Using Skype without downloading Skype program

Is there a way to use skype without downloading the skype program onto a computer?  Currently I have a work computer that will not allow me to download software/programs. I do have a Skype acct.

You can use

 

https://imo.im

 

Another alternative is to use a portable Skype installation on a USB memory stick.

This, of course, only if Skype traffic is not blocked on the network.

Re: Using Skype without downloading Skype program

Thank you for the IMO.im link. Does ANYONE (pleeeze!) have the Skype link so that I can return to making regular Skype call. I can easily access my account & top it up etc., but for Love nor Money can I find 'MY' Skype page.
Please help :*-(

As mentioned earlier in this thread, the only way you can make Skype calls without installing the Skype program is to use a "portable" installation on a USB thumbdrive.  See this link for how to create a portable:
