How to get hotmail messenger

Hotmail Messenger is no longer available as a standalone application. In 2013, Microsoft discontinued the Hotmail Messenger service and replaced it with Skype, which is a video conferencing and instant messaging platform.

However, you can still access Skype, which offers many of the same features as Hotmail Messenger, including instant messaging, voice and video calls, and file sharing. Here's how to get Skype:

Method 1: Download and Install Skype

  2. Choose the version of Skype that's right for you (Windows, Mac, or mobile).
  3. Follow the installation instructions to install Skype on your device.
  4. Launch Skype and sign in with your Microsoft account (if you have one) or create a new account.

Method 2: Access Skype from Outlook.com

  1. Go to Outlook.com (www.outlook.com) and sign in with your Microsoft account.
  2. Click on the "Skype" button at the top of the page.
  3. You'll be taken to the Skype website, where you can sign in or create a new account.
  4. Once you're signed in, you can start chatting with friends and family, make voice and video calls, and more.

Method 3: Use the Skype App on Your Mobile Device

  1. If you have a mobile device (smartphone or tablet), you can download the Skype app from the App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices).
