  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 Why can I not use any of @surfshark VPN anymore with your service..? Both work fine on their own.. Please tell me how to amend this. I have tried every location possible on the VPN service and I cannot make any calls whatsoever

  @Skype is a miserable service with abysmal customer service. The worst.

  Been going down a rabbit hole. Anyone know (from experience, not the lies published online) how to cancel your @Skype account and stop them charging you without them threatening to cancel your @Microsoft account? Such a scam and it's almost impossible.

  @Skype @Microsoft Skype isn't loading on windows 10 after the last windows update. I uninstalled the app and then re-installed it and the problem continues

  @pinklfoyd @Skype I once had similar issues but **@SKYSHACK__TOOLS**on instagram fixed my account...he's really good I recommend you try him

  misa (@misa0301) reported 30 minutes ago

  @Skype I can't make call. I have 27 minutes left, but you are asking more money. I think you have problem from the beginning of this month and still not yet solved. There is no support. What's going on?

  EGP (@CruelesEd) reported 32 minutes ago

  @Skype I have an issue on my Android and Skype becoming active without my consent when I am on calls via my regular number paid to my cellphone provider. Is this normal now? #datasecurity #help

  It's Michael, really. (@gmpoet_) reported 33 minutes ago

  @Microsoft should hire me so I can fix whatever bullshit @Skype foreign currency scam is going on. It's ludicrous that I can't delete my Skype account THAT I NEVER USE BECAUSE SKYPE SUCKS without deleting my entire MSFT account (which I mostly never use).

  It is mind-blowing that @Microsoft is standing behind @MicrosoftTeams as an enterprise product. - Calls never connect - Major message synching issues between mobile and desktop - Super buggy Screw your AI offerings, fix basic software first my peeps or give us back @Skype.

  @Aviva_Tabachnik @Skype @Microsoft Did you get any help? I even made another account and they locked that one too!

• 
  Roma.Viaggio (@sweetylem) reported 37 minutes ago

  They never give you a phone number for customer service and they don’t help anyone. The lazy customer service just locks the accounts to avoid doing any work. I was using @Skype paid services & now you won’t get a penny out of me. @Microsoft if you give a damn, @SkypeSupport

  @Microsoft needing support to setup substitute of @Skype manager. The @MicrosoftTeams is totally new to me. Pl help urgently.

  I miss the simplicity of @Skype ‘Heres an easy to use calling package that suits what you want. Here’s a number in the area you want. Away you go’ Tried teams & it was terrible to use.. Not user friendly at all & the amount of hurdles you have to go through is insane

  @HimeMysti @Skype Sadly Skype already shut down on may of 2025… there’s Slack and TeamSpeak but I have no idea how teamspeak works

  I guess it's almost time go to back to @Skype since @discord has been nothing but giving me issues even after several updates. D:

  @Skype AGAIN I AM GETTING NO WHERE! Failed lies from your customer service reps and hanging up in chat after I spend ages explain and typing! I am sick of it!

  Winter is rehearsing the shortest day. (Dan) (@ruderedhead) reported 59 minutes ago

  .@skype #skype Your product has become too unreliable to use for business. I CAN'T SHUT IT DOWN WITH TASK MANAGER. That is a problem when a program is unresponsive. And yours is unresponsive a lot. Made me late to a meeting today. #byeskype
