  • michaelteter Michael Teter (@michaelteter) reported

    You know you lie, @Skype , and you have for years. Calling out, 99% of the time I get "Mom is unavailable". No, I can call her via Signal or cell to cell. After 5 years of this, why can you not fix it? (Multiple computers and phones, common problem is Skype.)

  • DJVadim Dj Vadim (@DJVadim) reported

    @Skype i want to speak to a human and not go thro your checklists which do not cover my issues. i cannot log in, u say my email that u email me receipts of payment isnt recognised. but u recognise it to take payments but now i have issues u cant help me.

  • RiedwaanJacobs Ridhwan رضوان Ahmed Jan (@RiedwaanJacobs) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @SkypeSupport Please help... I'm logged into my @Skype account on my PC but can't get in on my smartphone.

  • JimConnolly Jim Connolly (@JimConnolly) reported

    I've been a paying @Skype customer for over a decade. I just noticed a lot of money was missing from my Skype credit. Skype has cancelled the service I've subscribed to for years and years - - then charged me top rate for my calls. Not cool, @Skype

  • Alexxxcoal_ James Thomas (@Alexxxcoal_) reported

    @DJVadim @Skype Do yourself good, these walls are silent unfortunately they lack knowledge of fixing there apps, got mine fixed with the help of @utopiantechh, thanks to them for helping me access my account I have tried so many times to get help but they never respond

  • Gen538 PHILIP🇱🇷 (@Gen538) reported

    @DJVadim @Skype I had a similar hacked problem with my account until thomas_jack02 on Instagram helped me recovered my account

  • cpltalk (((cpltalk))) (@cpltalk) reported

    One of the zillion reasons why I stopped using @Microsoft @skype (other than the simply terrible interface) is their handling of passwords. OSX does not store or retrieve the set password means EVERY SINGLE TIME I use skype I am forced to reset the password #UI #fail

  • lberzins_voices Laila Berzins VO (@lberzins_voices) reported

    @Skype I cant login at all. It keeps asking me to reset password and I do, and still wont let me login. Tried for an hour. Please how do I contact an actual person???

  • AndrewClemence4 Andrew Clemence (@AndrewClemence4) reported

    I have a paid for Skype call forwarding number for my business which is not working and @Skype (aka @Microsoft) do not seem to provide any means of contact for Customer Service or Tech Support so they are just taking my money whilst failing to deliver a service. Suggestions?

  • 9thmilestone Vinay Kumar Tripathi (@9thmilestone) reported

    Is @Skype going the GTalk way! Whether or not the users keep facing the issues, they never upgraded/updated. While on call in Skype, any one can unmute any other person in the meeting anytime without the other person even being aware of. Hello! Where is the PRIVACY?

  • mark22157 mark (@mark22157) reported

    @ghostsultana @Skype Dm @legit_tools ASAP he help me solved my problem when I have similar issue with my locked account. His good and fast.

  • zh_ai Zhai (@zh_ai) reported

    Hey @Skype. I can’t login to my other account. Loop’s going back to Use another account from one screen to the next.

  • JoseErre José Erre (@JoseErre) reported

    @Skype I have an odd situation; recently changed to iOS 14.7 and have not been able to figure out how to access files received via Skype or share them to other apps... 😳 Is it just me? Can you help me? Thanks

  • BrickBoySteve1 BrickBoySteve (@BrickBoySteve1) reported

    I never understand why @Skype you would deactivate my credit just to bring me the trouble to sign in and reactivate it... what's the point?😎#BuildProductUserHate

  • vy2hf Brent Taylor W1PJ & VY2HF 🇨🇦 (@vy2hf) reported

    Watching news channel coverage of Afghanistan situation, with many interviewees in their homes, I ask again: Why does @Webex @Skype and others provide so little bandwidth for sound and, instead, waste it on video. The sound quality of most of these appearances is terrible.

  • Gustav_Fring Gustav Fring (@Gustav_Fring) reported

    @Skype is completely broken. Mouse pointer won’t work most of the time since early today’s was there an update? No issues with computer

  • CBridge_Chief Daragh O Brien (@CBridge_Chief) reported

    @peerside @dermotcasey @Skype It’s not just a tech issue. It’s also an ownership issue.

  • DJVadim Dj Vadim (@DJVadim) reported

  • ShanSpark6 Shan (@ShanSpark6) reported

    @Skype my workplace seem to have an issue with your audio call Skype meetings, is it something on your end or ours?

  • ejames500 💕Elle J 💕#JustSaying (@ejames500) reported

    @Skype absolutely ridiculous that no one available to help me sort this payment. You clearly don't need the business!!!

  • oluwatola_ 6ixPaths™ (@oluwatola_) reported

  • pawan_ahuja747 Pawan Ahuja (@pawan_ahuja747) reported

    @SkypeSupport @Skype No I was not able to get in touch with the live agent ,believe microsoft support has taken down the option of talk to a live agent.

  • davehacks012 cyborg techz (@davehacks012) reported

    @SemioticSub @Skype Kindly send a direct message to @davehacks012 concerning your hacked account. I help to recover all hacked and locked accounts.

  • tweet_alqamar al Qamar (Karl Wester-Ebbinghaus) Ⓥ (@tweet_alqamar) reported

    @windowsinsider @MicrosoftTeams @Skype Thanks! Good news. The issue that if you open it from the taskbar you cannot close the overlay anymore is fixed. Seems a new app update as the 100 release wasn't playing a role here.

  • HasnainSultan6 Hasnain Sultan (@HasnainSultan6) reported

    Problem with skype, no place to reach customer support. #skype @Skype

  • WilliamMyself William Myself Hutchinson (@WilliamMyself) reported

    @Skype if you give me a dollar I can make your Skype for business a lot better. I don’t wanna sound like a ding ****, but an easy to fix part of your code looks like it was written by low IQ children. Easy fix. Hit me up. You’re better than this.

  • jknordlander JK Nordländer-You may call me "Miss Leading". (@jknordlander) reported

    Just a passing note here: Thinking of getting (paying for) @Skype telephone number &/or service? DON'T! DO NOT! Before Microsoft KILLED it, it WAS STELLAR! But, as with EVERYTHING Microsoft touches, it's just another **** in their global thievery.
