Handy Skype Keyboard Shortcuts, Smileys and Emoticons

Skype comes with few time saving keyboard shortcuts which are disable by default. So, rather than clicking the on-screen button to answer and hang up from Skype Calls, lets try hotkeys to use Skype more faster.

To use call related keyboard shortcuts, Go to Tools> Options > Advanced Hotkeys and select the option “Enable Keyboard Shortcuts”. Now, you can end a call by pressing Alt+PgUn, hang up by pressing Alt+PgDn and create customized hotkeys by clicking the ‘Change selected Shortcut” button for tasks such as Mute microphone and ignore call.

There are now hundreds of different emoticons and smileys being used in Skype. But, Some of them are hidden away from sight. You can have fun by uncovering even more Smileys and emoticons. Check out, Skype Smiley faces and Emoticons.
