## Minimal Path to Awesome
### Authentication
Because the Skype API's are secured, you first need to register an Azure Active Directory application.
Select under `delegated permissions` both `Read/Write Skype user contacts and groups`, `Read/Write Skype user information (preview)`, `Receive conversation invites (preview)` (the receive conversation permission is required to get access to the mePerson object and have access to the current user's presence information) then click `select`. Finish by clicking `Done`.
Don't forget to click on `Grant permissions` and `yes`.
### Updating the app
After copying that sample to your local machine and running `npm install` to install the depenencies, `/src/webparts/skypePresence/services/Constants.ts` open your favorite editor. Make sure you replace the value of `ApplicationIdKey` to the value application id we kept earlier.
### Deploying the application
Start by running `gulp package-solution` and deploy the application to the app catalog. More information on how to do it [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/web-parts/get-started/serve-your-web-part-in-a-sharepoint-page)
**At the end select SkypePresence webpart instead**
Don't forget to run `gulp serve --nobrowser` to start the debugging server.
### Addtional page required
Because Skype needs to silently redirect the user to a page for the authentication flow, you need to create an additional page called `skypepresence` in your site.
