How to use Skype chat commands from any device

You probably didn't know this, but besides sending emoji, you can also use commands on Skype to do a variety of tasks — here's everything you can do!

Skype is perhaps one of the most popular communication services on the planet. Not only can you chat with voice and video and text, send files and emoji, but you can also used command lines to manage various aspects of a chat session and query information.

Microsoft calls these Skype commands "cloud-based chat commands," they have been around for a long time, and they allow you to do an array of administrative tasks.

For example, let's say you forgot your laptop or phone at your friend's house, or you left Skype signed in on a public computer, then you can use the /remotelogout command to sign out of every instance on any device, and prevent anyone from sending inappropriate text from your account.

If you're not sure in which devices you're signed with Skype, you can quickly retrieve such information using the /showplaces command.
