Last week’s post<\/a> on running multiple Skype sessions on Windows was a big hit – clearly this is something that more people than just me want to be able to do! I had a query in on whether it was possible to do the same on a Mac, but couldn’t find a straightforward solution: I still haven’t found a particularly straightforward solution, but I have found a way to be logged into two<\/em> accounts simultaneously on a Mac, if that’s any help!<\/p>\n

So, it turns out that if you go to web.skype.com<\/a>, there’s a beta browser-based version of Skype, and in theory if you open a private browsing\/incognito window for each Skype account, you can log in multiple times! Tried and tested on Windows. <\/p>\n

On Mac, however, the web-based version of Skype hung when trying to open it in Safari (only officially supported browser) with private browsing on.<\/p>\n

Slightly kludgy partial solution, though, is that you can have one account open in the native Skype application on Mac, and log in to a second account in your browser. Verified on both Windows and Mac.<\/p>\n
