<![CDATA[Add web.skype.com to sidebar]]>I know there is a way to add messengers that have web-based versions to side bar in Opera browser. I have Opera 82.0.4227.43, working in Win 10. To add skype to sidebar I right click on sidebar, choose Sidebar setup from menu, then select Custom site panels-> Add custom site panel, then in the Use site in panel window I add an address web.skype.com. then restart the Opera browser. I can see skype in the side panel, but it show Error on the top of the window, and not much additional information to analyze. I also enabled in settings (opera://flags/#sidebar-site-panel) Custom user sites for browser sidebar option:

What is the correct way to include Skype in Opera sidebar then?

I had added the skype sidebar a long time ago, it always just displayed "Error".

Misclicked on it today, to my surprise it's now working, not sure who I should thank.

Now I'm confused how Facebook Messenger

It's a default-provided one and is special. 🙂

Now I'm confused how Facebook Messenger works on the sidebar, it seems that Facebook Messenger uses similar redirect to facebook domain for login, and back 🙂 May be there is some more info available somewhere you can share?

Sorry.

I can confirm that it's not working. Just says "Error" for the title bar in the panel.

Yes same for me on Mac M1. Just says "Error"

Good idea! But when I open skype in browser, after MS login and authentication procedure, the string is just "https://web.skype.com" - no additional data here. So this doesn't help much.
