I simply quit Skype in those situations. This prevents Skype activities without disabling your contacts. &nbsp;Start Skype back up when done the presentation .

Thank you Sir! , but unfortunately &nbsp;I forgot to mention in my question that I can not do that because I need to be online all the time, due I have to attend a help desk line. I do know this is not a big issue, but I remember when I used Sametime Chat software, that this was possible.

Go to Skype, Options, Notifications and turn off what you do not want to see. My Skype usually stays in the system tray because most of my settings are off.

I am using &nbsp;Skype for business and &nbsp;many times I am presenting a project or having some video meeting and suddenly a contact person chat appears in my desktop , I don't want this happens,, It would be great that happens as &nbsp;Sametime chats, that just the Skype icon &quot;blinks&quot; announcing that a new message has been delivered or arrived. Is there a way to achieve this?

I am using  Skype for business and  many times I am presenting a project or having some video meeting and suddenly a contact person chat appears in my desktop , I don't want this happens,, It would be great that happens as  Sametime chats, that just the Skype icon "blinks" announcing that a new message has been delivered or arrived. Is there a way to achieve this?

How can I avoid emergency window contact appears and stays in my desktop for a while?

Instant messaging (IM) is a type of online chat that offers real-time text transmission over the Internet. A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over a local area network. More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat. Non-IM types of chat include multicast transmission, usually referred to as "chat rooms". Depending on the IM protocol, the technical architecture can be peer-to-peer (direct point-to-point transmission) or client-server (a central server retransmits messages from the sender to the communication device).
