  @skype do you keep deleting my tweets? Why is the translator not working for me but it's working for the other person? All settings are correct. It's translating in the notifications but not in the chat itself

  @skype Is anyone else having trouble with these thieves? Confuse you over subscriptions vs. auto renew then keep taking money even though auto-renew is not enabled.

• 
  Jack Epner (@GenLeading) reported 8 minutes ago

  @Skype Can you PLEASE resolve a bug that's been posted about for years on MS Support forums where Skype kills all other audio when using bluetooth headsets? There are threads closed out from a year ago, yet the issue persists, and many have reported it.

  Skype web calling isn't working, and I still have active credits. This feels like a scam. I keep getting a "please register your Skype ID" error. Please fix your ****. @Skype @MicrosoftTeams

  .@Zoom @Skype @Webex how have none of y’all figured out a way to eliminate the awkward lag when your service is used for tv interviews???

  @Skype You make it impossible to speak to a human support member of staff. All I get is to post questions in the community. I need someone from Skype to help me!

  Cancelled my @ViberHelp account now, as I couldn’t let this error carry on. Fortunately @Skype have a free trial for a month, so giving them a go. Hard to accept that Viber do this to me after being a loyal customer for 10 years.

  Have any Christian ministries had trouble with @Skype or @SkypeSupport blocking access to their Skype or @Microsoft account repeatedly? We use a SkypeOut number for our ministry overseas and have been repeatedly blocked without explanation or apology.

  When your job uses both @Skype and @MicrosoftTeams it's a lot like when you change cable companies and the new company literally rips out any of the old existing connections just to make the other company's life hell if they ever have to hook up service again. #GetYourOwnSandbox

  I use @Skype subscriptions for talking to my family in Iran. Yesterday, Skype suspended my account because of using their service and told me I should create a new account, rest of my current package is gone and they even won't refund the package. Amazing service and support!!!

  @Skype I can't access my account because the reset password code isn't being sent to my email. Idk why you make it so hard to speak to a rep. I can't prove my account because I don't have any contacts saved. I only used it for one purpose. Please help me access my account.

  My account has been blocked for no reason while I have spent 40 pounds on my subscription. As Skype support is worst in the world I had no any other ways except informing you on twitter Please help with my issue @Skype

  @Skype @Deepakbayofads My account is locked too for no reason. The chat kept me waiting forever and I never got to “chat”.You have a terrible new team at Skype. I use my account to call my elderly mother. She doesn’t have internet access and you cut off my only communication route. Brutal brutal brutal

  @Skype I have the translator turned on and it's only working for the other person. The notifications appear in English but the actual conversation is showing the original language. How do I fix this?

  Mar 🐙 (@masc_simp) reported 45 minutes ago

  For over a month now when I Skype with my gf she can see herself in the camera window but not me, same for me. Any other app we use has no camera issue. But we love Skype. We reset the app, made new accounts, same issue. Is this happening to anyone else? @Skype care to chime in?

  @Skype I paid for a Microsoft teams service so I could keep my Skype number, but then wasn't able to use it because I am not a business owner. I've been charged for 5 months and Microsoft has now refused my request for a refund. Is this really how Microsoft treats its users?

  Hey @Skype your chat feature for tech support counts down my position in queue, then sits on “1” forever. How can I get support through chat? I didn’t switch focus to other windows. Wasted a lot of time on this.
