Typically, that includes the People app, the Mail app, and Skype. This displays a tiled set of apps with which this contact is linked. The most interesting view, however, is when you click on what looks like a back-arrow at the top of the window.
Clicking on the email address launches your default email program with a new message to this contact opened.Clicking on the phone currently seems to do nothing.The items in that information window are somewhat useful. Now, whenever you click on that icon in the taskbar, this contact information window will pop up. The contact will be added as an icon on your taskbar.You’ll be shown information about the contact.1Ĭlick on the People icon in your taskbar and you’ll be shown a list of suggested contacts you might be interested in pinning to the taskbar.Ĭlick on one of those contacts and two things will happen: Contacts you have in other accounts or other programs are not included. Right now, that appears to include the contacts in your Microsoft account - typically those that appear in the Windows 10 Mail application (when configured for your Microsoft account) and Skype. Note that this only applies to contacts in supported apps. As we’ll see below, it makes contacting them somewhat easier. Presumably, you’d do this for a contact with whom you interact frequently. The idea is this: you can pin an icon for a contact to your taskbar. I hope to see more developers take this route.ĭo you use the People Bar? Will you try it out now that you know there are ways to make it useful? Let us know in the comments below.Become a Patron of Ask Leo! and go ad-free! The concept I also love to see developers like Ryken Studio, the makers of myTube!, use the People Bar in a clever way. You can also use it to keep your copied text organized or stay in touch using a number of services. Thanks to the People Bar, I rarely open the full version of Unigram. It's sad that the People Bar is used by less than a dozen developers, but many of the apps that take advantage of the feature make it worth using. See in Microsoft Store Wrapping things up In fact, I doubt that's what the people at Microsoft had in mind when they created the People Bar, but it just works. The developers of myTube! didn't need to put videos into the taskbar. It's ingenuity like this that I wish more developers would emulate. You can then watch the video directly in the People Bar or continue viewing it in the myTube! app. You can pin any channel you subscribe to the taskbar and then click on their icon to see their feed of videos. The taskbar might seem like an odd place to place a YouTube client, but myTube! does it exceptionally well.
