skypexbox-one
I log into my Xbox One and it automatically logs me into my skype account with the same email address as my profile, e.g. myBoxName@hotmail.com.
However I'd like to use this Skype account on my PC, and use a different Skype account to associate with my profile on the Xbox One.
Is there any way to do this?
I haven't tried it but I have both a 360 and an Xbox One pad.
They show up as two different controllers, so I don't see why it shouldn't work.
Here is what it looks like under Windows 7.
After speaking to an MS support rep, the issue is that I hadn't designated the new XBox One as my "home" xbox. You need to go into the Settings, then set as home the console you want to share with the family.
After that, any user using my "home" XBox (whether my family or not) can use all my DLC and Gold games.

There is no way to sign out of Skype, hence, there is no way to sign in with a different account. See this MS Support page for the source information.
What you can do is set Skype on your main account to be silent, set it to being invisible and disable notifications. Then sign in on your one using the profile you have associated your main Skype activity with. As it is an MS account, you can use it without any problem. Now, if you assign the second profile to your family on the One, it can benefit from your Gold subscription and you will be able to use Skype without much trouble.
