Skype Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • gameism Steve Bowler (@gameism) reported

    One of the things every single video chat service (Skype, Zoom, Meet, etc) is missing is the thing Discord already solved: the ability to adjust the volume of each individual user on MY end. Meet: you can mute them for everybody (worse) Zoom: lol nope Skype: why would we do that

  • malloryc1215 Mal💋 (@malloryc1215) reported

    @DrBiden 3. And especially offensive during a pandemic where our essential asses were being out on the line day and night .... not working via Schoology/ teams/ or Skype

  • LikwidChris Chris L. (@LikwidChris) reported

    @thisisfall You able to change the inactivity time out settings like you could with Skype or do they have that locked down now?

  • SiggiGG Sigurdur Gunnarsson (@SiggiGG) reported

    @GNious Yeah lately for work we're using MS Team which is ok most of the time, and since Skype is so terrible I'm now using Facebook Messenger video chat with my family in Iceland.. I don't know of a better alternative there :/

  • MissLexisaurus Alexis🤶 (she/her) (@MissLexisaurus) reported

    **** Microsoft and the pile of **** shaped like a horse they rolled in on. Their piece of **** service has meant my therapy appointment is delayed or cancelled because my Skype number has been "claimed" by someone else, despite it being MY phone number and me not having had any

  • IsRedeyes Old Redeyes Is Back (@IsRedeyes) reported

    @SkypeSupport is anybody going to answer me? Every single day I have to reset my phone on Skype. Via my laptop. Why are you not looking into this problem?

  • AlanBaxter Alan Baxter (@AlanBaxter) reported

    This old guy is dead, no pulse. He had a phone in his pocket, and I’ve managed to log in to Twitter. He already had that app, but he’s never tweeted. Thing is, I have wifi down here, but no phone signal. And I don’t have his app store password to download Skype or something.

  • momslandfill Ben :'( (@momslandfill) reported

    @Kurt_W25 Although if you use like discord or skype or something while listening to music, the music gets crazy compressed. That might be an issue with my laptop though

  • MichaelJosem Michael Josem (@MichaelJosem) reported

    @Microsoft @Skype Because they refuse to provide either email or postal support, I'm forced to sit online with them continually while their staff fail to fix this problem. If you ever run a customer service channel, please do not force me to use your awful and slow "online chat" service.

  • knocknascheagh SYLVIA SMITH (@knocknascheagh) reported

    @rorymcevoy Yeah, skype call with my brother. My nephew always trying to get in on the screen to ask about the dog and cat, and what we'll do when he comes down. My little niece (only 3) stares at me like a stranger. Haven't seen her since March, no bond formed. Really choked me up

  • Schwa_Wilde Cris A.S. (@Schwa_Wilde) reported

    @BarclaysUKHelp Hi! I've been waiting on skype for 50 minutes and still no answer, just that horrible music playing on repeat. Any chance I can get customer service on the other side before dinner?

  • WYF_Podcast Jamie Irwin, host of What's Your Favourite? (@WYF_Podcast) reported

    OK tech geeks - please help me out. Skype and FaceTime both have functions that automatically detect background noise and they try to cut it out. Annoyingly that makes my guitar cut in and out when giving lessons and people's voices cut out when speaking at the same time...

  • SaffronDelhite Raman (@SaffronDelhite) reported

    Google : "Global Outage" .. .. Me : "Yess..finally Global Peace" .. Till Customer: "Let's Skype" Partners: "Let's Zoom" #Googledown

  • UrFriendSallie Brat Girl 🦇🌹 (@UrFriendSallie) reported

    @vegedarian_ THIS!!!!!!!!! Jobs are doing to much these days!!! Once I had to take 2 personality tests and then do a 2 hour long interview of me doing logic problems on a white board via Skype and didn’t even get that job! Like you did this for what?

  • suzygreenbergjr suzy greenberg (@suzygreenbergjr) reported

    Is it just me or has video chat quality gone down over the years? FaceTime lags more now than Skype did 10 years ago
