Hello,
I am interested in using Skype API for my custom application. One use case is user clicking on my application button and Skype calls a certain Skype user. I do not want the called party's skypeID be known to the user of my application. Similarly I want to hide the skype ID of the user (caller) from the called party. This is a simple application for customer support and I want to maintain transparency while hiding actual Skype user IDs from my customers and support staff.
Is is possible?

Thx

No, the nature of Skype is P2P - so an intermediary handling calls to hide CLID/ANI/Skype username .. is not possible.

Thanks for the response.
For a simple skype call is there any option by which I being a Skype caller hide my CLI? I do not want my skype userId be known (private caller feature)?

Thanks
Droop
No, there is no way to hide your skype ID from the person you are calling.
