I'm the only one using Hololens while skyping with other users w/o Hololens.
Is there any way to show my holograms to other Skype users?

Yes, that will be automatic. They can see your "holograms," which will be your drawings/arrows, or pictures, etc. They cannot see Holograms from other apps. Once you are in Skype, you won't be able to view your other apps. When you call them from the HoloLens, they will be prompted to download a Skype add-in. Once they download it, they will then also be able to draw/put arrows/show photos to you. However, I have had problems with the add-in on my laptop. The HoloLens Skype does not seem to be compatible with the add-in and certain display drivers.
