This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Here's a solution that doesn't require sudo or have any of the other issues described elsewhere:
Replace 'Skype2' with as many numbers as you need instances of skype and go nuts.
Matthew ScharleyMatthew ScharleyRun Skype.app, then use this command in terminal:
Tested on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 and Skype 5.8.0.865.
slhckThe command line switches have changed, I found the new ones on this page. Copying the format from Matthew's excellent answer, we have the following command:
Replace 'Skype2' with as many numbers as you need instances of skype and go nuts.
It's not easy. Skype actively prevents opening additional instances using open -na Skype and /Applications/Skype.app/Contents/MacOS/Skype in Terminal.
You need to launch a Skype instance, then go to ~/Library/Application Support/Skype, and delete the files Skype.pid. Then open Terminal and execute one of the commands above (I recommend the open one).
Blog client for mac. It works with, and iCloud email accounts if you opt for a free account. Inky () Inky talks about itself as being an alternative to Outlook.
Remember: The Skype developers actively work toward preventing you from doing that, so some things might go terribly wrong if you do this. But, I was able to log into my account twice. No idea about anything else.
Daniel Beck♦Daniel BeckI have done the following workaround to run multiple instances of Skype on facebook.
Make sure you have more than one user created on Mac, if not then you can create one now.Open Terminal.app from Applications>utilites>terminalType the following commands.
$ su username
Password:..
bash-3.2$
Note: Replace with the name second user on you MacNow you are logged into second user via terminal. All we need is to start Skype APP for the second user, which can be done by typing the following set of commands
To see it live you can watch video explaining this on my blog post. Hope that helps.
I recommend to use Daniel Beck method.
Using sudo is asking you to run Skype as an administrator. If something happens to your Skype package like it was disassembled by some hacker, running as an administrator or super user is not a good idea. Deleting the .pid file actually works and has no problem. Skype runs by checking multiple instances by checking the .pid file under ~/Library/Application Support/Skype/Skype.pid (as the file).
Also, if you're a developer, you might be wondering why port 80 is not working, that's because Skype is using it when calling your port 80 from localhost or using your IP v4 address. Skype somehow blocks it since it's running via administrator or super user account.
The above works, though it won't allow you to run simultaneous account at the same time, same machine, same user account but that's fine, obviously.
So to make up the command, this can be done by,
using the command '/Application/Skype.app/Contents/MacOS/Skype &' works too but if you close your terminal, the Skype too will exist, as the session will be hold by the current session of your terminal. So using 'open' command is perfect.
Matthew Scharley provided the best answer. With his method, you keep the same account but separated settings for the 2 accounts, so auto-login will work fine. This is not the case with the .pid file delete method.
If you're using the terminal, the following 2 aliases will help you start the 2 skype instances in any order:
You can also create 2 automator scripts if you want to start these commands from spotlight.
I use this command:
This works for me on linux; I assume the option is also available on OS X.
Now there is a new way:
Since the latest Skype update (8.12.0.14) I had to merge 3 steps from others users to work (I don't know if is the best solution because the steps are kind of tricky (special the last one) but..it is working. If you have/know a better solution please say)
do shell script 'sudo /Applications/Skype.app/Contents/MacOS/Skype /secondary'
(also you can close the script application after skype launch)
tell application 'Application_Script_Editor_Name'
quit
end tell
sudo visudo
(add at the end but replace 'add_your_username')
'add_your_username' ALL = NOPASSWD: /Applications/Skype.app/Contents/MacOS/Skype /secondary
System Preferences > User & Groups > Login Items tab > + (plus) button
I'm currently using a slight variation of the accepted answer (on Mac):
open -na Skype --args --secondary --datapath='/Users/$(whoami)/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Skype for Desktop/Profile1'
