Can I run multiple Skype accounts at the same time?

You might want to run more than one Skype account at the same time if there is one account that you use to communicate with clients, and another that you use to communicate with friends and family members. There is no way for you to run multiple instances of Skype on the same device at the same time, but there are a few ways to access more than one Skype account simultaneously on the same device:

• Use multiple devices: If you are using your PC, you can sign into your work account, and you can sign into your personal account on your phone.
