#Skype in browser for free
"Hello! Skype being part of Microsoft, our effort is to give Windows 10 users the best experience possible and that means that for those users that have a primary MSA set in their device they will be able to start communicating with their friends and loved ones for free and without having to go through the process of creating an account. Is there any hope for those of us that wish to disable Skype from the integration with the new Outlook Mail all together? I’ve written to anybody that would listen for months now and these are the only two responses I’ve received: I can understand any user would be happy with this change, and congratulations! I am happy for you. Paul, this is great if you actually use Skype. (That means it works across browsers and PCs, too.)
I believe that this change is persistent (to your account) and that changing it once will change it across multiple Microsoft sites, but I’m waiting to hear back. You’ll see a new option here, called “Sound: Turn notification sounds on or off.” Just turn ’em off. In the Settings pane that appears, select Notifications (it’s the default). To disable Skype notification sounds, open or OneDrive in your web browser, click the Skype button at the top (the one with a messaging-type icon), and then click the Settings cog at the bottom. If that thing was open all day, it would drive me crazy. But it leads to a bigger problem: I also cannot use as my primarily email address as a result, too, because I prefer to use web clients.

#Skype in browser download
However, the download link above downloads an MSI which was created in June 2016 (a long time before NPAPI was removed) so I think maybe it’s not looking good unless it makes use of DLLs or other components which have since been upgraded. Clearly, the “normal” Skype for Business Web App experience still works in those browsers so that has been updated. What’s also not clear to me is whether this plugin still uses NPAPI, which would mean it won’t work in any modern versions of Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
#Skype in browser update
If anyone is able to test and let me know, happy to update this blog post to reflect that. What I don’t know is whether this plugin will continue to work with browsers other than IE 11 and Safari. You’ll need to ensure that it is installed for every user using your solution that may want to make use of audio/video features. The fall-back behaviour for browsers which didn’t support ORTC was always the Skype for Business Web App Plugin, and this is still available. You can’t really defer the update as it’s a core Windows 10 update and doing so would leave machines open to significant risk. If you still have solutions which are using these native capabilities of legacy Edge, your options are limited. The announcement last week means that, after April 13 2021, when Windows 10 updates then it’s going to remove the legacy Edge browser and replace it with the new Chromium one, thus removing the only way to natively run Skype Web SDK with media in a browser.
