Skype Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ERudnick Eric Rudnick (@ERudnick) reported from Los Angeles, California

    This whole time, Skype was a gateway service.

  • quentinnield Quentin (@quentinnield) reported from Gibraltar, Gibraltar

    ONCE AGAIN an important interview - this time with a Rabbi who saw the terrible events in Vienna last night - was ruined because @BBCRadio4 insist on using Skype or similar. If it’s important, USE AN OLD FASHIONED PHONE CALL! Infuriating.

  • nonsummerjack 『null』 (@nonsummerjack) reported

    @ZetZet31397278 @SkypeSupport This IS the only customer service they have.

  • nicinthawoodz nichola g (@nicinthawoodz) reported from Prince George, British Columbia

    At work I put my login password as my skype status...how’s your day going??

  • HipCounsel HPC | #HIPCOUNSEL | HIGH PERFORMANCE COUNSEL (@HipCounsel) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @LottieJohn1 @ItisJudge First there was a spark. Then a flame. Then a fire. Then a bonfire. Then (big gap) a lightbulb. Then TV. Then videoconferencing with issues. Then Skype. Then video for everyone. Then chaos. Tech is a beautifully dangerous companion thrust upon the unweary traveller. #hipcounsel

  • DavidSmithTV TVDirectorDavid (@DavidSmithTV) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @LyndaCampbell9 Such a shame Skype let us down tonight on that one this evening. Trying times indeed.

  • MikScarlet Mik Scarlet (@MikScarlet) reported from Camden Town, England

    @daisyholder @BBCLondonNews It was on the radio. @EddieNestorMBE just after the 7 o'clock news, although my crappy phone reception meant I didn't make much sense until 7.15. Thanks Eddie & sorry for the broken robot at the start of our interview. Stick to Skype next time eh?

    Im a nonthreatening feminist boy, come talk to me on Skype! talk to me on skype about your problems as a woman i sympathize i’m taking womens studies. I took women’s studies I know what ‘systematic’ means.

  • BaddiieM maddie b. (@BaddiieM) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    there’s a lot of terrible people out there, but those who ask “aRe YoU jOiNiNg!?!” 5 min before a skype meeting starts are the WORST.

  • 2tylerdurden3 Murad (@2tylerdurden3) reported

    @RepSpanberger FYI, NK is recognized by whole world, also by USA as a part of Aze. Why didn’t you ask for sanctions for Armenia last 30 years? And if you concern about NK problem, why you skype only with armenins/agressors? Hello? Where is logic?

  • symzni شميمي 🇲🇾 (@symzni) reported

  • Ottercynic Matt (@Ottercynic) reported from Sunnyvale, California

    @MitchDLG Yeah — I don’t have any issue with Skype; at least it isn’t Google Hangouts

  • ZetZet31397278 ヨウコ チリッチ (@ZetZet31397278) reported

  • NoraHutson Weathergirl #FBPE 🇪🇺🔶 #3.5% (@NoraHutson) reported

    @miffythegamer Bad idea: but feel duty-bound to have my 93 year old Dad, whose memory is failing, to stay. My brother will have to drive him down. Dad has been so adversely affected with all activities curtailed except walking, he can no longer use Skype and struggles even with KOMP 😳😢.

  • bengalitrash فطوبى للغرباء (@bengalitrash) reported from Birmingham, England

    U have to mute ur skype call or ppl will hear ur terrible thoughts

  • Oly_TX OA (@Oly_TX) reported from Dallas, Texas

    I just got a Skype message “wats the issue?”

  • Geoffrey_Wardle Geoffrey M. Wardle (@Geoffrey_Wardle) reported from Meridian, Idaho

    This is a disease that has a huge impact on lower wage service workers. You can’t stock shelves via Zoom. Microsoft Teams wont give Alzheimer patients their meds. Skype won’t pick up the trash. /42

  • BaSingSe__ NigélTheExplorer (@BaSingSe__) reported from Austin, Texas

    My coworker really be killing herself at home, like sis I’m not gonna sit on a Skype call with you for hours tryna figure out why there’s a server error 🤯

  • prettyfeetdont Your Highness🦶🏼💰 (@prettyfeetdont) reported from Enterprise, Nevada

    @David69898218 I’m down let’s do it FaceTime, Skype, zoom

  • Selly_Jr Selly🐾 (✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿) (@Selly_Jr) reported

    Love it when my boss keeps trying to call me even though my skype clearly says I'm offline (due to not being signed-in yet). What I hate even more is that the call always redirects to my mobile phone. So I'm always getting calls even if I'm not working.

  • kenziroze 💐 Goddess Kenzi Roze 💐 (@kenziroze) reported from Paradise, Nevada

    One Skype call down... two more available spots! 😈

  • danielbeland Daniel Béland (@danielbeland) reported from Montréal, Québec

    @MikeMikeMed Yes; compared to the BBC, CBC is parochial. Funding is part of the problem but it probably doesn’t explain everything. With Skype and Zoom you can interview people all over the world at no or little cost. Still, having more foreign correspondents on the ground would help a lot.

  • as_manx Manx As The Hills (@as_manx) reported from Kirkmichael, Michael

    Dont know if it’s just me but the human race is so down at the moment and positivity just doesn’t exist. It’s not just here on our Island but after spending 3 hours on a global Skype call it’s everywhere and is more of a Pandemic than Covid.

  • DinaGlyphs Öpéyëmí D. Bámidélé🥵😠😡🤬 (@DinaGlyphs) reported from Ibadan, Oyo State

    If the crocodile will be real, these steps will help. Step 1 - Paid\Free VPN Step 2 - Skype Phone number Step 3 - Bind the numbers to your social accounts and your mail if possible @EndSarsResponse could this be advisable for those who want to be actively involved online?

  • reelmoosik Not Paul (unis keep scrolling) (@reelmoosik) reported

    We went from Skype your parents on Diwali and locking down Manchester during Eid to discussion of pausing restrictions for Christmas real quick...

  • LwaziSiyaphi . (@LwaziSiyaphi) reported from Bekkersdal, Gauteng

    @makepisi_ Anything work related I don't have a problem with. Even though I'd prefer an email or Skype call
