How to install Skype on Ubuntu?

Asked By David T Noon 30 points N/A Posted on - 04/19/2015

Skype is owned by Microsoft, no doubt at all. I know that Skype can be downloaded from its official store but it provides the .exe file which cannot be used on Ubuntu. On the other hand, using Wine is also equally very tough. How can I install Skype on Ubuntu 14.04?

How to install Skype on Ubuntu?

Even though Sk​ype is owned by Microsoft now you can easily install Skype on Ubuntu 14.04 (LTS 64-bit).

Skype version 4.3 can be freely and easily installed on Ubuntu through Canonical Partners repository.

• Go to Unity dash > Open Software and Updates > click on Other Software tab > enable Canonical Partners repository.
