It is quite possible to install two Skype on one computer, if you really understand it. But it should be borne in mind that the simultaneous launch of two accounts will not work.
Using video calling via Skype is very convenient, but sometimes you want to have two accounts on one computer. To do this, you need to figure out how to do this, and whether it is possible at all.
It is quite possible to do this when exiting the main menu, making an entrance under a different username and password. However, if there are two people in the family who have their contacts not only for communication, but also for work, then it is most convenient to have several accounts in the Skype program. In this case, another method should be used.
How to install two Skype at the same time
The first step is to create an additional shortcut to launch the second user. To do this, you need to open the location of the files on your computer. Go to "Local drive C", then you need to go to the Program Files folder, then to the Skype folder and select Phone. The last folder contains the Skype.exe application, it is on it that you need to right-click, after which you need to select "Send" to "Desktop" from the menu.
In order to make it easier to use the second Skype, you can rename it. Click on the shortcut with the right mouse button and select "Properties", then you need to change the name itself.
After starting the second account, as soon as the program window opens, you need to enter other credentials in Skype. In order to avoid confusion, it is best to enter the input not from a Microsoft account, but directly from Skype. To do this, create a new account by clicking on the registration link. After creating a second account, two accounts will be working, so you can safely use both at the same time.
How to run two Skype on one computer
When you start one account, authorization occurs instantly, and when you start the second Skype will ask for a password and login. If you make the first account start when you start the main program from the shortcut, then from the second one, as a rule, it will be more convenient to log in again.
You should also do the following: go to the properties of the shortcut for the second account located on the desktop. Open the "Label" tab in the "Object" field and enter the following: / username: name_2 / password: password_2, where 2 - username and password. When doing this, do not forget to put a space between these two keys. After that, you will be able to launch your first Skype first, and then your second one.
As it has already become clear, the procedure itself is not complicated, and even a beginner can figure it out. Most importantly, you need to be careful and put in a little effort. Thus, you can use one account for work and the other for communication.
