Skype

The Skype icon represents the popular video conferencing and communication platform, Skype. Skype enables users to make voice and video calls, send messages, and share files online. Its significance lies in providing an easy and affordable way to stay connected with others.

Skype icons are commonly used on websites, applications, and platforms that integrate Skype functionality. For example, many businesses and organizations display the Skype icon on their contact pages to indicate that they can be reached via Skype.

From a UX perspective, the Skype icon communicates a sense of connection and accessibility, helping users understand that they can easily communicate with others using the platform. This can increase user engagement and satisfaction.

Skype is one of 2,125 icons in WebHostingHub Glyphs, made by WebHostingHub and released under Open Font License. It is drawn on a 1025 × 1024 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds SkypeIcon to components/icons/whh-skype.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed SkypeIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Skype icon, or any of 2,125 WebHostingHub Glyphs icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 1025 × 1024 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Skype", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. SkypeIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <SkypeIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. The Open Font License allows commercial use; the icons can't be sold on their own. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Open Font License only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming WebHostingHub Glyphs, WebHostingHub and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
