Multiple Skype Accounts In A Single Desktop
Skype is one of the most powerful chatting software used commonly. The software’s appearance and its options attract users. We experience good voice and video clarity through Skype chatting.
Most of the users have multiple Skype ids. If we look into a family or business there might have multiple Skype accounts. It common practice to have multiple Skype account for various purposes e.g.: Business, Personal etc.. No one would like to mix their personal pressure with Business or so on. In such cases Multiple Skype accounts will come in role.
I would like to explain, how we can configure multiple Skype account in the same desktop?

If you have already done with first two steps, go directly to 3rd step.
