How to Have Two Skype Accounts With the Same Email Address
Skype is a powerful communication tool that can be used for voice and video calls, chat, and share photos and emoticons with your friends. You can use it on multiple devices, including desktops and mobile phones.
You can have more than one Skype account, and you can even set up call forwarding to automatically forward incoming calls to your other accounts. This feature is great if you want to have separate work and personal Skype accounts on your phone, computer, and tablet.

Microsoft offers a way to run multiple Skype accounts in the same browser by adding the Skype web page messenger to your Mozilla Plugins list (click here for instructions). This is a simple yet effective way to add Skype to your Chrome, Edge, Opera, or Vivaldi browser without needing to download the app itself.
To get started, install the Skype Web page messenger and wait for it to complete its installation. You should also have a working internet connection and a supported browser. Once it’s installed, you can sign in to the second account by entering your email address and password.
In addition to the Web version, you can also log in via Outlook. This is a great way to keep your emails in the same place while using Skype for chatting and calling.
You’ll need to connect your Outlook account with another email and a Skype account that you’d like to use. In the Create an Account window, enter the personal details of your second account and click “I Agree” to continue.
When you’re done, return to your Outlook account and click on the icon next to the login name of your second account. If you’re using the Mac OS X version of Outlook, you’ll need to go into System Preferences and select “Account Settings” in order to enable this feature.
