Mute a skype chat

If you want to stop getting notified about new messages in a Skype chat (but not leave it altogether), you can type

/alertsoff

into the chat. This will only affect this one chat.

To only be notified when certain keywords appear in the conversation, use

/alertson KEYWORD

Note that multiple keywords must be defined with one call, as each call will overwrite previous keywords. Separate them by spaces:

/alertson KEYWORD1 KEYWORD2

Keywords are case-insensitive.

To revert to standard behaviour, use simply

/alertson
