Tips & Warnings
You can make separate phone or video calls from multiple computers using the same Skype account at the same time. When making calls, other computers using the same Skype account cannot hear or view the conversation. On the other hand, if you send or receive an instant message, all computers using the same account will see the instant message chat thread.
