    @Skype @SkypeSupport The recent updates did nothing to help my case. Using Windows 7, btw. When I screenshare the student sees nothing and my screen flickers like crazy. I now use Skype to send links to @Zoom meetings. Thank you.

    Almost 10 years have passed since the acquisition of @Skype; and now after two countries, three teams and seemingly infinite re-orgs today was my last day at @microsoft. Time for a lie down... 😴

    @Skype My Skype account is not working. I am not able to log-in. All my files are in the OneDrive Cloud and there is money on my Skype account. I am not able to get into the Skype to make calls, You do not have a contact centre. I need access to my files. Help. Thanks.

    @Skype when are you going to crack down on the rampant scammers using your service to dupe people out of money.

  • Y6y___ John (@Y6y___) reported

    @Skype Your response is terrible surely you can submit it so muy complaint against your behaviour and lack of giving a **** stands

  • 71_ahmad_saleh Ahmed Saleh BD (@71_ahmad_saleh) reported

    Hey @Microsoft, what's the problem with @Android? Why & why @Skype are to slow and disturbing in androids?

  • chandru_kannada chandrashekar (@chandru_kannada) reported

    Hello @Skype what's the problem with recharge in your website? I'm trying reactivate my number and to recharge and it's getting declined but amount also getting deducted from my account.. what's going on? What's the issue? Kindly reply ASAP

  • evamoosart E. Römer (@evamoosart) reported

    @Skype I keep getting a glitch when I take screenshots while videocalling on the application. After I hit ctrl+s, I get taken out of the call and can't get back to it. I still get audio, though. The only way to "fix" it is to hang up. Any idea what might be happening?

  • daxen818 Alver the Wanderer (@daxen818) reported

    @Skype your famous noise when a call connects. Your service is being utilized to scam people. Being able to call people and make your number look like another shouldn't be legal. This makes duping people easier. They are starting make their numbers looks like official numbers.

  • heatherfinchaga Heather Finch (@heatherfinchaga) reported

    @skype @SkypeSupport appears to be down. Down detector confirming this for many users. I cannot call out for the last 15 minutes. I’m checking to see an estimated time of fix.

  • RSJM5 RSJM (@RSJM5) reported

    @Skype why am I getting charged for a subscription that it says has no cost and why can't I find any way of talking to a human being to resolve the issue

  • raydelto Raydelto Hernandez (@raydelto) reported

    @amhedH I've never experienced any issues with @Skype as a voip provider. In my experience it's not only cheaper than traditional carriers but the quality is significantly superior.

  • RandomRud Random Rud (@RandomRud) reported

    Hi @skype something has broken in NDI integration, we used to be able to see our local camera as NDI @NewTekInc source but no longer. It has broken our streaming setup, now have to route internally CAM->OBS->NDI->NDI-Webcam->Skype instead of CAM->Skype->OBS. a lot of CPU capacity

  • Y6y___ John (@Y6y___) reported

    @satyanadella @MicrosoftHelps hey sorry for bothering you you all but need your help since @Skype just brushed this off, my friend has epilepsy and the blue frame added to people talking in Skype group chats is affecting her. Basically made it unusable and dangerous for her

  • Midzi89 TheC🅡yⓟtoSheikh (@Midzi89) reported

    @BluevetTv @smugmugcrypto @Skype Next time we understand to check if the contract itself is public to see if there are any issues. Like you mentioned, lesson learnt. Hope it was not too painful

  • 1BuzyDee BuzyDee (@1BuzyDee) reported

    @Skype None of the suggestions work. To whim do I explain what the issue is, please? There is nobody on the link to speak to. Thanks.

  • jacobwyn29 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗯 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🙏 🇺🇦 (@jacobwyn29) reported

    @Skype have you given up on your video calling service? It is absolutely pathetic! People are calling me, I try answering, but they continue to ring, if I'm lucky. Otherwise, it just says 'you have a missed call'! Please sort it out! #Windows10

  • mdgrkb mdgrkb (@mdgrkb) reported

    @Skype Hi. I'm pretty concerned about Skype chat messages not being received reliably. This a Skype specific issue. I have had a remote computer screen displayed and chatted via Skype and some messages were NOT being received on the other end, even with stable internet connection

  • jacobwyn29 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗯 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🙏 🇺🇦 (@jacobwyn29) reported

    @Skype Hi. Yes, this problem is still happening. It is hot or miss whether I'm able to answer the call.

  • maelfyn Joe Leonard 🇺🇸 (@maelfyn) reported

    @kimKBaltimore @Skype I am forced to use it at work. It's terrible. I stick to Zoom or Discord.

  • nameiznaveeen Mynameiznaveen (@nameiznaveeen) reported
