What terrible technology @Microsoft has. Use of @Skype and @MicrosoftTeams conflicts always causing changes in driver settings & either one hanging. This is a leading global technology that the world "depends" on. How sad!!!

@Skype is there an issue this morning? Keep trying. To make a call and being told it is a weak connection. Have full coverage on 5g??

@Skype your famous noise when a call connects. Your service is being utilized to scam people. Being able to call people and make your number look like another shouldn't be legal. This makes duping people easier. They are starting make their numbers looks like official numbers.

@Skype How can I change my Skype Name? I’ve been trying to do this since 10 years ago when I was still a High School student and I have a ridiculous name since then. I’ve never been able to use my account again because I’m ashamed with my acquaintances about this. Help!

Hey @skype I need help. I have a subscription+number. Every time someone calls me the call drops immediately. Can you fix it? I've been going over your site trying to get support and I always end up in "Ask the community". I don't want to ask the communty. I pay and need support

Jim (@Jimmy17_) reported
Can't access my @Skype account. Every 'contact us' link on Skype/microsoft website links to useless troubleshooting pages that don't help. No way of accessing account to cancel my subscriptions, so I guess they're just going to charge me every month for the rest of my life now.

Sharon Hoepker (@SharonHoepker) reported
And no one on your various teams can explain how this happened, no one seems to care @ATT that a serious error was made. I have COVID, am in isolation, need to communicate with my family. Thank goodness for @Skype and @WhatsApp!! They know how to treat customers, I can reach out.

@Skype have you given up on your video calling service? It is absolutely pathetic! People are calling me, I try answering, but they continue to ring, if I'm lucky. Otherwise, it just says 'you have a missed call'! Please sort it out! #Windows10

@LidsAssist There is an employment scam using your company logo & information. They contact people abt employment, conduct an interview via @Skype chat, then issue you a fake check using the Lids company information. They also send a contract stating benefits from the company.

@Skype Why do you insist on wasting my time every 6 months ‘deactivating’ my credit and need me to login to reactivate the money I’ve given you? It does NOT endear me to the product any further. I’ve been doing this stupid dance 2/year for 7 years 🤬

Almost 10 years have passed since the acquisition of @Skype; and now after two countries, three teams and seemingly infinite re-orgs today was my last day at @microsoft. Time for a lie down... 😴

@Skype I was able to change it to use cell number and logged in. Ever since my account was transferred from hotmail to outlook I have had with issues with Skype.

Matthias Götzke (@mgoetzke) reported
@Skype I could arrange that, but the issue is quite clear. Whenever a call comes in, keyboard focus is transferred from whatever I currently do to the 'accept/reject' dialog. That causes me to basically always inadvertently either taking a call or rejecting a call and should not be
