The Skype app allows you not only to make video calls, but also to play built-in online games. However, they are not available in all versions of the program and provide for the installation of additional software.
Instructions
Step 1
Skype games were available before the release of program version 5.3. Together with Skype, the ExtrasManager application was automatically installed on the computer, which made it possible to play with the interlocutor online. Currently, even when downloading older versions of Skype, the installation of ExtrasManager as well as the games themselves are no longer available. However, there is a special program called GameOrganizer, which is provided by the online service GameXN Go, which allows you to play the same games that were previously presented on Skype. You can download both single games and arrange online battles with the participation of groups of players. GameOrganizer is available for free download on the Internet.
Step 2
Download and install GameOrganizer on your computer. Select the program language and specify the path to its installation location on the disk. Further, the process will take place in automatic mode. The installation goes to program files automatically. Restart the program. Open GameOrganizer and Skype by logging in with your personal username and password. Allow the game program to access your Skype profile. This procedure is performed once.
Step 3
View the list of available games in the working area of the program. Click Invite to ask a friend or more friends to join the game. Please note that for this they must also install GameOrganizer on their computers. To do this, just send them links to download the application via quick messages in Skype. In addition, you will have access to single-player games that only require your participation. The list of entertainment is periodically updated with the release of new versions of GameOrganizer. For convenience, before starting the game, set the “Do not disturb” status in Skype so that calls and messages from friends do not distract you from the gameplay.
