-
A 🤖 (@mkdirydev) reportedSkype 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
-
Lidia R (@lr123456789101) reported@Skype I DMed you 2 days ago and haven't heard back. Please check your messages as I had to set up a Twitter account just to contact your customer service - your live chat doesn't work nor does Facebook. I need help with canceling a subscription.
-
Wulden (@Wulden83) reported@brintonyosaia @TheGrandZero @Skype teams has been around before that though. But yeah, I just noticed that they did shut these down back in 2025.
-
mister magnificent (@iBeLikeWater) reported@SkypeSupport @Skype I was asked to send a direct message a couple of days ago. And I have been chatting with someone. And they stopped replying before my issue was resolved. I'm having issues with the translator. Why do you keep deleting my tweets?
-
CLIVE SHERER (@CliveSherer) reported@skype why dont you have a proper customer help system?
-

-
Pooya (@Pooya78_45) reportedMy 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
-
Onne Vegter (@OnneVegter) reported@Microsoft @Skype Why are you making it impossible to access my skype credit now that skype has been retired? By making it impossible to move or access my credit balance or to get support about this, you are essentially stealing from me. Since you closed down Skype and Skype Manager, you should automatically refund all unused Skype credit to the manager or user who purchased the credit. Why do the richest and biggest tech companies always have the worst customer support? Stop being evil and stop robbing people!

DemmyTheG.O.A.T🐐 (@Demmydaviz) reported@WhatsApp Fix the quality of your Video calls @WhatsApp Let it be High quality like @Skype
-
Dyno8man (@Dyno8man) reported@Microsoft @Skype I'm calling you out on your bullshit. YOUR Skype app is being freshly installed on YOUR computer from YOUR app store, and it's telling me that something is missing, and can't boot the app. Forget about YOUR help center, that doesn't help for ****. **** you.

Winter is rehearsing the shortest day. (Dan) (@ruderedhead) reported.@skype #skype Your product has become too unreliable to use for business. I CAN'T SHUT IT DOWN WITH TASK MANAGER.
