Skype is a communication program that allows you to add a number of contacts you can communicate with using instant texts and video chats. Skype displays contacts organized in groups in its interface. You may want to hide the contact groups or contacts if you want more chat space or don't want to view offline contacts. Fortunately, Skype allows you to hide contacts in seconds.
Step 1
Launch Skype and log on to your account using your Skype username and password. You should see your contact list organized in groups.
