Skype on a Chromebook?
« on: June 03, 2015, 12:47:00 AM »
Hey, everyone!


So, I have a chromebook, and it's great. But the only downfall is: It won't let me download Skype. I've heard of a couple people doing it, but I can't figure out how to. Can anyone help me out?

It's a pain in the ass! Yay!
But it can be done. It's not hard so much as it is tedious. I did it about a month back.

As long as you have an android device, install both Skype and the Archon Packager.
Use Archon to package the skype app into a chrome app, then share the package to your google drive.
Then, on your laptop, install Archon Runtime from the market and extract the package you made earlier, it can be installed into google chrome via the extensions page. (You must activate developer mode first)
All you have to do once you unpack it is click "load unpacked extension". Pretty easy!
