Download Skype Chat History through imo

imo is unable to support Skype due to our inability to connect to their servers, and unfortunately we don’t know if we’ll be able to support Skype anytime soon as it depends on factors out of our control.

However, we’ve added a function so that users can now download their Skype chat history through imo if they had their Skype account linked to another account through imo as of May 2, 2013 at 7 p.m. PST. The option to export Skype history will be available until June 14, 2013.

To download your Skype chat history:

1) Refresh your browser
2) Click the settings gear in the top right of imo on the web
3) Choose “Preferences”
4) Choose “Export Chat History”
5) Select your Skype account
6) Click “Export Chat History”



Then, unzip the file that downloads.

Thank you again for your patience! Please email any questions to feedback@imo.im.
