It works, which given the beta tag is pretty much all to be expected for now. I’m not a heavy Skype user so I can’t attest to the quality of calls and video versus the standard desktop app. It’s not instantly clear what this add-ons does but its permissions set implies it does more than let you click phone numbers online.
