    PRO TIP - Do NOT use @Skype for international calls. It's a totally unreliable service that constantly fails mid-call. #skype #Marketing

    @SkypeSupport @Skype Hello! I can’t share my skype profile, it stays on a loading loop. I’ve read this is a known issue. Is there another way to get my skype profile link? Thanks

  • MarcoInEnglish Marco Zehe (@MarcoInEnglish) reported

    @Skype @MSFTEnable Primarily, when returning to the Skype window, on Windows I often find that screen readers lose access to all window content. I have to shut down the system tray icon and relaunch Skype several times per day to get it back. 2/x

  • CaboverPeter Cabover Pete (@CaboverPeter) reported

    @E_CoffeeCocoa2 @Skype @Viber And of course the Windows tech media never mentions crucial issues like these, and care more about rounded corners and icons.

  • elenamagrina Elena Magrina (@elenamagrina) reported

    @Skype You've logged me out of my account yet you keep charging me a subscription every month. I've tried speaking to an agent but its impossible. I'll raise a dispute with my bank asap unless you can help me log back in please

  • the_HoliDaze Derek Freal (@the_HoliDaze) reported

    @SANTASUNG @Skype That sucks. How do you put up with it? I was forced to deactivate my number because every call / text was ringing both computers, my phone and tablet. Not buying another number from @Skype (no guarantee it'll be "clean") and they won't issue a refund either, so I'm pretty upset

  • SANTASUNG NATACHA L.K. (@SANTASUNG) reported

    @the_HoliDaze @Skype Terrible,right? It’s happened on my cell too. Everyday spam calling keep to call to me

  • SuzySuz01097090 Suzy Suzy (@SuzySuz01097090) reported

    @Skype please reply, want to cancel your non-support service, STOP BILLING ME, I DON'T USE SKYPE.

  • falconhamada_90 Falcon Hamada 🇮🇶 (@falconhamada_90) reported

    @MSAUedu The thing is that I called someone, after the line was opened by the person I actually called, here the tone of the call should stop, as in the call in (mobile phone) or (landline phone), but the problem always recurs, I hope that It is resolved in the future @Skype @Microsoft

  • nedlowe82 Ned Lowe (@nedlowe82) reported

    After not needing to login to @Skype for a little while, I had forgotten the absolute hell that @Microsoft has created with their labyrinthine identity management system. That's it - I'm done with Skype forever. A pity.

  • jacobwyn2 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 𝕁𝕒𝕔𝕠𝕓 (@jacobwyn2) reported

    @Skype what is the point in sending feedback on each call that is made? Nothing changes and the same problems are present every single time! #poorquality #lacking

  • AmorinaCarlton Amorina Carlton (@AmorinaCarlton) reported

    Guys, Help!! I need to know, for research purposes (and for once @Google results are failing me 😭😭😭😭_) Does anyone know if @skype was free for people to use (like basically just a video call to another person on it) in 2004ish? #writerslife #Important #questions

  • qualityinnjuan QualityInnJ (@qualityinnjuan) reported

    @Skype how many times do i have to change my password to change my password? JFC let me login.

  • crab_112 JJBA HATER (@crab_112) reported

    @Skype you ever gonna fix the UMISD option in settings? doesn’t work for some reason, i’ve tried everything to fix it and it won’t work

  • MGTrolls MGT (@MGTrolls) reported

    @discord is down (again) back to @Skype and @teamspeak

  • EljonEljon Thomas Eljon 🤘🏳️‍🌈 ✖️Box (@EljonEljon) reported

    I can see @MicrosoftTeams is repeating the same mistakes as @Skype chat experience is just terrible and simply doesn't work. WhatsApp it is 😕

  • MollyEMcCluskey Molly McCluskey (@MollyEMcCluskey) reported

    I've been locked out of my @Microsoft / @Skype account with what appears to be a hack. The "support" function is an endless loop of webpages that go nowhere and keep telling me to log in to get help. Anyone have any suggestions?

  • merlano17 Merlano Trevis (@merlano17) reported

    @SkypeSupport @SkypeSupport @Skype Are the services down? not able to call any number, its just giving a engaged tune for any number i try

  • manishkhadgi Maniche Khadgi (@manishkhadgi) reported

    @Skype @SkypeSupport , i am not able to login to my skype after window 10 clean

  • STLPRGreg Greg Munteanu (@STLPRGreg) reported

    @questlove @Skype A while back, eJamming was trying to do that. It had problems but still cool. Now some folks from there went to @jamkazam and are continuing the mission. I hope they succeed because it would be really nice to jam with my old friends who live in other states.

  • liarpoliticians Liarpoliticians, UK has rogue Parliament+police (@liarpoliticians) reported

    Hey @Skype @SkypeSupport, why does your Android and Apple app insert a question mark "?" upside down for the English (UK) keyboard, and why does English (UK) PC keyboard default to $ on the top row not £. Too hard for you? #Skype

  • nk1_makhele ½Man-½Amazing (@nk1_makhele) reported

    Something is wrong with @Skype system. I have been unable to login for the past two days

  • 52Dragon EvanS (@52Dragon) reported

    Has anyone else out there had problems cancelling their Skype @skype subscription?

  • nedlowe82 Ned Lowe (@nedlowe82) reported

    @amitpgupta @Skype @Microsoft It’s completely out of control. Every time you login it starts generating new Skype IDs and nothing is linked. Last time I got my money transferred to a single account, this time I can’t be bothered.
