In this article we will take a look at a way to display the current song, you are listening to, as your Skype mood. The mood will automatically change when the next track begins. To achieve this we will use the free Skype plugin – ON AIR.
- Download ON AIR (For the latest version you can go here: http://www.djmaster.com/onair/)
- Install the program by double clicking the file and following the steps
- Open the program, by using the shortcut in the Start Menu (or go to the folder where you installed it and open ONAIR.exe)
In the system tray (bottom right near the Windows time) a new icon will appear. Open Skype, sign in with your name and password and also open a song for example in WinAmp (or another supported player).- Skype will show a one time message, asking your permission to allow access of ON AIR to connect to Skype – click Allow Access.
Now everything should work. When the song changes, your Skype mood changes too. Also a message appears above the icon in the system tray. If you do not want this to appear just right click on the icon in the system tray, then Preferences and uncheck Show Balloon.
If you want your mood to be simple the title and singer of the song without the promotion of the site of this plugin and without there motto, then right click on the same icon and after that Restore. A window with HTML code appears. There delete everything without <SS type=”music”>(music)</SS>. Close the window.
Now everyone (well, your Skype contacts at least) can see which song you are playing in the moment and eventually they could try it for themselves :P.
