    @Skype hey I have a really simple question but I can't find any solution. So how do I sort my contacts in Skype? Like I want to make friend list, work list etc. But NOT group chats. Every tutorial I looked for explains how to create group chats which is not what I need. Any help?

    @Skype Hi, I can’t login to my account. It was working fine and all of sudden it says account is not available. Can u plz assist?

  • marknoble //.// (@marknoble) reported

    @luiscarrascob @Skype @Microsoft I don't use PSTN *at all* so it irritates me that I have to pay for PSTN service via Skype so that 99.999% of the calls I get can be spam calls.

  • MattBessell Matt (@MattBessell) reported

    Dear @Skype, My friends and I are trying to play a virtual game night together and your app keeps kicking us out of our call. Why is this happening? Do you hate social distancing? Please help.

  • RobertCReece The Triune God 🙏 Is Our Only Hope #Theonomist Rob (@RobertCReece) reported

    @skype what the hell is wrong with your systems? I keep getting calls from a BLOCKED id fgghfggh84. I see this has been an issue since 2017?!?!?!?!? This is some girl who doesn't speak, just types on screen asking me to turn on my camera. Do I have to get a lawyer involved?

  • carter_stanley Carter Stanley (@carter_stanley) reported from Tampa, Florida

    .@Skype “The participant list is now current.” “You might not have the latest participant list because the server is down.” Why have I been getting these messages every time I go to communicate with a group? Going on a few weeks now.

  • 99Centttt 99 Cent Economics (@99Centttt) reported

    I really have no issues with #Windows11 and really don’t mind them replacing @Skype with @Microsoft teams just update your firmware first and it will update fine.

  • _mainack Mainack Mondal (@_mainack) reported

    Also losing access to this gmail account made me lose account to my skype which is a BIG problem---many academic connections are on Skype and now I lost contact. So I am really hoping someone from @Microsoft @Skype can help. I can give more info about the account if needed.

  • Nelgumford Nelgumford (@Nelgumford) reported

    @Skype Do you offer a service where I could port an existing UK BT landline number over to your service and have it ring on a physical VOIP phone, plugged into my broadband router ?

  • ScreenwriterM MarkusMcLaughlin (@ScreenwriterM) reported

    RT @skype Why did I get charged for a service I don't use???

  • Lorddami Damoooo (@Lorddami) reported

    Since @WhatsApp is down.... let me call my SO on @Skype. 🤔 How to let her know to login though.... that's the dilemma.

  • FranzGsottbauer Franz Gsottbauer 🇦🇹 (@FranzGsottbauer) reported

    @Skype This is all happening far too late. Why have they broken Skype for the last few years? Now they are trying to save Skype at the last second. Users have been telling them for years what is wrong. It is too late. All my Skype contacts are already somewhere else.

  • Sierrasimy Simone Scott-Sawyer (@Sierrasimy) reported

    @Skype The issue with my hacked account still remains unresolved, can anyone help??

  • tufre80 ft (@tufre80) reported

    I thought @Skype had been swallowed by its brother Teams and Zoom. Well, not yet. We had trouble with Zoom, and tried Skpe. Voilà! The thing is still alive. Screen-sharing and all. Adapt, or die.

  • Caro_Branders Carolina (@Caro_Branders) reported

    @Skype hi i am waiting for a sms through my Skype number and it’s not working and it has worked in the past what’s going on How do I fix this?

  • andrejonker Andre 🐦 (@andrejonker) reported

    A @Skype number I had for years stopped working. #Microsoft will not refund it, since I paid for it “too long ago”. Last I check, this is not a legal reason for failing to provide a service or a refund in the #UK. Time to say goodbye to #Skype 👋 @Microsoft, you can do better.

  • marknoble //.// (@marknoble) reported

    @luiscarrascob @Skype @Microsoft The main argument I hear against it is "Well... then businesses wouldn't be able to call it because they block out-bound 1-900 numbers." I'm not seeing the problem here. Also, could be just a general 1-900 number and then invite the caller to enter an extension to be routed.

  • marknoble //.// (@marknoble) reported

    @luiscarrascob @Skype @Microsoft Skype lost the feature to record custom greetings long ago - so I can't tell people to Skype me instead of leaving a voicemail or simply hanging up, as most do. Instead callers just get a generic Skype VM message, which is... underwhelming for a paid service.
