Many of us maintain different email accounts to cater for different setups; You may want one for personal and one for work. The same can apply to Skype, if that’s your primary communication tool. You may want to keep one for home and the other for business. And that would require you to run multiple instances of Skype because you don’t want to keep switching accounts by logging in and out, right?
However, even after many updates, users still cannot log in to two Skype accounts on the same computer.. or can you? Well, read on!
We will help you change that tedious practice through this tool called Seaside Multiple Skype Sessions by using a tool where users can use multiple Skype accounts on Windows. Seaside changes the way Windows initiates Skype. This allows users to run multiple Skype accounts side-by-side, as long as your computer’s memory is okay with that.
Cool Tip: If you are a Linux user, check out this trick I found online to run multiple Skype sessions on Ubuntu. Works like charm for me.
Use multiple Skype sessions by the beach
Download and install Seaside Multiple Skype Sessions on your computer to get started. The installation is quite simple and users only need to follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup. During the installation, you will be asked if you want to launch all the additional Skype accounts that you configure with the application at Windows startup. If you ask me, it is better to refuse. Skype itself takes a significant amount of time to launch on Windows startup, and adding a few of them will definitely hinder your Windows boot time.
Once Seaside is installed, launch the Seaside configuration tool. Here you will have to add all the additional Skype accounts you want to use. Skip the account already configured in the default Skype installed on your computer and add all the additional accounts you want to use side-by-side. Once that’s done, save the settings and exit the app.
Now find the app Seaside Get Started Start Multi Skype now in your Start Screen and launch the app. The app will take some time to launch and open the Skype instance for any accounts that you have configured in the settings.
You can now work on all of these Skype accounts at the same time, but due to hardware limitations, you can’t make voice and video calls with two different accounts at the same time. To make video calls with one account, make sure that your webcam access is not blocked by any other applications running on your system.
If you want to add or remove accounts in the future, look for the app Configuration by the sea in the Start Screen and launch it to make the necessary changes. Make sure you close all Seaside instances of Skype running on your computer before making changes.
Conclusion
So that’s how you can use Seaside for Windows to sign in and chat with multiple Skype accounts at the same time. I am sure that users who have multiple Skype accounts to separate home and office work will love this simple tool. If you want to suggest a better alternative to the app, don’t forget to share it with our readers by leaving a comment.
