Install Skype on the Samsung Chromebook

It is not (yet) possible to install Skype on a Chromebook. We'll show you how to chat with your Skype contacts anyway.

Use Skype on the Chromebook

It is still unclear whether the Skype app for the Google Chromebook will be available. However, you can now chat with your Skype contacts through alternative programs:

• Use "IM +". Log in with your Skype account to chat with your friends. However, a video or voice chat is not possible.
• The Hangouts app, developed by Google, is the one-to-one replacement for Skype. With it you can start (video) chats with your Google contacts.
• Trick: Log in to "Outlook" and open the message icon (see screenshot). Now start a new conversation with your Skype contacts after you have logged in.
