Default Using laptop as audio input

I have my M Track QUAD with 4 microphones inputted and 4 tracks on the file in Reaper. The interface is connected to my desktop for recording and mixing in reaper.

If I wanted to use my laptop to take a skype call and connect it to the QUAD... can I do that? Then use that audio as another track in the file in Reaper? Or just take the skype call on the desktop?

Not even sure theres another connection on the QUAD for laptop. If not, any way you guys can think to set this up? Ive got my laptop, desktop, QUAD interface, and Reaper. If you know a way to rig it, Id love to know.

Thanks for any help

You can't really share the interface with 2 computers simultaneously.

Taking the call on the desktop seems like the best solution.....if you need to route that into Reaper I think you probably need a third party software like Voicemeeter.

Default Skype functionality

CAn skype function as a third party? Setup skype to take the call on desktop, then funnel that in to REaper? Can a track be setup to receive the skype audio?

Then send the audio from skype to headphone jack? So everyone can listen to skype call?

Sorry i have no real vocabulary here... im a massive noob.
