同时使用多个Skype帐户可以帮助您同时关注生活的不同领域。您可以使用一个帐户进行工作对话和商务通话，一个用于与家人保持联系，另一个用于与朋友闲逛和制定计划。无论哪种方式，当您可以在 Windows 10计算机或设备(computer or device)上同时运行多个Skype帐户时，继续登录和退出是没有意义的。这是如何做：
如何从Windows 10中的不同Skype 应用程序(Skype apps)访问两个Skype 帐户(access two)
虽然Skype并非设计为在多个实例中运行，但与Windows 10中的其他应用程序一样，您可以在计算机或设备上启动(computer or device)Skype 应用程序(Skype app)两次以访问两个(access two)不同的帐户。
这是因为您可以在Windows 10 PC 上同时拥有该应用程序的两个版本：Windows 10附带的Windows 应用程序(Windows app)和“经典” Skype 桌面(Skype desktop)应用程序，您可以从此处(here)下载。
要了解有关这两种应用程序之间差异的更多信息，请阅读什么是Windows 应用程序(Windows app)？什么是桌面应用程序？他们有什么不同？
在您的Windows 10计算机或设备(computer or device)上下载并安装桌面Skype 应用程序(Skype app)后，您可以在每个应用程序上使用不同的凭据登录。两个版本的步骤相同，但如果您需要帮助，请阅读我们关于如何在Windows 10上使用(Windows 10)Skype的教程。
使用两个帐户可以让您在您的 Skype工作帐户(work account)上进行群组通话，同时关注您所爱之人的任何个人消息。如果您同时进行多个重要对话，您甚至可以在分屏模式下并排使用这两个应用程序。
虽然这两个应用程序看起来几乎相同，但桌面Skype 应用程序(Skype app)比默认的 Windows 10 应用程序有一些改进。我们遇到的一个不同之处可以帮助您在共享屏幕时保护您的隐私，有关它的更多详细信息，您可以阅读如何在(How)Skype上共享屏幕。
当您同时使用这两个应用程序时，将它们区分开来可能是一个挑战，因为它们都在任务栏中显示相同的S图标。但是，您可以使用一些技巧来区分它们。
首先，让我们看看如何判断您正在启动哪个应用程序。在您的开始菜单(Start Menu)中，您可以直接访问Windows 10应用程序。但是，Skype 桌面(Skype desktop)应用程序有自己的文件夹。打开开始菜单(Start Menu)并向下滚动到字母S。您可以看到一个Skype 文件夹(Skype folder)和一个Skype 快捷方式(Skype shortcut)。Skype 快捷方式(Skype shortcut)的图标是白色背景上的蓝色S - 即预安装的Windows 10应用程序。
单击或点击文件夹会显示另一个Skype 快捷方式(Skype shortcut)。这一次，S是蓝底白字。这是Skype 桌面(Skype desktop)应用程序。决定(Decide)为每个应用程序使用哪个帐户。
在Windows 10中，您还可以为这两个Skype 应用程序(Skype apps)创建新的快捷方式并更改它们的图标以避免在打开它们时进一步混淆。
您还可以使用一些技巧在两个Skype 应用程序(Skype app)运行时将它们区分开来。预装的Windows 10应用程序的标题栏(title bar)为灰色，下载的桌面Skype 应用程序为(Skype app)蓝色(app and blue)。
如果您从屏幕右下角查看系统托盘，两个应用程序显示的图标也不同。(system tray)桌面应用程序(desktop app)的图标在此处为绿色，使其更易于识别，而Windows 10应用程序则保留了经典的蓝色Skype 外观(Skype look)。
如果您需要定期使用两个不同的Skype帐户，那么在您的 Windows 10 PC 上安装这两个应用程序是最有意义的。(Skype)但是，如果您不想下载和安装其他应用程序怎么办？或者您需要访问两个以上的Skype帐户？好吧，正如您即将看到的，总是有Skype for Web。
如何在Skype for Web中使用多个(Web)Skype帐户
在 Windows 10计算机或设备(computer or device)上安装另一个Skype 应用程序(Skype app)可能很麻烦。幸运的是，微软推出(Microsoft)了Skype for Web，旨在在您的网络浏览器中提供类似的体验，但允许您使用与通过(web browser)Windows 10应用程序连接的帐户不同的帐户。Skype for Web也是同时使用多个Skype 帐户(Skype account)的可行替代方案，因为它在Google Chrome、Microsoft Edge、Opera和Vivaldi上可用。您可以访问不同的Skype 帐户(Skype account)从每个浏览器。但是，在Opera 和 Vivaldi(Opera and Vivaldi)上，您只能将其用于聊天，因此如果您想拨打电话或共享屏幕，我们建议您使用Google Chrome 或 Microsoft Edge访问(Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge)Skype for Web 。打开您的浏览器，访问Skype for Web 页面(the Skype for Web page)，然后使用您的凭据登录。
片刻之后，熟悉的Skype 界面(Skype interface)应该会加载到您的浏览器中，您可以开始使用它了。如果您需要同时登录更多 Skype 帐户，总有隐身模式(Incognito mode)或隐私浏览(Browsing)。进入隐身模式(Go incognito)，您可以为每个支持Skype for Web的浏览器多登录一个帐户。
而已！现在，您可以决定以最舒适的方式在Windows 10中打开您需要的所有(Windows 10)Skype帐户。
你有多少个 Skype(Skype)帐户？
按照本教程中的建议，您应该能够同时访问大约十个 Skype 帐户。我们希望这对于最善于交际的用户来说已经足够了。但是，我们想知道您现在有多少个 Skype 帐户。你用它们做什么？请(Leave)在下方给我们留言，告诉我们您的答案。
How to use multiple Skype accounts at the same time in Windows 10
Using multiple Skypе accounts at the same time can help you keep an eye on different areas of your life simultaneously. You can use one account for work conversations and business calls, one tо keep in touch with your family, and another to hang out and make planѕ with your friеnds. Either way, it doesn't make ѕense to keep signing in and out, when уou can have multiplе Skype accounts running alongѕide on your Windows 10 computer or device. Here's how:
How to access two Skype accounts from different Skype apps in Windows 10
While Skype is not designed to run in multiple instances, like other apps in Windows 10, you can launch the Skype app twice on your computer or device to access two different accounts.
That is because there are two versions of the app you can have on your Windows 10 PC at the same time: the Windows app that comes with Windows 10 and the "classic" Skype desktop app, which you can download from here.
To learn more about the differences between the two types of apps, read What is a Windows app? What is a desktop application? How are they different?.
After downloading and installing the desktop Skype app on your Windows 10 computer or device, you can log in with different credentials on each app. The steps are the same for both versions but, if you need help, read our tutorial on how to use Skype on Windows 10.
Using two accounts allows you to make group calls on your Skype work account, while keeping an eye on any personal messages from your loved ones at the same time. You can even use the two apps in split-screen mode, side by side, if you are having several important conversations at once.
While the two apps appear almost identical, the desktop Skype app has some improvements over the default Windows 10 one. One difference of note we came across can help with your privacy while sharing your screen and, for more details about it, you can read How to share the screen on Skype.
When you're using both apps at the same time, telling them apart can be a challenge, as they both display the same S icon in the taskbar. However, there are some tricks you can use to tell them apart.
First, let's see how you can tell which app you are launching. In your Start Menu, you can access the Windows 10 app directly. However, the Skype desktop app has its own folder. Open the Start Menu and scroll down to the letter S. You can see a Skype folder and a Skype shortcut. The icon for the Skype shortcut is a blue S on a white background - that is the pre-installed Windows 10 app.
Clicking or tapping on the folder reveals another Skype shortcut. This time, the S is white on a blue background. This is the Skype desktop app. Decide which account to use for each app.
In Windows 10, you can also create new shortcuts for the two Skype apps and change their icons to avoid further confusion when opening them.
There are also tricks you can use to tell the two Skype apps apart while they are running. The title bar is gray for the pre-installed Windows 10 app and blue for the desktop Skype app you downloaded.
If you look in the system tray from the lower-right corner of your screen, the icons displayed for the two apps are also different. The desktop app's icon is green here, making it way easier to recognize, while the Windows 10 app keeps the classic blue Skype look.
If you need to use two different Skype accounts on a regular basis, having both apps on your Windows 10 PC makes the most sense. However, what if you don't feel like downloading and installing an additional app? Or you need access to even more than two Skype accounts? Well, as you're about to see, there is always Skype for Web.
How to use multiple Skype accounts with Skype for Web
Getting another Skype app on your Windows 10 computer or device can be a hassle. Luckily, Microsoft came up with Skype for Web, which is meant to offer a similar experience in your web browser, but lets you use a different account from the one connected through the Windows 10 app. Skype for Web is also a viable alternative to use multiple Skype accounts at the same time, because it is available on Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Vivaldi. You can access a different Skype account from each browser. However, on Opera and Vivaldi, you can only use it for chat, so we recommend accessing Skype for Web with Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge if you want to make calls or share your screen. Open your browser, access the Skype for Web page, and sign in with your credentials.
After a few moments, the familiar Skype interface should load in your browser, and you can start using it. If you need even more Skype accounts logged in at the same time, there is always Incognito mode or Private Browsing. Go incognito, and you can log one more account for each of the browsers that support Skype for Web.
That's it! Now you can decide on the most comfortable way to open all the Skype accounts you need in Windows 10.
How many Skype accounts do you have?
Following the advice in this tutorial, you should be able to access around ten Skype accounts at the same time. We hope that's enough for even the most sociable users. However, we would like to know how many Skype accounts you have right now. What do you use each of them for? Leave us a comment below with your answer.
