I'd suggest installing a "User Agent Switcher" or similar plugin/addon depending on the browser you use and setting the User agent for web skype to "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:50.0) Gecko/xxx Firefox/yy.z" or smth similar that tricks Skype into thinking it runs in a Linux browser - that's how I managed to get pass that annoying "Sorry, Skype for Web isnt available on this device yet." message and actually use it. cheers, Shteryana
