This will cause a small window to appear where you can talk to that contact. To do this, simply click the icon of the person you’d like to talk to. Now that you’ve got contacts pinned to your taskbar, you can use My People to chat with them at any time. If you try to pin any more, they’ll appear within the My People window instead. You can pin up to three contacts on the bar this way. When you click on a name, you’ll notice that the person will now appear in the taskbar. If Windows missed someone you’d like to add, click “Find and pin contacts” for a more in-depth list.
You can do this by going to the “People” tab and clicking on the contacts that Windows has picked out for you. Once this is done, you can pin your favorite contacts to the taskbar for easy access. Windows will dig through your contacts for people to add. (And yes, Skype is a part of Microsoft!)Ĭhoose which service you’d like to import someone from.
This is because My People works off of Microsoft contacts, so it can only import contacts and use services that Microsoft controls. You’ll notice that options for big social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, are missing. You’ll find three options you can import contacts from: People, Skype, and Mail.
