Run two Skype accounts, same phone

How can I run two Skype accounts on the same Android phone?

In order to use 2 Skype accounts on the same phone, you need to switch between accounts back and forth by signing out of one and signing into the other.
To do that, press on the phone menu button while you are in Skype page then choose Sign Out from the menu that will appear. You will be directed to the sign in screen. Enter the other username and password

Undo running two Skype accounts

A few months ago, I set up my PC to allow two Skype accounts to run at the same time (which was a pretty easy process). I did this so I could have my business and personal accounts running at the same time. Unfortunately, with this merge my Skype window doesn't pop up for 1-5 minutes after I sign in, and when I click on the Skype icon to get it to auto-pop-up, it just provides me a new sign in screen.
The rest of my computer runs perfectly and I no longer need two accounts running at once. I tried un-installing Skype and re-installing it. No change. I also browsed through the properties, but I'm not overly savvy with the backend or deep-software capabilities. I also tried to reinstall a previous version of Skype, but the button to restore is faded and showing unavailable (although I can see there's a previous version from 4 months ago). I just want to go back to the original one account running at a time.
Please help!

In order to be able to run two Skype accounts at the same time you must have created a new shortcut with the “/secondary” switch in the Target field.
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA829/how-can-i-run-two-skype-accounts-on-the-same-computer
The only what you need to do now is to delete this “/secondary” switch from the path in the shortcuts Target field.

Run two skype accounts on Mac OSX 10.6.8

This is an idiotic problem that occurs when you don't pay attention to the launch screen when you open Skype. Make sure that the check box that says log me in when I sign on is unchecked. If you ck it or it gets ck'd by the system when you first login you're forever tied to that acct. without recourse to another.I'm having the same problem because it's really diffiuclt to uncheck from the splash screen because everything happens so quickly !Skype should really fix this problem through another interface option for changing this.It's really stupid that such a great product has this idiotic flaw in the interface.I don't have time to complain about it to them, so any help on this front appreciated.Also an easier to access live chat or phone in customer support option would make them a lot of money....if anyone is listening ?

I can easily run as many versions of Skype as I want (currently I have about 7 running). I'll detail the process below. But for those who already know how, my issue is that I can't copy/cut/paste in any of the non-primary instances because they are being run under other user accounts. Any ideas on how to get the other user clipboards to function? To open multiple versions:1) System Preferneces2) Users & Groups3) Click the lock on the bottom left and enter your admin password4) Click the '+' sign above the lock5) Click the dropdown at the top and select Administrator.6) When naming the account I suggest staying consistant (account1, account2, etc.) MAKE SURE YOU ENTER A PASSWORD. THIS WONT WORK IF YOU DONT MAKE A PW.7) In applications goto Utilities >> Terminal Type: su account## -c "/Applications/Skype.app/Contents/MacOS/Skype && exit"For the step above, replace account## with whatever account name you made.9) Enter the password for that account. As mentioned above, you can't cut/copy/paste in any of the secondary accounts, so if anyone knows a way around this it would be very helpful. Thanks.

Work two Skype accounts simultaneously on Mac?

Hi,
I'm considering a Skype Business Account but would like to keep my private account running at the same time (without logging on/off to toggle accounts). There seems to be a workaround for Windows (by running "C:\Programme\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /secondary). Is there something comparable for the Mac?
Thanks,
Caddis

This solution requires the use of Terminal, an app included in Mac OS. It is an advanced-user app that might be intimidating for basic users but is quite simple to use, at least for the intentions of this solution.
The instructions are written for the inexperienced-in-Terminal basic user. Otherwise, this solution can be inferred by the solutions posted in the links at the end of this post.
Instructions
Having Skype already installed in your computer and already open:
1. Open Terminal. (If you don't know where to find it you can search it using Spotlight)
2. On the window that Terminal opens (a white window with a line of text awaiting for you to type) write: "sudo /Applications/Skype.app/Contents/MacOS/Skype" (you can copy&paste from here, it has to be everything between the quotation marks, including the space between "sudo" and "/App..." EXCLUDE the quotation marks).
3. Terminal will ask for your user account password (the same you use when you log in to your computer or install an app).
4. After a few seconds a second window of Skype will open.
5. You can close the Terminal window if you wish. (Some users reported this closes Skype too although it hasn't happened to me, if it does you will have to minimize Terminal and keep it open as long as you need the two accounts.)
This solution/procedure is based in the very similar solutions posted by:
kai_schroder in http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/Work-two-Skype-accounts-simultaneously-on-Mac/m-p/272748/highlight...
ccalhoun in http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/Re-Run-two-skype-accounts-on-my-Mac/m-p/466123/highlight/true#M123...
ems_904 in http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/Is-there-a-way-to-sign-on-to-multiple-Skype-accounts-at-the-same/m...
Note for advanced users: This solution is basically the same kai_schroder posts although greatly explained for basic users. Compared to the other two solutions, it simplifies the need of a second user account in the computer by using the 'sudo' command in Terminal.
FOR SKYPE: Clearly Mac users are in need of a better solution from Skype.

Does anybody know how I can run multiple skype accounts on my macbook air? I found workarounds on youtube, followed the steps to set-up a second skype account but I can't login using the second account.

How do I run multiple skype accounts on my macbook air. I'm using MAC OS X 10.6.8. I followed the workaround steps on youtube to set up a skype b account (application and folder) but when I open the skype b account I can't login. I get an error message saying "please check your network settings and try again". My 1 skype account works but I need to run 2 skype accounts at the same time, 1 for a client and my own personal account.
Thanks

Merging two Skype accounts

I have two Skype accounts which I would like to merge toghether. My first account is Frank.Deijkers and the second one is Frank_Deijkers. I would like to only use the first account (Frank.Deijkers) and then add my caller ID and also a Skype phone number. My second account (Frank_Deijkers) has a valid subscription which I would like to transfer to my first account.
Can you give me instructions on how to do this?
Thanks
Frank Deijkers

Unfortunately, it isn't currently possible to merge separate Skype Accounts.

How do I quickly* switch between two Skype account...

I have a need to be able to quickly* switch between two Skype accounts on my Windows 7 desktop computer.
Both accounts have high-security difficult-to-remember and hard-to-type passwords.
Many products have a facility for doing this, remembering recent account/password combinations, or having linked accounts.
Does Skype have a way of doing this?
And if it doesn't, how do I request it get one be developed?
I use a password manager, LastPass, but of course Skype isn't a browser so it doesn't work with Lastpass.
* "Quickly switch" means without switching computer sign-on accounts and without re-typing the high-security difficult-to-remember and hard-to-type passwords many times per day.
I understand you're all volunteers. Thank you very much for your efforts on this.

This can be done by setting up an another Skype client in a separate directory and with a shortcut containing the extra /datapath, /removable and /secondary switches.

For your purpose you can make use of a copy of Skype.exe of the already installed Skype application.

Two Skype Accounts; Can They be Merged?

I have two skype accounts, one I set up and could not use, but it has credit. The other is current, and I would like to merge them, or transfer the balance from one to the other, so i can use the pending credit. Does anyone know how to do this? Is there real tech support for skype, or just user community? Also, I Just got a recharge, (when credit falls below a certian amout, skpe can automomatically recharge your balance, and charge you) but I'm SURE I didn't sign up for this. I've de selected this option after being charged $10, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this experience.

Hi, Valirosi, and welcome to the Community,
I arranged to transfer your post to the Skype Account: Rates & Subscriptions message board as it did not quite fit where you had added it.
Skype does not permit any credit, features, or subscriptions to be transferred from one account to another. Likewise, Skype accounts can not be "merged" to create one new account, and neither can one Skype account be merged or folded into another.
You would need to request a refund of credit you do not need from the account where you no longer need it, and purchase new credit for the account where you will use it.
For subscriptions and call features, you would need to cancel the subscriptions on the account you will not be using, and purchase new subscriptions for the account where you would use the subscription or feature.
Credit tops up automatically by default; if you do not wish to use this facility, you will need to disable it within your account details. Check your account settings just one more time ...

Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
I add this information in an effort to help walk you through the process:
You will need to proceed through each step, one at a time. Sign on to the Skype website as requested. Choose the subject and topic which most closely matches the item you need assistance with. Then, continue past Step 2 of the instruction where several articles from the FAQ library will appear for you to review, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request (the blue "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip through Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started. When you complete the webform and click Submit, your information is relayed to Skype and you will receive a reply via e-mail.
If you are a Skype Premium or other eligible customer, you will be routed to start an instant message chat session with a Customer Service agent.

Elaine

On new MacPro with Microsoft Office, two email accounts (same server) yet one is fine the other dumps 35,000 emails into inbox. Apple consultants no help. How do I get the 35000 email account fixed?

On new MacPro with Microsoft Office. Two email accounts, same service provider and server, yet one email account is fine and the other dumped the entire server of 35,000 emails into inbox. Need to keep server load for business, but how can emulating server on one account be fixed?

You should clean up your inbox on the server. Log into the account's web interface and move the 35,000 emails out of the inbox into another folder. Why do you need to keep 35,000 emails in the inbox? An email client like OutLook etc. using POP protocol downloads all the inbox emails to your computer.

Using two Skype accounts at the same time

I need to stay online under two different accounts, so that I can chat with two different classes of clients.
As of today I can only alternate between users. Is there a way I can open two accounts at the same time?
I'm on an Intel iMac, running OSX Mountain Lion.
Thanks for any hints.

There's no proper way to do it - although forcing another instance of Skype as a different user seems to work... but test it thoroughly yourself before using with clients. Audio plays from both apps, not sure about mic. input. I'm not recommending it, and only tested briefly with Skype 6.3.59.602, but anyway...
For example - if you create another user account on the mac - named test, and after opening Skype as normal in your usual account, open Terminal & paste the following + enter
su test -c "/Applications/Skype.app/Contents/MacOS/Skype &"; exit
you should be asked for test's password in Terminal, then another Skype will open, although you'll likely get a warning message or two (choose cancel).

Can't link Microsoft account to Skype account, sam...

I signed up for skype in 2008. Downloaded the app some years later and started using on electronic devices. Bought credit through iTunes. On sept 26th received 3 strange emails from skype telling me that 1. my “skype credit active again,” 2. “currency conversion from USD to EUR was successful,” and 3. “registered email changed to [e-mail removed for privacy and security].” None of these changes were brought on by me so I went about getting my account frozen/released.
In trying to deal with this hacked Skype account, I had to create a Microsoft account. I used the same email tied to the hacked Skype account – [e-mail removed for privacy and security]. When I tried to linking this Microsoft account to my Skype username, it didn’t recognize my password so I reset it. My Skype username didn’t recognize the reset password, only the Microsoft account registered to e[e-mail removed for privacy and security] allowed me to use the reset password.
My question is how can I link the two if I can’t get access to my old Skype account. My “new” Microsoft account uses my old address but now has live: in front of it, but has none of my old account history, contacts, information etc…I have tried reinstalling the programs on all devices but am never prompted to link accounts as seen in tutorials. Even if I were, I wouldn't be able to sign in to my Skype account.

Hi Bunais,
Thank you for posting this issue on the TechNet community forums.
From the description I understand that you're having problems switching your local account to a Microsoft account and are receiving the error message: "The password you signed in with is different from your password for your Microsoft account".
Is this correct?
Here's an article that may help you:

How to run two files with same url- urgent

hi,
i created two servlet page and both are working very fine.but at same time i only able to run one file with same url. Is possible to run two or more file at same time with same url name..
if you r not understanding what i want to ask then, i have two file names under helloWeb directory
1) helloWorld.java(servletname s1, url /man)
2) helloWeb.java (servletname s2,url /man)
to run - http://localhost:7001/helloWeb/man - it runs very first file which is added to deployment module.
so i want to know how i can run both file with same url, for this what i have to pass on my address bar.
plz help me i m wating
<b></b>

Hi,
We can give same url mapping to both Servlets but we can access the servlet which is entered first in web.xml because whenever we send a request to the webserver then webserver look at the elements in web.xml file one by one.
When it finds the corresponding url mapping then immediately sends the response to the client.The same url mapping for the next element will be ignored.
I think there is no possibility to access both servlets with same url.
