Skype's Voice over IP (VoIP) service is available on the iPad using the official Skype iOS application. By default, the Skype app uses the iPad's built-in microphone and speaker for audio, but external headsets can also be connected that take precedence over the built-in audio hardware. Pairing the iPad with a Bluetooth headset prior to launching the Skype application will prompt the app to route its audio through your bluetooth speakers.
Tap the "Settings" button on your iPad's "Home" screen, followed by the "General" button.
Tap the "Bluetooth" button, then slide the "Bluetooth" switch to "On." The iPad automatically begins scanning for nearby Bluetooth devices.
Put your bluetooth speakers into their discoverable mode. When in discoverable mode, other Bluetooth devices -- such as your iPad -- can detect and connect to the speakers. Consult the instruction manual for your model of bluetooth speakers for details on how to enter discoverable mode.
Tap the entry for the bluetooth speakers in the "Devices" section of the iPad's "Bluetooth" screen.
Enter the four-digit passcode on the iPad if requested. Consult the bluetooth speakers' instruction manual for any factory default passcode required to connect them to Bluetooth devices. Not all bluetooth speakers will require a passcode to pair with another Bluetooth device; some may connect to the iPad automatically.
Press the "Home" button on the iPad to return to the "Home" screen.
Tap the "Skype" button to launch the Skype application. As long as the bluetooth speakers remain active and Bluetooth is switched on, Skype will automatically route the audio through your speakers.
