  So @Skype is down which is super problematic because I use it solely for work. Fun Friday!

• 
  It's Michael, really. (@gmpoet_) reported 3 minutes ago

  @Microsoft should hire me so I can fix whatever bullshit @Skype foreign currency scam is going on. It's ludicrous that I can't delete my Skype account THAT I NEVER USE BECAUSE SKYPE SUCKS without deleting my entire MSFT account (which I mostly never use).

  Welp, I suppose it's time to go back to @Skype since @discord is down.

  For over a month now when I Skype with my gf she can see herself in the camera window but not me, same for me. Any other app we use has no camera issue. But we love Skype. We reset the app, made new accounts, same issue. Is this happening to anyone else? @Skype care to chime in?

  @Skype I don’t have Skype on my iPhone yet when I accept Skype on my MacBook, it keeps trying to connect to the camera on my iPhone. Why and how do I fix this? It’s annoying.

  Why is it so hard to get @Skype help ?

  Onne Vegter (@OnneVegter) reported 29 minutes ago

  @Microsoft @Skype Why are you making it impossible to access my skype credit now that skype has been retired? By making it impossible to move or access my credit balance or to get support about this, you are essentially stealing from me. Since you closed down Skype and Skype Manager, you should automatically refund all unused Skype credit to the manager or user who purchased the credit. Why do the richest and biggest tech companies always have the worst customer support? Stop being evil and stop robbing people!

  @MaxMoralesChile @MedhiGaurav @Skype in 2005 when I was in Iraq and Kuwait, Skype cut my monthly phone bill from $500 down to like $25. My thought was this is going to be a game changer

  @Skype Why don't you have a decent customer support service? Or ANY support service.......

• 
  Roma.Viaggio (@sweetylem) reported 31 minutes ago

  It is close to impossible to write an online review for @Skype. Their customer service is a joke! They reply at 4 in the morning just trying to take you off the social media. My account was locked for no reason, I was sent to a loop to find help. Nobody is answering on chat

  @Microsoft @Skype why the hell on earth still there are no m1 version of Skype on Mac? Since you’re using electron what the problem to port it to native arm build of electron ?!

  Marcelo (@mlarry63) reported 40 minutes ago

  @Skype The US Skype Number dont work. Doesn’t receive SMS. Can’t be assigned as Caller ID. Skype technical suponer doesn’t solve the problem for more than 10 days. Terrible

• 
  Roma.Viaggio (@sweetylem) reported 42 minutes ago

  They never give you a phone number for customer service and they don’t help anyone. The lazy customer service just locks the accounts to avoid doing any work. I was using @Skype paid services & now you won’t get a penny out of me. @Microsoft if you give a damn, @SkypeSupport

  Winter is rehearsing the shortest day. (Dan) (@ruderedhead) reported 50 minutes ago

  .@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

  Jack Epner (@GenLeading) reported 53 minutes ago

  @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.
