How do you set up Skype on Chromebook? null

To the best of my knowledge, Skype is not "supported" on Chrome. There are some work-arounds, but I haven't tried them. If the people with whom you want to communicate have a Google account, Hangouts or Video chat through Gmail works great. I also like the messaging service on Gmail. Kind of like texting, and you can be in contact with multiple people simultaneously.

You can't set up Skype on this computer. You have to use Google hangouts. or wait that Skype comes out with an update for this Chrome book

You can't, Chromebooks cannot use Skype, only Hangouts.

Currently, Chromebooks don't support Skype.

You have to be creative at this point in time. Go to youtube. You will find multiple videos on how to run an android app on the chromebook. Supposedly Microsoft is working on a version for the chromebook...someday.

I had a chrome book, and to be honest. I don't think you can use Skype on a chrome book. Everything with that laptop has to be google based. You can use Google hangouts which is video calling, but you cant use Skype.
