How to Remove People From Skype Chat
Skype is a free Internet voice, video and text chat program. You can add up to 100 of your Skype contacts to a group text chat as the creator of the chat. The creator can password-protect the chat, set a topic for the chat and allow new users to join the chat. If a user in the chat becomes disruptive, the creator can also remove users temporarily or remove and ban them so they can't rejoin.
