Skype Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

• 💆🏽‍♀️ (@rene_plz) reported a minute ago from Chicago, Illinois

  My favorite thing that happens at work is when I try to talk to people casually/tell them about my problems on Skype and they just clearly don’t care or don’t even bother to respond at all! I STAN lack of support in the workplace!!!! 🙃

• Stephen (@swallis2k11) reported a minute ago from Kilmarnock, Scotland

  @SkypeSupport Hi, it is the World unlimited mins mobiles and landlines - monthly subscription, I am calling within the UK, landlines are working, mobiles are not working

• Rebecca Lockley #WeAreStarfleet 🖖🏻 #IDIC (@annaonthemoon) reported 3 minutes ago from Dunholme, England

  So apparently, there was some big merger and Skype changed and I had to reinstall. Would have been nice to notify people or have skype auto update when I opened it instead of just giving me that useless error. I don't use skype daily, only every few months with my bff.

  @SkypeSupport Hi, it has started ever since I bought the package two weeks ago, I have also checked the status within my area and there are no issues there. I need to call landlines and mobiles so I bought the unlimited package

• Stephen Q Bunwackett Buzzardstubble and Boot #FBPE (@ISayPorter) reported 6 minutes ago from Bruxelles-Capitale, Bruxelles-Capitale

  My new Directorate-General has no telephones - everything is done through Skype for Business. I arrived and found my PC doesn't have it, so I emailed the help desk to ask them to install it. The response was predictable. See if you can guess what it was. Answer tomorrow.

• Brennifer (@brennna_smith) reported 8 minutes ago from Kalamazoo, Michigan

  @SkypeSupport I recorded a call via Skype on 2/25 and am now unable to download the video file, but I’m well within the 30 day window where you are able to download. Help would be appreciated.

  My latest #Skype auto-update broke my login.. If you're on 8.39 build and can't login, go to the website and download build 8.40.. Login fixed! #MVPBuzz

• Kimberly Delgado (@KCDAutomate) reported 12 minutes ago from Los Angeles, California

  @vaficionado @SkypeBusiness @zoom_us It was down yesterday too. Had back to back meetings yesterday which customers set up on Webex and Skype; Webex is so old and takes so long to join, skype just wasn’t working straight up. Love Zoom!!

• BlippyTheWonderSlug (@BlippyTheSlug) reported 13 minutes ago from Frankfurt am Main, Hessen

  @SkypeSupport There was no instslled Skype. I grabbed from the App Store. I solved the issue (kinda) by downloading the Skype Preview installer and running it in Win8 compatibility mode.

• Working Class Hero (@oladavidd) reported 14 minutes ago from Karu, Federal Capital Territory

  @ReginaldDennys @TanyaCompas @_AD3X Please read all I wrote again. We have water, electricity & high speed internet so y’all can skype/FaceTime your folks back home to tell them how terrible Africa is YOU choose to dig us another well,so you can have a finished project & never have to come back after your photo op

• cam (@Cam_Evans) reported 18 minutes ago from Nottinghamshire, England

  @Trader_Dante @Jenner_Trader Remember this going down in the skype chat .

• Jason Danner (@jpdanner) reported 19 minutes ago from Waitakere, Auckland

  @gnat I think it's because they're reallocated numbers with long histories of previous owners putting down their phone number everywhere. I've had a US Skype number for a decade and it still gets some rubbish (although not nearly as much)

• Stephen Harper (@Stevieboy02) reported 22 minutes ago from Kirkcaldy, Scotland

  @SkypeSupport No its because Skype keeps suspending my account when l dont sign out and is unable to send a recover code to my mobile. Please HELP

• Traderlife (@Traderlife_) reported 24 minutes ago from Town 'n' Country, Florida

  @SkypeSupport Running the latest of desktop Skype app and iOS app. No error just says connecting and all the messages lag to go through
