I would like to start Skype in the background in the startup. I installed Skype with Software included in Gnome 16.04.

I succeed to add it to the startup but I don't know how to avoid to have the windows opened. I just want to keep it running in the background.

Thanks for your help !

    So you want to start Skype minimised, or in the system tray (which?) with no visible window (and no splash screen presumably?)? Which version of Skype is it? Are you still running Gnome (which version). – pbhj Mar 01 '18 at 20:41
  • I want to have the little icon on the top bar so I don't what does that. Whatever the method if it works. My version is: GNOME Shell 3.18.5 – PierBJX Mar 01 '18 at 21:00

In order to start skype in background go to tools->settings and toggle on Launch Skype in the background (the default is off).

And if you want icons in the top bar you may install gnome extension TopIcons Plus which moves all tray icons (bottom left of Gnome Shell) to the top panel.
