Q:

How to log out from skype app?

I have installed the Skype-App for Windows 8 and a friend logged in first with his account.
Now I want to log him out to log in myself with my account but there is no Logout option.
I tried to uninstall and then re-install the app but then my friend is still logged in with his account.
How can I log out from the Skype-App for Windows 8?

A:

The Skype account has been linked with your Microsoft Account. At the time, there is no way to remove this link.
Found this on Skype forum:
Unlinking Microsoft Account

Please contact Skype customer service as they can help you unmerging
  Microsoft accounts that were merged with a Skype account incorrectly.

A:

The page Why is Skype for Windows 8 always on? explains that you can't, because this way, Skype can be used as a phone.

The best way to answer those questions is with a metaphor. Imagine you had a mobile phone but every time someone wanted to call or text message you they had to find a way to tell you to turn on your phone. It wouldn’t be very useful, if they had a way to tell you to turn your phone on, they wouldn’t need to call you.

A:

While using Skype press Win+C (charms bar) then click Settings and in app Options you will be able to logout.
