How to Use Skype on a Google Chromebook
In this video tutorial, I’ll show you how to install and use Skype on a Google Chromebook using the new developer application called Arc Welder.
Download Arc: https://developer.chrome.com/apps/getstarted_arc
Update 7/12/2015:
The never versions of Skype do not appear to be working. You can fix this by downloading version 4.9 of Skype.
“Chromebook Compatible”
Download Skype 4.9: http://www.androidapksfree.com/apk/download-skype-apk-4-9-4-9-0-45564/
Skype APK Mirror: Skype APK 4.9.0.45564
Update 8/11/2015:
If you are still having issues, there are several known bugs impacting some Chromebook models. Try uninstalling it and reinstalling Arc, otherwise follow the steps under “Test your app” (https://developer.chrome.com/apps/getstarted_arc) to report the bug.
Update 10/18/2015:
We added a mirror of the APK to the article. It’s local hosted, so it’s not going anywhere.
Update 12/28/2015:
The “Launch App” button has been replaced with “Test Your App”.
