How To Run Skype On Google Chromebook
How To Run Skype On Google Chromebook
1. Enable App Runtime For Chrome:
The App Runtime for Chrome (Beta) is a project that allows you to run your favorite Android apps on the Chrome OS. Google knew the demand from Chromebook users to use Android apps on the Chrome OS. Thus Google launched this project with the release of 4 Android apps that would work in Chrome OS.
In order to enable the App Runtime, you’d have to install one of the those four apps from the Play Store – Duolingo, Evernote, Sight Words, or Vine. When you install one of these apps, it automatically adds the App Runtime for Chrome (Beta) which you can see in the Extensions.
As you can see, I’ve installed Duolingo that automatically enable the App Runtime for Chrome in my Chromebook. 2. Download Skype APK:
