Microsoft has been on a mission to make Skype ubiquitous. This has led to the communications platform being integrated into various other services in the company’s portfolio including web-based services such as Outlook.com and OneDrive.com. However, it had one quite prominent feature missing from those services, the ability to disable notifications. Regular users of the service have taken issue with the lack of such a feature, with some calling it embarrassing.
Thankfully, this situation has now changed after Microsoft released an update to its online services. Now, when you open Outlook.com, for instance, the Skype client includes the option to disable notification sounds.
To disable notification sounds:
- Open Outlook.com (or OneDrive.com)
- Click on Skype at the top (the speech bubble icon)
- Click the settings icon at the bottom right corner
- Under the Notifications pane, turn the ‘Sound’ toggle off

Furthermore, the change should be reflected in other services so if you disable notification sounds in Outlook.com, you should see your settings reflected in OneDrive.com as well.
