  @Skype @Deepakbayofads My account is locked too for no reason. The chat kept me waiting forever and I never got to “chat”.You have a terrible new team at Skype. I use my account to call my elderly mother. She doesn’t have internet access and you cut off my only communication route. Brutal brutal brutal

  @Skype I can't access my account because the reset password code isn't being sent to my email. Idk why you make it so hard to speak to a rep. I can't prove my account because I don't have any contacts saved. I only used it for one purpose. Please help me access my account.

  So, @Skype, I need some guidance here. I have Googled already. On the PC app, I have a problem where the video stream from a member in a meeting is gone. The member is showing up on other members' screens, but not mine, on the host pc. Audio is present, just no video. Helb pls.

  Once upon a time, @Skype would just keep your paid credit for years. It would just work. Now they say "We're going to turn it inactive after 180 days and make you jump through hoops to reactivate it and oh yeah our credit systems are down so we can't reactivate it right now." BOO

  Hey, @discord, people are starting to compare you to @Skype now. It's actually trending, worldwide. You remember what happened to Skype, don't you? Because of you? The irony would be delicious if the situation weren't so terrible. But you can fix this. You know what to do & how.

  When your job uses both @Skype and @MicrosoftTeams it's a lot like when you change cable companies and the new company literally rips out any of the old existing connections just to make the other company's life hell if they ever have to hook up service again. #GetYourOwnSandbox

  @Skype Why the phone fonction is not working actually, neither on CPU or the app? And don't we are able to talk to someone at client service at Skype, except a f****g and stupid robot?

  I use @Skype subscriptions for talking to my family in Iran. Yesterday, Skype suspended my account because of using their service and told me I should create a new account, rest of my current package is gone and they even won't refund the package. Amazing service and support!!!

  @Skype Can you PLEASE resolve a bug that's been posted about for years on MS Support forums where Skype kills all other audio when using bluetooth headsets? There are threads closed out from a year ago, yet the issue persists, and many have reported it.

  .@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
