Skype is beta testing an in-browser version of its service
S

Skype has a long history as both a desktop and mobile app, but now Microsoft is trying to diversify the service’s platforms by bringing it to browsers as well. Starting today, so long as you live in the United Kingdom or the United States, you can try out a new beta version of Skype for Web, which can be accessed from the service’s website. 

Hot on the heels of our recent post announcing improvements to Skype for Outlook , today we’re pleased to share more good news for people that use Skype on their browser – Skype for Web (Beta) is now available for all new and existing users in the US and UK. Now, anyone going to Skype.com (or web.skype.com) in the US and UK can sign in and connect to Skype for Web to get to their conversations in an instant without downloading the Skype app. Skype for Web is perfect if you normally use Skype on your mobile, but want to quickly get to your calls and IMs on a bigger screen. Or perhaps you’re sitting at a Windows or Mac computer in an internet café or hotel that doesn’t already have Skype downloaded. If you’re in the US or UK and are using a computer, take a moment to give Skype for Web a try. Just go to Skype.com and join or sign in with your Skype ID and password.
