Full Version: Ringing device
Skype Community > English > Linux

Hello,

Is there any idea when Skype for Linux will be able to use a different device for ringing and doing the call? It's obviously really difficult to use a headset until this happens, because I miss calls unless I'm at my PC!

Thanks for the info,

Andrew

You'd have to write a script that uses the Skype API to do this. Look at http://share.skype.com/developer_zone/docu...n/documentation for details.

Basically, your script has to use DBus to connect to Skype (see example Python script), read when a call is incoming, and launch a command to ring to another device.
