Tried this today July 2024(Vista) and this method no longer seems to work. The link points correctly to Chrome which opens and I can log into my Skype account but then it gets stuck on a page with the Skype logo and a whirly wheel, Skype web does not load at all. Has anyone had any luck with this recently. (also tried a different pc with XP and got the same result
Thanks

MY NAME IS NAJDA SARADZIC DURIC AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU A QUESTION...

I can't find the way to use multiple accounts on Mac. Could you let me know the code?
Also it worked when I typed in this code below.
#!/bin/bash
open -na /Applications/Skype.app --args --secondary --datapath="/Users/$(whoami)/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Skype for Desktop/Profile1"
But how can I apply it automatically so that I don't have to open a terminal and type the code every time.
Thanks!

Fortunately, there are some new retro browsers that can help. All of them are coming from China, and I do not have any security guarantees. So, use them at your own risk. A lot of people and companies in China are still having Windows XP as their main OS. And since this pandemic forced so much of our lives online, the demand for a modern browser working on Windows XP skyrocketted in China. So numerous Chinese IT companies tried (and succeeded) making such a browser:
360 Extreme Explorer:
-version 11.0.2251.0 (with Chromium 69 engine)
https://browser.360.cn/ee/en.html
-version 12.0.1053.0 (with Chromium 78 engine)
-version 13.0.2250.0 (with Chromium 86 engine)

http://retrosystemsrevival.blogspot.com/2019/05/360-extreme-chrome-browser.html
DC Browser 5.0.4.26 (with Chromium 86)
https://dcbrowser.cqttech.com/home
Mini Chrome 87.0.4280.66 (with Chromium 87)
https://www.reddit.com/r/windowsxp/comments/mifzzc/chromium_87_is_now_available_on_windows_xp/
Mini Browser 1.0.0.126 (with Chromium 87)
https://browser.kfsafe.cn/
Use "Translate to English" context menu option in Google Chrome to navigate those websites that are in Chinese.
WARNING: The official installers are in Chinese language! But if you "survive" through the installation process, the browser menus are in English, so it can be used normally. But the uninstallers are also in Chinese. So it might happen you succeed installing some browser, and then cannot uninstall it. That is why I recommend portable versions. All those unnoficial links above offer portable versions, that only need to be unzipped.
Among the above mentioned browsers, only 360 EE 11.0.2251.0 works on Windows 2000 (with KernelEx). So I tested only that one more thoroughly. Instead of the official installer I linked above, I used a modified Russian version:
https://lrepacks.net/repaki-programm-dlya-interneta/182-360-extreme-explorer-amp-portable.html
It removes telemetry, so that your browser won't chit-chat with Chinese servers all the time. And it has the portable installer option which is in English. The only thing that needs to be done manually is to edit the file 360Chrome\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences using Notepad. Change the key/value pair "accept_languages": "ru-RU,ru,en-US,en" with this one:
"accept_languages": "en-US,en,ru-RU,ru",
in order to have websites like Google or YouTube in English rather than in Russian. I like to use a switch --disable-infobars whenever working with older browsers. But this time, the switch --no-sandbox is not needed (in contrast to Google Chrome 49.0 in Windows 2000). So the shortcut target for Skype for Web could look something like this:
C:\Program Files\360Chrome\Chrome\Application\360chrome.exe --disable-infobars https://web.skype.com/
The browser is not 100% stable, sometimes it freezes/crashes (luckily, that usually happens during the first 10 seconds upon starting). But in Windows 2000 that is today the only option as far as I know to use Skype (as well as other modern web apps). The reason is probably that the browser targeted and was tested on Windows XP. And Windows 2000 with KernelEx is not XP. It should be more stable on Windows XP. Anyways, good luck!

Hi All how are you I fine thank you
je vous remercie e bonsoire
I see some cost there 0.185/min + $0.089connection... and for mobile $0482/min + $0.089connection
This is just 4 columns for all the information... So for 200 different countries this would be 400 lines...
Where is the list?
For which year is that price? Is this page static and produced 2007?
I want a downloadable list for all destinations in tabular form (maybe even excel?) in pdf. I also want such a list dated.
I understand that You are not associated with Skype (at all) and that any information is not official but Skypes (Microsofts) behaviour of !hiding! the costs is irritating.
"For your security, you've been signed out. Sign back in to continue using skype".
Since, after trying many times, I can not sign back in (as I am asked to do), could you please inform me how to do this in order to overcome the problem and make my Skype operating again? I thank yoy in advance.
Sincerely yous

I use windows, and my laptop is an ASUS N56VZ some 12 years old, but still working reasonably well.
I just need a version of Skype, which will give me video options, so I can see her.
I expect yo be calling her only 2 or 3 times a month. And she may also call me.
She lives in Copenhagen, home for elderly people.
If you need other info, please reply to the above. Thank you

I use Windows XP and when i enter my skype name and password it say can't connect
Skype is my preferred software for conferences and simple phone calls.
I would love to know how call rates are determined, why do they differ between countries?. For countries like the US the subscription fee per month is as low as $2 while for Tanzania is $12.49?
1) May I know the Skype Phone Call rate per minute table showing rate/min of various countries.
Is the rate shown under each of the countries refers to the rate charged in the calling country or the target country one wants to call to irrespective where you use Skype to make the call?
2) I couldn't find the step to buy a one-off credit instead of the subscription basis. The steps I use:
i. Open my Skype App.
ii. Top LH corner , click the small yellow "s" symbol just beside the "Call phone numbers at affordable rates"
iii. Then the next screen shown as follows:
YOUR SKYPE CREDIT
Call and SMS anywhere at affordable rates
( a circular moment for processing....but it never stops and seems hang.)
Where can't I see my balance?
SUBSCRIPTIONS Search
Add Subscription
So, I just couldn't see My Profile when open up my Skype account. Why?. Btw, I just opened this Skype account 20 min. or so ago.
Please advise. Yes I did open an old Skype account a year ago but it remains unused....Yes, there is now only ONE Skype Icon in my Mobile. How can I ascertain which Skype account am I using?
2. CAN I PAY IN HONG KONG DOLLAR
3. IS CONNECTION FEE NECESSARY OR ONLY VALID WHEN ASSISTED BY OPERATOR
4. IF CONNECTION FEE IS NECESSARY SO EACH CALL CONNECTION FEE IS CHARGED IN SPITE THE CALL HAS BEEN CONNECTED SUCCESSFULLY OR NOT . LIKE THE LINE IS BUSY ON THE RECEIVER SIDE.
Skype on ios

I used to be able to use Chrome 49 without any issues. Now I get no sound any more.
Has anyone found a browser that still works with Skype for web on XP?
I frequently need to call many different country some country the rate is really expensive. like me i work in overseas as a labour and I want to contact my family, can you make a price cheaper as like europe and america, develop country they have WiFi and date everywhere but in poor country no data and wifi , and very very hard to buy digital mobile so please sir make a normal price for poor people
Hope you will remember my request
I was subsequently thiking that, wit a couple of added features such as audio and script there is a whole new are form genre to be capitalised on as, being yet quite unconventional, I see whole new vistas whose production costs would be minimal, yet the opportunities it might open literally quite limitless - Congrats
Feel Free to get in touch to explore this matter further should I not have made myself clear, or even simply say ´How do!´
Cheers and Best of Luck
