How to set up a free video conference with Skype If you want to use Skype Meet Now on mobile, you will need to download the Skype app but a Microsoft account is not required. To be clear, that’s no account required to access a meeting, sure… but more interestingly, it’s no account required to create a meeting. Skype Meet Now is free, it can run entirely in a browser and there’s no login required. A Skype account (AKA Microsoft ID) was required to access or set up a meeting.

The option to run a Skype call in a browser window instead of with the dedicated Skype app has been around for a while. Now, you can Skype without signing up and without installing an app.Īs Zoom steals the video conferencing spotlight and every other video conferencing solution on the market is all, like “uhh, what just happened?” Skype has a trick up its sleeve that’s perfectly suited to the situation we find ourselves in. Skype was doing video chat before it was cool. In all the video conferencing talk, people seem to have forgotten about the OG.
