Skype Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • RadoRafiringa RFR (@RadoRafiringa) reported

    @Skype Microsoft locked my account in the middle of a life or death Skype call with my cousin, right after I bought credits for the call, cutting it off at a critical point. Cannot contact a human to fix it either. Calls to support are redirected to robots online.

  • MONOSAGA tuuki sossta 🍡 (@MONOSAGA) reported

    @Skype Skype help. my gf isn't able to call me. I think there's a problem with the server. It's been 2 years

  • SaifHeat Saif Heat (@SaifHeat) reported

    Name a social media software/app/service worse than @Skype 😑😑😑 I'll wait.

  • WeissEaster Easter Weiss (@WeissEaster) reported

    @Skype - Do you have any human beings working? I have an issue that cannot be resolved through FAQs but can't find a way to speak to a person! I've filled in forms and sent messages - no response! #CustomerService

  • Bruce_Toews Bruce Toews (@Bruce_Toews) reported

    Just submitted my @Skype audio issue, which I thought was resolved but actually wasn't, to the Microsoft feedback hub. No idea if my feedback will even makeit to the right place, let alone be noticed, but I've got to get this resolved.

  • mengopoo Mengopoo (@mengopoo) reported

    hey @Skype version 8.71.0.49 is just broken. It doesn't work with my logitech webcam that works with every other app and skype before the latest update. It causes my skype to freeze when the camera is selected.

  • mhammedsayed_ MoJack Horseman 🌞 (@mhammedsayed_) reported

    @Skype @EtisalatMisr Can you guys solve your problems so I can do my work please?

  • midytheimp Emily Lonalé (Emily Gold) (@midytheimp) reported

    Anyone else having issues with @Skype right now? Every single time I try to call my fiance it constantly says the connection is bad. It's not the internet this time because everything else works fine(for now anyway)

  • CherylDugganTO Cheryl Duggan (@CherylDugganTO) reported

    Thank goodness for @Skype ... With the Rogers/Fido service outage I would be really upset if I couldn't have my daily chit chat with my spare Mom. (I think some cities will need to re-assess their reliance on bulk Rogers cellular service contracts for city employees. #JustSayin)

  • LaScarah Lady Voodoo (@LaScarah) reported

    @Skype what is your customer service number in the usa? Are you deliberately hiding it? It should not be so difficult to find! Unhappy customer #skype #sucks

  • RDhaloria Ŕîťî 🏹🚜 (@RDhaloria) reported

    @Skype @SkypeSupport My skype account is not working since morning. Even after reinstalling, I am not able to login via both wifi and cellular data.

  • Shamas_Maximus Shamas I Maximus (@Shamas_Maximus) reported

    Anyone else having issues with the latest @Windows update? @MicrosoftHelps @Skype not launching and Windows menu not working to roll back updates? This is Friday, not Monday.

  • BasicallyMe1994 Tara-Jayne Bell (@BasicallyMe1994) reported

    @Skype Me and my other half always have issues with our msgs being delayed or not sent at all. Is it possible it's because I am using the Skype Preview while he's just using the normal Skype? if so I will stop using the preview if not, it may need fixing.

  • TeresaAnabel6 Teresa Anabel (@TeresaAnabel6) reported

  • robinsinghvi Robin Singhvi (@robinsinghvi) reported from Mumbai Suburban, State of Mahārāshtra

    Took about 5 weeks for #IRS to issue an EIN. They didn’t even let me know. I had to call them (free using @Skype’s subscription for $2.99/mo. Free 1 month trial!) They gave me my EIN after being on call for over 40 min. But wouldn’t fax it to my RA (free w/atlas for 1 yr)

    @GirlOfSelfLove @Skype I miss old Skype. When it was its own thing and not owned by a big corporation. ;-; I never had issues with it then.

  • Bruce_Toews Bruce Toews (@Bruce_Toews) reported

    So I'm trying to get my @Skype problem fixed through the forums like Microsoft wants you to do, but then you have fifty well-meaning people wanting you to try fifty different things. I just wish I could get some one-on-one help with this.
