How can I add skype adress in my europasscv?

Question

I am using this code to build my cv. I would like to add my skype adress with its symbol. How can I do ?

% !TEX encoding = UTF-8
% !TEX program = pdflatex
% !TEX spellcheck = en_GB
\documentclass[english,a4paper]{europasscv}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[backend=biber,autolang=hyphen,sorting=none,style=numeric,maxbibnames=99,doi=false,isbn=false,maxcitenames=2]{biblatex}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage{europasscv-bibliography}
\bibliography{europasscv_example}
% in the bibliography, mark all occurrences in bold:
\ecvbibhighlight{Smith}{Katie}{K.}
\ecvname{Name Surname}
\ecvaddress{Address}
\ecvmobile{numbers}
\ecvtelephone{numbers}
%\ecvworkphone{+353 999 888 777}
\ecvemail{e-mail}
%\ecvhomepage{www.myhomepage.com www.another-homepage.com}
\ecvgithubpage{GitHubPage}
% \ecvgitlabpage{www.gitlab.com/smith}
% \ecvlinkedinpage{www.linkedin.com/in/katie-smith}
% \ecvorcid[label, link]{0000-0000-0000-0000}
%\ecvim{AOL Messenger}{katie.smith}
%\ecvim{Google Talk}{ksmith}
% \ecvgender{Female}
\ecvdateofbirth{date}
\ecvnationality{Nationality}
% \ecvpicture[width=3.8cm]{picture.jpg}
% \date{}
\begin{document}
  \begin{europasscv}
\ecvpersonalinfo
  \ecvbigitem{Job applied for}{Job}
\end{europasscv}
\end{document}

This prints the following cv preamble:

I searched here, however what I can find is this code in the link that does not work for me How to add the Skype ICON in Europass CV?

Do you have suggestions about how to modify the code that I reported in order to add my skype adress ?

Thanks in advance.

this is my poor try:

First download this skype icon as pdf and rename it to skype_europass_icon.pdf and move it to your current tex project folder. then add the following before \begin{document}

\makeatletter
\newcommand*{\ecvskypepage}[1]{
\raisebox{-2\lineskip}{\includegraphics[width=0.4cm]{skype_europass_icon.pdf}}\hspace{0.2mm} {\fontseries{m}\selectfont \processlinks{#1}} \newline}
\makeatother

It is not perfect but using \ecvskypepage{your skype} after \begin{document} will print what you want but using this it is not aligned to other links.

UPDATE (CORRECT OUTPUT):

First download this skype icon as pdf and rename it to skype_europass_icon.pdf and move it to your current tex project folder. (NOTE: Do not use \href inside this new defined command)

It appears up to personal information but it is already something that is good. Thank you ! — HelpNeederStudent, Jul 29 '23 at 06:59
