This makes this application one of the most versatile, enabling you to keep in touch with your entire list of online contacts by only having to log in into one single online account. IM is a website only application gathering and allowing the use of your Skype, AIM, MSN, Yahoo messengers while also allowing connectivity with popular social media networks.

All the regular Skype activities are supported, calls, incoming and outgoing, to Skype users as well as other phone numbers, given that you have a premium account. The client is small scale, quite capable and also very well rounded, being preferred by a younger generation. Imo messenger is one of the lighter weight applications, gathering and allowing interconnectivity between Facebook, Google Talk, Skype and more. Of course, you will need to have a Skype account or create one, (which is possible from any Chrome OS browser and then import your list of contacts) and then proceed to import the list into your application. The interface is similar to the one that Skype uses, and so you won’t have any issues learning it. Your Skype user base is also included and thus you will be able to accept video calls, start video calls as well as chat via the IM interface that is still provided. This is one of the best solutions for those that want a rich medium onto which larger groups of connections/contacts can all be reached for video and audio chats, for emailing as well as other immediate messaging connections. So, until Skype becomes natively usable, somewhere at the end of the year or early next year, you may want to consider these apps. But, there’s no reason to despair, there are alternatives, which make it possible to chat with your Skype connections via these apps. However, for the time being the application doesn’t support the OS.


The soon to arrive HTML5 implementation will make the use of Skype for Chromebook OS possible, natively, and also fully featured.
