Can You Use Two Viber Accounts on One Computer? What Viber Desktop Allows

Can you use two Viber accounts on one computer? #

Not with the desktop app as Viber documents it. According to Viber's Help Center (read 3 October 2026), Viber Desktop works as a secondary device linked to the one Viber account on your phone, and the desktop pages describe no way to add a second account to the same app. Viber's Terms of Service also list creating multiple accounts among the actions users may not take, which the rules guide walks through.

What the Help Center does describe is one account used on several devices. If two people need Viber on one computer, each uses their own account on their own phone. Use only accounts you own or are authorised to manage, and follow Viber's rules.

Which situation are you in? #

How Viber Desktop links to your account #

Viber's download page says Viber for Desktop is synced to your mobile account and that you need an active Viber account on your phone to activate it. The Help Center's supported-platforms page lists Windows 10 (64-bit, version 1607 or newer) and Windows 11, macOS 11 (Big Sur) and later, and 64-bit Fedora and Ubuntu, with limited updates and support on Linux. Those are installed apps; neither page lists a browser version.

The desktop set-up page gives these steps:

1. Install the latest Viber on your phone, and make sure the phone and the computer both have a stable internet connection.
2. Download Viber for desktop from the Viber download page and install it.
3. On the phone, open Viber, tap More, tap the QR icon and scan the code shown on the computer.
4. Approve the activation when the phone's operating system and Viber ask.
5. Tap Sync on the phone to start syncing.

What the device limits mean #

The tablet set-up page explains primary and secondary devices. Every device linked to an account is one or the other, and an account has one primary device and an unlimited number of secondary devices.

Deactivating Viber on the primary device also deactivates the secondary devices and shuts the account down, and the primary device can deactivate the others remotely. The page gives no separate count for computers. To see what is linked, open More, Settings, Account and Desktop and tablets on your phone.

What happens when you try to combine or swap accounts #

The Help Center spells out several consequences:

• Two numbers are two accounts. Viber says two accounts with different phone numbers can't be merged. If you change your number to one that already has a Viber account, that other account is overridden and deactivated, and purchases made under it, such as Viber Out plans, are lost.
• Dual-SIM phones. On a phone with several SIM cards, the Help Center says not to tap Change to SIM number, because your accounts will override one another.
• Moving a computer to another account. The documented route is to deactivate Viber on the desktop and link it again from the other phone. Deactivating logs you out and deletes the app's data, including the media download folder. Linking again only brings back what is on the phone, and media received more than 14 days before reactivation may be lost.

Is there a Viber for the browser? #

Google suggests searches such as "viber desktop web". The download page and the supported-platforms page list apps for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux and mention no browser version, so the usual browser-tab approach to a second account is not something Viber describes. It also means browser profiles (see what a browser profile is) do not separate Viber Desktop accounts. What they can do for Viber's web-based tools is covered in the browser-profiles guide.

Official options when one account is not enough #

• One account, several devices. Phone, tablet and computers share the account, and the phone stays the primary device.
• A separate account per person. Each person uses their own phone number and links their own computer.
• Communities and Channels with admins. Several admins can run one Community or Channel from phone or desktop, and a superadmin controls the roles. See the business guide.
• A small business account. Each phone number registered on Viber can have only one, and it can be created and edited only on the phone.

If Viber Desktop will not install or link #

• The QR scanner is not working. The Help Center suggests the phone's default Camera app (front or back camera) or a different QR app.
• No QR screen after installing. Required ports may be closed. Viber lists 80, 443, 4244, 5242, 5243 and 7985, for both TCP and UDP, and explains how to allow the app through the firewall.
• Windows will not run the installer. The Help Center suggests the 32-bit build, and, for an error that EVR.dll was not found, the Media Feature Pack for Windows 10.
• It worked, then signed you out. See why Viber Desktop logs you out.

Where ADSSPEED fits #

ADSSPEED is a desktop app for Windows and macOS that manages many browser profiles. Viber Desktop is not a browser, so ADSSPEED does not add accounts to it, and it does not change what Viber's Terms allow. It fits the browser-based side of Viber work, such as an agency's sign-ins for several advertisers: each profile keeps its own cookies, local data and browser settings, so those sign-ins stay signed in side by side without signing each other out, and profile data stays on your own computer. Use it only with accounts you own or are authorised to manage, and follow Viber's rules. ADSSPEED is not affiliated with Viber.
