Everything is extremely simple, you need to download the program, and install the vibe on your computer - and use it in parallel with mobile version for Android / iOS or without.

Or use only a Windows program. I will tell you in detail how to install Viber on a PC in the article.

But using the web version of Viber in a browser will not work. Although alternative messengers (Telegram, What’s Up, or IMO) have had browser (online) applications for a long time, the Viber developers have not yet provided such an opportunity.

Without online use, there are many options, and the article will tell you about all the tricks, subtleties and other usefulness of the computer version of the wonderful messenger. By the way, there is an answer to the question of how to install Viber without a smartphone on a computer. Yes, that's right, without a phone.

Two ways to install Viber on a computer

When you need to install vibe on your PC, and when you are already using the application on your smartphone, this is the easiest way. But when there is no phone or tablet, and you need to install Viber on Windows 7 or another operating system, then in this case we need an Android emulator. We will definitely consider this method a little below.

In both cases, another operating theater is suitable. Microsoft system: The distribution is the same for Windows 8 and other versions. The third option - using the browser version without installation, is not yet possible - but ... Everything in order and in more detail.

Viber from the installation distribution

Is it possible to install this program on Windows, and how exactly to do it, let's take a closer look at this. Installation takes place like a regular program, no more complicated than installing a browser or text editor... The official website of the developer: http://viber.com. You can download Viber on your computer in Russian in one click on the green button Download Viber Desktop.

You can and should download Viber Desktop (PC version) from the official website: viber.com

The version here is always the freshest (and this is important!), Completely Russian, completely free and "clean" from viruses and other malware. In general, this is a good rule for anyone free software: download only from official sites!

The distribution kit of the Viber program for a laptop or PC takes about 65 megabytes. In the summer of 2017, version 6.8.2 is relevant, but the developers regularly polish and supplement their creation, so fresh releases are released regularly. To download Viber for your computer, no additional registrations or paid SMS are required: just the green Download button.

The installer is suitable for all modern versions of Windows: from "Seven" to "Ten", including Windows 8. Yes, there is support for Windows XP as well. The bit depth of the operating system is not important, the program is 32-bit, and therefore works great both in the native x86 environment and in more modern 64-bit versions of the OS.

The installation process will not raise any questions. Click on the downloaded file. Actually, just enough accept the License Terms, and click on "Install"- let it go English the installation does not bother you. The program for a computer in Russian - and it will become so immediately after installation. Everything: the application is installed.

Initial installation window: agree to the terms of use, and - "Installation".

We are waiting for the completion of the process of copying the program files.

File copying process

Viber installation completed successfully!

Now about the first launch of the installed application. The program starts automatically after installation on a PC.

Note: Do you have Viber on your mobile phone? Yes button. And if there is no vibe on the phone, skip to the next section of the article.

The first launch of the Viber program on a PC.

By clicking on the YES button, the program window will prompt you to enter the number mobile phone, after which it will issue a black and white QR code on the screen of a computer or laptop and ask you to open Viber on your mobile phone.

We look at the phone, the mobile application will independently capture the QR code - and thereby confirm the legality and safety of using your account both on a computer and on a mobile phone at the same time.

At the initial launch of the PC version, the Viber mobile application looks for a QR code on the computer screen.

Attention! There is a special version of the client for Windows 10. This is the so-called modern application, which is intended exclusively for the most modern Microsoft operating system.

Users who downloaded this client instead of a regular program are not advised to use it. We recommend using the classic Windows program, the Desktop version.

That's all, the program is completely ready to use. Soon, all contacts from the phone will be loaded here, then - conversations with them, after - their avatars. The process can take up to several hours - this is normal. So don't be alarmed.

How to install Viber on a computer without a smartphone

This method is also working, but with the help of an Android OS emulator! It's non-trivial, but not too much difficult decision... The question of how to install Viber on a computer without a SIM card and a mobile phone will be solved by programs that emulate a real (well, almost real) mobile OS inside Windows.

Install the emulator. Be sure to check for the following checkboxes.

After installation, you need to log into your google account, open shop Google play, and find the Viber app, and click on it to proceed to the installation process.

After launching the Viber application on your computer, you need to go through a few more steps to activate it. Click Continue

Enter your phone number, this is required for activation new registration in the vibe.

Note! The activation code comes only to phone numbers that have not yet been registered. If you have ever used a vibe on your phone, then in your case the vibe should be on the phone and you will need to read the QR code. I described it above.

The number will call you, answer it, after which you will receive an SMS message with the activation code. Enter it and the application window will open.

Download and install Viber from apk file

You can also install in a slightly different way, if you do not have a Google profile, or just don’t want to bother with accounts and mail, then it doesn’t matter, you can install Viber from the apk file, which you can download below from the link.

Going into the android emulator, click on the button on the left APK as shown in the picture below, and select the downloaded apk file viber, the installation starts.

When you might need this unusual solution:

if you don't have a modern smartphone at hand;
if you want to use another account that is not associated with your personal number;
if the SIM card registered in the Viber service is unavailable.

Bluestacks program is free and high quality Russified. The distribution takes more than 300 megabytes, but not only the messenger, but also any others will be at hand mobile applications for Android - games, tools, etc.

If you install Viber on a computer in this way, then the system considers that you are communicating from a mobile phone, and not from a PC. But the work takes place precisely on a personal computer - which is what we needed to do.

Using the web version without installing on a PC

In the case of Viber, this is not yet possible. Yes, you can go to the site in your profile and, for example, replenish the balance, for conversations and calls to cell phones, but no more.

The development team has not yet implemented such a feature in their service, unlike other similar IM applications.

At using Windows, you will have to install Viber on a laptop or desktop computer, without options with a web client.

Is it possible for the web Viber to appear in the future? Probably yes. Online correspondence without installation is popular, especially among experienced users.

To ignore such a need is to lose some of the clientele.

In addition, browser makers are increasingly collaborating with their programming art peers among IM developers.

Freshest, 46th version Opera browser acquired a separate side panel, which is designed specifically for online versions of popular instant messengers.

There is also enough space for the cherished purple-and-white icon with the letter "V". A similar "side" solution is present in Vivaldi. Looking forward to Viber's online client?

Opera's stylish Sidebar already includes the Facebook Messenger, What’s Up, and Telegram web clients. I would like, really want to see the familiar purple icon here.

Let's summarize

Viber is convenient for its "ubiquity" - or, to use professional computer language, cross-platform.

Applications were released not only for mobile operating systems, including outdated and unpopular ones (even Windows 10 Mobile has a separate client), but also for macOS and Linux.

Viber for Windows 7 was one of the first desktop clients.

Kind and comfortable communication in your favorite IM messenger!

Regardless of the device used to access the resources of the Global Network, millions of people every day transmit a huge number of messages and files, as well as make audio and video calls using the Viber service. The popularity of the messenger is not least due to its cross-platform, that is, the ability to operate in the environment of various mobile and desktop operating systems... Below we will consider how to install Viber on a computer or laptop running Windows.

Most users start using the instant messenger in question by installing their smartphone Viber client application for Android or iOS. It should be noted that the service is positioned by its creators precisely as a tool for communication and exchange of information, primarily between mobile users... At the same time, Viber for Windows is characterized by a number of indisputable advantages and is sometimes an indispensable tool, especially when it is necessary to transfer large amounts of data. There are several ways to get the desktop version of the messenger on your PC or laptop.

Method 1: Without a smartphone

The main obstacle when installing Viber on a computer or laptop is the actual lack of autonomy of the Windows version of the service client application. That is, without a telephone operating under Android or iOS, you can install the program on a PC, but you will not be able to activate your Viber account and log in to the system to gain access to the service's capabilities using the methods offered by the developers. However, this obstacle is surmountable, and quite easily.

Since the creators of Viber require a mobile device running Android or iOS to register with their own service, we will provide the system with such a device, only a virtual one. This possibility is feasible using one of the Android emulators- applications whose main function is to create a virtual mobile device in the Windows environment. Choosing an emulator to achieve the main goal - activation account Viber PC is not a matter of principle, any will do.

As an example, consider the implementation of the installation of the messenger through the popular and simple solution - Andy.

Download the Android emulator distribution kit from the review article on our website, launch the installer.
To download and install Viber in the emulator environment, you need a Google account. Despite the fact that Andy allows you to create it with your own means, it is recommended to register an account in advance using a simple instruction:
Launch the Android emulator and open the Play Market by clicking on the application icon in Andy's window.
We log into the account using the data of the already created Google account, specifying the email address,

and then the password.
Enter the request in the Play Market search field "Viber" and click the first displayed result in the list - "Viber: Calls and Messages".
On the application page, click "Install".
We are waiting for the end of the download and installation of Viber in Andy's environment

and press "Open".
Click "Proceed" in the window "Welcome".
Enter the phone number to which you will receive an SMS message containing the activation code. In advance, you may need to select the country in which the mobile identifier is registered.
Push the button "Proceed", check the correctness of the entered data and click "Yes" in the request that appears.
We are waiting for the receipt of an SMS with an access code and enter a secret combination of numbers

in the appropriate field.
If everything is done correctly, the account in Viber will be automatically activated, and we will have access to all the functions of the system. Initially - to personalize your account,

and then to the main features of the service.

At this stage, the installation of Viber in the computer can be considered complete - in principle, the messenger can be used, but it will have to be launched in the Andy window. It is worth noting that such a solution, due to the exactingness of emulators to the system resources of the computer, is not the best, moreover, it cannot be called the most convenient.

Therefore, after following the above instructions, it is recommended to install a full-fledged Windows version of Viber, following the instructions "Method 3: Official site" set out below in the article. You can activate an account in the service through the Android emulator, the procedure is also described in the description of the method for installing Viber from the official resource. There will be practically no obstacles to authorization in the messenger now, because we have an "Android device" in our arsenal, despite the fact that it is virtual, but capable of performing this task.

Method 2: Windows Store

Go to the Viber desktop installation page in the Store Windows applications 10. There are two ways to go here:
By the way, you can do without typing search query by simply scrolling down the Store homepage and finding "Viber" In chapter "Most popular"... In any case, at the time of the creation of this material, the tool occupies an honorable place among the most frequently downloaded applications from the Windows 10 Store.
Push the button "Receive" on Viber's page Microsoft Store.
We are waiting for the download of the components, and then the installation of the application. The system carries out all the necessary actions without user intervention.
We initiate the launch of the installed messenger by clicking the button "Run".
At this stage, we can state that Viber is installed on a computer or laptop and is almost ready for use.

Method 3: Official site

And finally, the easiest way to get the desktop version of Viber, regardless of Windows versions and the presence or absence of a smartphone is the use of the distribution kit obtained from the official website of the developer.

At the end of the installation of Viber for Windows, a window will automatically open "Welcome" with a question about the presence of an installed messenger in the smartphone. Click "Yes".
Enter the phone number, which is an identifier in the service, and click "Proceed".
We scan with the phone that appeared in the window "Activation" QR code.

If the smartphone is absent, and the account was activated using the emulator according to the instructions "Method 1: Without a smartphone" suggested above in this article, do the following:
- In the Viber for Windows window containing the QR code, click the link "My camera does not work. What to do?".
- In the window containing the secret identification key, click "Copy".
- Go to the Android emulator window and run "Browser" in his midst.
- Push left button mouse positioning the pointing device in address bar, and hold it until the contents of the field are selected. After the key is released, a list of possible actions appears.
  
  Click "Insert" and then click "Enter" to follow the link.
- The previously activated Viber will automatically open in the emulator with a request to link another device to an account in the service.
  
  Setting a mark in the checkbox "I want to activate Viber on an additional device" and press "Allow".
We pass to the Viber window for the computer - an inscription confirming the success of the identification ID appeared "Ready!"... Push the button "Open Viber".
After data synchronization, which will be carried out by the system automatically, the desktop version of one of the most popular instant messengers is ready to work!
