In Skype, how can I hang up from a group call that I started without ending the call for everyone else?

I often will start a group call (which makes me the "creator" of the call) but need to leave before others on the call wrap up. How can I hang up from my end while allowing the remaining users to continue on the call?

I have tried promoting other people on the call to the "master" role using the command /setrole [Skype Name] MASTER (detailed at What are chat commands and roles?), but when I hang up, it still ends the call for them.

Solution 1:

The bad news is you can't since your PC is routing the call.

As some sort of workaround i installed a Skype on a little Homeserver of mine so i can call myself prior to the conference call and then invite the other participants, that way the server is the actual host and i can leave anytime while the server still maintains the conference.

Solution 2:

The good news is that Skype now supports just this and it only (it's the original behavior that apparently is not supported anymore).
