Along with the Asus Chromebook Flip, Acer Chromebook R11 and Google Chromebook Pixel (2015 edition) are also expected to get the support for running Android apps.In May, Chromebooks outsold Apple's Mac machines for the first time in the US, so they seem to be getting a lot of traction in the market.

Earlier, only instant messaging support was provided to Chrome OS users through Skype for Web.Įven though the audio calls can now be made via Chromebooks, video call support has not been provided to Skype for Web on Chrome OS as of now, according to a report by PCWorld. However, the company has not made any official statement regarding the update.Ī simple sign-in procedure now allows you to make voice calls through Skype for Web.
