How to unlink Facebook from Skype

New versions of Skype bring a lot of awesome features like connecting with Facebook friends, both chat and video call. This mean that you can chat or have video calls from Skype directly with your friends from Facebook, even if they are connected to Facebook through a web browser.

2. Select “App” from the left menu. Find Skype app in the list and click on “x”, from the right side of the Skype App.

3. A notification message will pop-up. Click on Remove.

Your Skype App will be removed from your Facebook account and your two profiles will be unlinked.
