Both the solutions does the same thing Chrome extension for Skype just opens the page web.skype.com. All the features are not available in Skype for web basically only chat and audio calling are available in Skype for the web.

It works out of a chrome extension so it is best suited for Chrome books plus no signup/account creation is required and it is free to use application. With simple and easy to use UI and HD quality audio and screen share.

Voice In is a browser extension that helps you be more productive by using dictationto type on Skype and 1000s of other websites. It's simple, easy to use, andcomes packed with features to handle multiple use cases. Best of all, Voice In works everywhere, enabling you to improve your productivity in the apps you use every day and give your hands some rest ?

Note: You need to use the web-based Skype at web.skype.comto use voice typing. Voice In doesn't work in the Skype desktop app.

Install the Voice In - Enable Dictation On Skype extension from the Chrome extension store. A user-friendly setup will have you up and running in 2 minutes. You can use it to dictate on Skype and 1000s of other websites.

Its only skype that does this, steam, (steam games), chrome, etc are all fine its just skype. skype started doing this around 6 months ago (i think), and its really annoying. Its running in the background, but when i click the icon in the taskbar, nothing happens. Im running a older version of skype because the even newer version took longer then the older version. Im on a decent laptop.

Over the past 2 days, my zoom chromebook app (from chrome webstore) says my internet connection is unstable, but I have Fibe to my house and all the tests show very high speed. Up to now there have been no problems with zoom and this app. As a result of this, sound cuts out and video freezes. I wonder if this relates to zoom discontinuing support for the this app? From what I am reading the progressive web app has a lot of probblems.

I have endless connection issues with Zoom when using a Chromebook. Whether I'm using the PWA, or the browser, it's always freezing the video/audio. Zoom on a Chromebook is mostly not an option at this point.

I run the diagnostic tool on Chromebook when on a Zoom call, and CPU usage is at 50%, and plenty of RAM is available, so it's not for a lack of system resources that I can't get a stable connection. I also connect using a fiber network with 200mb download speeds. Additionally, I disable all browser extensions. To no avail. I just can't use a Chromebook to connect to a Zoom meeting.

I find I need to reboot the chromebook before starting a zoom session. Otherwise some user video starts to freeze or goes to black. I can hear people but I can't see them. Rebooting seems to prevent this from happening. The internet connection really isn't the problem. It's the interface that seems to have instability.

Same issue here. I'm using a Pixelbook with Core i7 CPU and 16GB of RAM on a hardwired 1Gbps internet connection, yet I regularly get "internet connection issues". The voice drops out, but the video continues, indicating that it's not a bandwidth problem.

It also doesn't seem to matter whether I'm using the old Chrome app or the new PWA. I don't have any issues using videoconferencing on other apps on ChromeOS, just Zoom. I really wish they'd fix this as the company I work for uses Zoom for all meetings.
