Run multiple Skype accounts on Windows Desktop

To use more than one Skype account on the same computer at the same time, you need to start a new instance of Skype. Here’s a little command that will allow you to have two (active) Skype accounts running at the same time on your PC:

Windows 32-bit:

2. Press the Enter key

3. Skype window will Open and you can login with your other account.
