How do you add second Skype account to same computer?

Answer 1

If you already have Skype on your computer, simply log on to Skype.

When the Skype screen appears look under the logo (on the upper left hand side), you'll see a menu bar. (the menu bar will show tabs for "skype" "contacts" "conversation" "view" etc...

On that menu bar Click "skype"

You'll see a drop down menu. Click the option "Sign out"

When you sign out, you'll have the option to either sign in, OR create a new account. (look to the right you'll see the option)

Click create a new account.

Fill that out and you'll have a second Skype account.

Now - to go back and forth and use both accounts, you'll need to log out each time to finish with Skype so the next account user can log on, when they click the Skype icon and want to use Skype.

Just logging in and logging out from the Skype Menu bar (skype option log out) is all you need to use several Skype accounts on one computer.

Please note: they account that's logged on is the one that will receive a "ring" when someone calls you.
