Skype will support most of the mainstream browsers, including Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

Because it is the testing phase, Microsoft is currently only to a small number of users to the web version of Skype, in the next few months, Microsoft will be the official release of the web version of Skype to all users.

Currently beta version of the Skype for Web only supports text chat temporarily, to get voice calls and video chat features also need to install a plug-in.
