# Setting up MX Puppet Skype (optional)
2022-06-13 13:02:31 +08:00
**Note**: bridging to [Skype ](https://www.skype.com/ ) can also happen via the [go-skype-bridge ](configuring-playbook-bridge-go-skype-bridge.md ) bridge supported by the playbook. In fact, bridging via `mx-puppet-skype` has often been reported as broken, so we recommend that you go directly for `go-skype-bridge` , instead of this.

The playbook can install and configure
[mx-puppet-skype ](https://github.com/Sorunome/mx-puppet-skype ) for you.

See the project page to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.

To enable the [Skype ](https://www.skype.com/ ) bridge just use the following
playbook configuration:
```yaml
matrix_mx_puppet_skype_enabled: true
```
## Usage
Once the bot is enabled you need to start a chat with `Skype Puppet Bridge` with
the handle `@_skypepuppet_bot:YOUR_DOMAIN` (where `YOUR_DOMAIN` is your base
domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
Send `link <username> <password>` to the bridge bot to link your skype account.
Once logged in, send `list` to the bot user to list the available rooms.
Clicking rooms in the list will result in you receiving an invitation to the
bridged room.
Also send `help` to the bot to see the commands available.
