sujith Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Microsoft's Skype services is used by millions of consumers around the world but one area that the platform has not been accessible until today, has been through a web browser outside of Outlook.com. Hot on the heels of the announcement regarding Skype being overhauled inside of Outlook, by going to Skype.com, you can now access the service even if you do not use Outlook.Seeing that Skype has apps on every major platform, not having a web component of the service was not a huge deal, but for those times when you need to access the messaging platform and cannot get to your smartphone or PC, you now have an online option. That is, if you live in the UK or US.Microsoft is limiting this beta to only the US and UK at this time but once the beta period is over, the web service will likely be opened up to all users around the globe.Skype says that they have hundreds of millions of users visiting Skype.com every month and that this feature was a top priority for those users.While the company is moving forward with their web service, one point they have not been as open about is their plans with Windows 10Source/http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-brings-skype-to-the-web-outlookcom-not-required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mona Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Agree, it would be a nice feature to be able to use Skype directly from their web site.TeamViewer has got it long time ago. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Microsoft brings Skype to the web, Outlook.com not requiredI prefer neither the Skype with Outlook.com nor the one from the web - it feels more reassuring to use the Desktop variant (not that it is completely free of its own foibles, though.)
