Stumbled upon skype in browser, decided to try it on raspberry pi zero. Howether it told that I need to update my browser, so I've tried logging in with:

  1. Epiphany browser
  2. IceWeasel
  3. kweb browser (interestingly this one didn't load the page at all)
  4. Chromium (apt-get chromium-browser says it's outdated)

So the question is, whether it is possible to use skype (in browser or not), without buying ExaGear.

According to this blog http://blogs.skype.com/2014/11/14/please-welcome-skype-for-web-beta/

It is limited to Windows and MAC with specific browsers. Even then a plugin is required.

https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12316/what-is-the-skype-web-plugin-and-how-do-i-install-it

And it goes on to say "The Skype web plugin is not supported on Windows RT, Linux and Chromebooks"

So I don't think you are going to have any luck with this!

You can use the chat options just fine outside of Windows/Mac. And they are planning on deprecating the plugin once WebRCT is better. – David Mulder yesterday
