You know that Outlook.com is mostly an email service post officeυ, που υποστηρίζει και συνομιλίες. Μπορείτε να κάνετε click στο εικονίδιο συνομιλίας που υπάρχει στην ιστοσελίδα to display available contacts and options to start one call video ή ήχου.
If you check the web site at this time, you should see the options to connect with friends on Facebook friends and your contacts on Google services as the site still allows contact with those contacts.
Η Microsoft όμως ανακοίνωσε πρόσφατα σε ένα μήνυμα ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου ότι θα διακόψει την υποστήριξη για το Facebook chat και το Google Chat μέσω της υπηρεσίας της Outlook.com.
E-mail appears to have been sent only to Outlook.com users using either Facebook Chat or Google Chat via Outlook.com. The reason for removing Google Chat is to withdraw Google Talk from Google trying to establish the Hangouts service.
Hangouts, unlike Google Talk, does not use XMPP, and Microsoft points out that this change will affect conversations but not Google or Facebook contacts that have been added to Outlook.com or another Microsoft account .
The company recommends using Skype on Outlook.com, saying it "provides a better user experience for video and audio calls," according to ZDNet.
The change should be seen from the next few weeks to be applied to all users of Outlook.com.
Microsoft's decision probably wants to affect some Outlook.com users, to switch to its own service to chat with their selected contacts.
