Hello excel_googler,

In 2013 Microsoft ended it desktop API for Skype. Now there is far less functionality using the Skype URI API. I have been browsing through what is now available but I have not seen anything relating to an individual's status or status of others.

NOTE: I did find this link about using Outlook Use Skype with Outlook to display a contact's presence information
