It's listed as a beta version, which is Microsoft's way of saying all the bugs may not be worked out yet. I visited the site on Friday morning, and under the button to download Skype, there's a new link that lets you try out Skype for Web. In a blog post, Skype announced that its Skype for Web will be available to anyone in the United States or the United Kingdom.
Now, Microsoft's Skype is joining the browser-based club. Even Apple is considering making its maps available on the Web, and you can already use its office software in a tab. For example, the popular instant messaging program Whatsapp introduced a version of its service that runs in a browser earlier this year. That's why there's been a renewed push lately for browser-based versions of online services.
ReutersĪpps usually provide an easier user experience than programs on the Web, but the requirement of downloading the product means that a lot of potential users will not bother. Skype's new website allows you to send messages and make video calls without downloading the app.
