of unofficial plugins that will enable you to enjoy more functionality with the instant messenger. Pidgin is a popular cross-platform IM that enables you to connect to multiple instant messaging services simultaneously without any obstruction. It sounds like there’s still only limited support for voice/video through the website with ORTC (a slightly different standard), but things sound like they’re moving along, and hopefully by the time I’m done with voice/video in Hangouts, the website should be a bit more stable.” That work within the Hangouts plugin is still in-progress though.
To achieve this goal, I started writing the Hangouts plugin in December of 2015 – with the idea that their usage of WebRTC was a bit more stable than Skype’s – and then port that code over to the Skype plugin.

Me: “(excluded formalities)…….I’m currently writing a short review on your Skype4pidgin plugin and I’d like to know if there’s any other thing of importance that you’d like me to include like do you have plans to support voice and video calls later in the future.
