Microsoft recently posted 3 employees for the "Skype on Browser" group (Skype for Browsers).

The mission of future employees will be "to help Microsoft deploy Skype on the network". Two of these three positions require candidates to have "HTML5 user interface creation experience".

The above employment information is posted on the Microsoft website from March 22 to April 14. Two new employees will work in the London office (UK), the third employee working in Prague (Prague - Czech Republic).

The ability to create HTML5 video chat applications and WebRTC protocols has been mentioned by Google and Mozilla. Google is a developer of Chrome browser and Mozilla is a Firefox browser developer. Firefox trial version supporting WebRTC was introduced by Mozilla in early April 2012.

Skype Internet phone service is owned by Microsoft. The company bought Skype in 2011 for $ 8.5 billion.

So far, to communicate on Skype, users have to install the software (client) on a computer or mobile device. Social network Facebook has integrated Skype, but requires a special add-on.
