Sending Messages to Yourself on Skype

Posted at — 2018-Jan-31

I always like a simple feature in Slack that you can chat with yourself to store notes, links, files or your own reminders. Despite that fact that I use it most of the time, this feature doesn’t exist in Skype, and I really hate it.

Turns out there is a simple trick to do it that I happened to discover yesterday:

On Skype, create a new group chat with only you in there.

Done! Name the group my notes or something. Pin it so that you can easily access to it. One more thing: enable the Share Link then save the link. In case you happen to accidentally leave the group, you can re-join it again.

Now that Skype can have the chat-to-yo-self feature like Slack does.
