    @WilfSplodNokit @Angua3Carrot @Skype I submitted feedback and they offered me an article to check. Trouble-shooting consisted of check internet connection, check you're signed in, check notification settings, restart skype. 🙄I've done all that, keyboard navigation definitely broken.

  • laysauchoa laysa 🐍 (@laysauchoa) reported

    @Skype This happens only with Brazilian numbers (mobile). I have tried with @Skype assistant and he had the same issues. So it is reproducible.

  • danielrock Daniel Rock (@danielrock) reported

    Hey @replyall here’s an interesting case for super tech support: Microsoft’s fraud management for @Skype appears to be fully automated. This makes account recovery exceedingly difficult. I wonder to what extent this is a strategic choice. Please help @danielascur!

  • chrisboardoo Chris B. (@chrisboardoo) reported

    @Skype can you please fix the continuous connection lags every 2 min. Thx

  • andrejonker Andre 🐦 (@andrejonker) reported

    I have been battling to get my paid for @Skype number fixed for so long, it is almost time for a renewal. @SkypeSupport, refusing to refund me for failing to deliver the service I paid for, because “it was bought and paid for more than 90 days ago”, violates my statutory rights.

  • CodersaurusX Codersaurus X (@CodersaurusX) reported

    @skype #skype your call facility is down. Please confirm.

  • GalaxyPuppet GalaxyPuppet (@GalaxyPuppet) reported

    @discord BTW, if you DO want the file that breaks your platform, let me know. It's a shame that you're so far ahead of @Skype with communities, as their customer service is streets ahead of yours

  • WilfSplodNokit Richie (@WilfSplodNokit) reported

    @JustinMac_84 I've just had to check for a latest version because my @Skype still seems to be accessible. I'm not having an issue but have heard a few people say they're struggling with keyboard navigation. I assume you've tried reloading both Skype and the screen reader?

  • kevintweeting 𝙠𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙣 (@kevintweeting) reported

    @SkypeSupport @Skype also noticed I'm unable to quit the app, unless I force quit it on my Macbook Air. I even tried deleting the app and reinstalling it again, but the same issue arises. Help? Thanks.

  • yougetrosche @sexy.coquine (@yougetrosche) reported

    @JesseConStudio @Skype I got sick and tired of support not attending to me 🤮🤮..probably they’ve got too many people to attend to ..But all thanks to @AgentFemiTv they helped me resolve my banned account issue they are wonderful…

    @JustinMac_84 Are you another one who had their @Skype broken by that stupid company who doesn't understand access for screen reader users?

  • JoJo73278562 JoJo (@JoJo73278562) reported

    @Skype I’ve never experienced such a painfully awful live chat with your ‘customer service’ team. 40 mins of mostly waiting for replies, all of which were useless and unhelpful. In the end I had to just give up. Thanks for wasting my time #customerservice #thanksfornothing
