I believe you have it installed, but I'm curious why it doesn't show in you apps menu.

RE: How to install Skype on PBP? - tophneal - 01-23-2020 If that's the case, I'd love to know why all of my Chrome extensions/apps are available in the app menu of my Manjaro Gnome3 install. Even the Text and IRC client apps for ChromiumOS show up until I turn them off on the extensions page. As a quick example, I'm attaching a screenshot that shows Chrome Remote Desktop (no longer stand alone, Chrome extension only) in the extensions page, and my panel/dock. RE: How to install Skype on PBP? - james64 - 01-23-2020 not sure either. Now i'm getting crashes every few hours. Only change today was to install keyboard/touchpad update as per wiki. arrrg RE: How to install Skype on PBP? - Jakobp - 03-29-2020 (01-20-2020, 01:10 PM)Luke Wrote: I don't think there is an arm64 armhf build of skype, but this may work on Chromium: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/skype/lifbcibllhkdhoafpjfnlhfpfgnpldfl Doesn’t seem to work - I get a “audio and video not supported by your browser” error bot in web version and as a plugin but works fine in Firefox. Anybody know why this can be?

RE: How to install Skype on PBP? - poVoq - 10-01-2020 No, Skype4Pidgin does not support video or audio chat at all. I also researched this a bit, and while using https://web.skype.com with Chromium is no issue at all for text chat, there seems to be no way to make it work with video/audio chat. Edit: See message below, with useragent spoofing in Firefox Skype Web seems to work. Maybe in the future there might be a way to use the Android version with Anbox, but right now Anbox does not support passing through the camera either AFAIK. RE: How to install Skype on PBP? - Mangled - 10-02-2020 Is it possible to install Skype via flatpak or snap for aarch64? :: I can confirm that Skype video and messaging is working in Firefox with the Skype add-on that bypasses the browser support. Use web.Skype.com |
