Login to your page
You can log into “My Account” on Skype completely free of charge; you need to remember this so as not to fall for scammers.
Online version
How to log into Skype on your page? Let's start with the online version of the application.
- To start using the program and logging into it, it is not at all necessary to download it from the Internet. Just go to https://web.skype.com
- In the special window, enter your username and then your password.
- After authorization, click “Get Started”
- If you have already used Skype, you will see a very familiar interface. All your contacts will be reflected here, so you can start communicating easily
- In fact, logging into your Skype account from a laptop or computer this way is very convenient. You are not tied to a specific device and can stay in touch at home, visiting or at work by opening your page.
If you want to know how to register for Skype right now, follow the link provided.
If logging into your Skype page in this way for some reason seems inconvenient to you, we suggest downloading and installing the desktop version of the application on your device - a program designed for the desktop.
Skype web
The disadvantage of many means of communication via a computer is that they require installation of a special program and access to it, this also applies to Skype. This is especially inconvenient for those who often need to contact someone via video from their workplace, but this is not possible. And not all users will want to load their computer with additional programs, especially if they rarely use Skype. Shouldn't you refuse to install the software version for the sake of one call?
But now there is no such problem anymore. A recent development - Skype web version - will delight users in that it only requires access to the Internet and at the same time has the same functions as a full-fledged program installed on a computer. With web Skype you can:
- Call;
- Participate in conferences;
- Manage your calls;
- Participate in chats;
- Manage past correspondence, chats and much more.
The only requirement for using Skype online is to install a special plugin (utility) that will allow you to make video calls. All other functions present in previous versions of Skype (chat rooms, conferences, message management) will be available without it.
How to use Skype online?
Before you start working with the program, go to its official Skype website https://www.skype.com/ru/ and use the “Login” link. In the dialog box that appears, use the “Use Skype in Browser” link. Then go to your account (account) or create one if you are using the program for the first time.
Please note that Skype Web version is not available in full version for Windows XP (voice calls cannot be made), but is compatible with all types of browsers.
After logging into your account, you will see the classic Skype working window, but in a more simplified version. However, this is for user convenience only and has no impact on functionality. A pop-up window will appear asking you to install a plugin to make calls online. If you do not need this function or do not plan to use it in the near future, you can close the window. If you need the plugin, then simply follow the steps that appear, and at the end close the browser to activate the program.
We recommend Error 1601 when installing Skype
That's all! Now you can use Skype Web from anywhere there is internet, without having to install the program on your computer or tablet.

Stable version of Skype
First of all, it should be noted that if you have Windows 8 or 10 installed, then the messenger will already be installed on your system from the very beginning. All you have to do is update it. If you decide to buy Windows 7, then you need to install it yourself. You can download the latest version from the official website of the program.
As of May 2020, the stable version of Skype for Win 7 is 8.22.0.2. You can install it. As a rule, only verified versions of the program that have passed all the necessary tests are downloaded from the site. Therefore, the likelihood of errors or failures in the program is minimal.
If you already have Skype installed, but not the latest version, then just launch the program, and it will immediately prompt you to update (if you have not disabled this option in the settings). After confirming the operation, the computer will download the best version at the moment.
Through a Microsoft account
If you have recently registered on Skype, then you already have a Microsoft account - it is under this account that you log in to the system (more on this in our other article).
- Enter your Skype login, email or phone number
- Then - password
- Now click the “Login” button
As you can see, the process is familiar to you.
If you still don’t have an account, you can create an account as described in the instructions just above. If you already have a Skype account, you can combine it with your Microsoft account and log in to your page:
- Go to https://account.microsoft.com/
- Enter your Skype username and password to enter the page
- If the records are not merged automatically, you will receive a notification that you need to do so
- Click "Next"
- The system will prompt you to add an email address
- Do this and click “Next” again
- All that remains is to confirm your e-mail, your Skype account will also become a Microsoft account, this will be your page
Can't login to the page
If you can’t log in or log in as usual, there may be a variety of reasons for this. For example:
- Poor internet connection
- The device itself slows down (for example, many browser tabs are open at the same time)
- Problems in the application itself (overloaded servers, etc.)
- The program is installed incorrectly
- Messenger requires updating to the latest version
- The computer or laptop has been attacked by a virus and login is impossible
And that's not it. For more information about the reasons, as well as ways to solve them, read our article I can’t log into Skype.
