Skype by default makes your profile searchable by your contacts and others. This can be changed by opting out of it.

Here is how:

Through the Skype app:

If using the Skype app in Windows 10, launch it, and click on the dots icon.

It will show the Profile settings page just like through the Skype app. You can then turn off the Discoverability feature just like before.

Your profile won’t be included in the Skype search anymore to the public but you can still be contacted when searched for by your email address, Skype username, and phone number.

Happy Skypeing.
