Skype for Windows desktop

There’s so much you can do with Skype – share a bedtime story, host a meeting or take a language class.

Here’s just a few of the great things you can do:

Free Skype to Skype calls.
Low cost calls and text messages to mobiles and landlines.
Video call on Skype and Facebook.
Free instant messages to your friends, family and colleagues.

All you need to get started is Windows XP, Vista or 7, a webcam for video calls and a microphone.

We're working on a new version of Skype for Windows desktop. If you can't wait to try video messaging, then download the preview version now. Please note: this will require Flash. Preview may not be available in all markets.
