    The web messenger (Skype) in my email account doesn't open up. I've observed in the past that web messenger only opens up when the advertisements on the right side of the page appear which they don't right now, there's just blank space. Pls help. @Skype @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook

    @katycgrubb @Skype I was recommended to @Quick_restore. He was able to recover my locked account in less than an hour. He is legit and highly recommended for the service. Go contact him now to get your account back

  • Engineerisaac Engineerisaac.com (@Engineerisaac) reported

    @Skype it’s time to shut down 100% if the scams and spam come from your service.

  • MelMajoros MelMajoros (@MelMajoros) reported

    @Skype your virtual assistant didnt help me please DM me, you deactivated my account for no reason

  • andrejonker Andre 🐦 (@andrejonker) reported

    I have been fighting with @Microsoft support for so long about a @Skype number that still doesn’t work. With every interaction, they claim human error, but I have other numbers that work fine. They basically just took my money and gave me a fake number. I am now giving up.

  • BbBojangle BB Bojangle (@BbBojangle) reported

    @Skype @Microsoft Worst customer Service ever. I submitted for my account to be deleted. It wasn’t. Now I’ve been hacked and can’t get into my account to “re-delete” because the “Recovery” system thinks I’m not the owner of the account. So, so stupid.

  • lilygrozeva Lily Grozeva (@lilygrozeva) reported

    @Skype 's login process is like the service telling you - please, don't use us.

  • yourtoyrobot Tipsy Bob Ross (@yourtoyrobot) reported

    @Skype Open Skype on PC. Within it, open an image. You'll see Close Image X immediately under the Close Skype X. It's not a glitch or bug, it's an intentional UI placement and it's horrible.

  • C0lyer Colyer Dale (@C0lyer) reported

    Just me, or does FaceTime need serious work? No matter where I am or how good my service is it always lags or cuts out. What’s the deal @Apple? Is it time to go back to @Skype? It’s 2022 this shouldn’t be happening every time.

  • JustCocoDupree cocodupree (@JustCocoDupree) reported

    @Skype Hello, I bought a Skype number through the Skype app. But I can’t tell where to record a voicemail greeting. Can you help? Thank you!

  • LilMissAsante Mizz Asante (@LilMissAsante) reported

    @Skype what is going on with your app? Zero customer service support just endless links to community blogs Unhelpful

  • sayheyraye a very evenhanded maiden (@sayheyraye) reported

    I am so frustrated with @Skype. An old account I have not regularly used was hacked recently. Despite weeks of trying @skype will not delete my data/account so that the hackers stop making charges. I have made requests under the CCPA but Skype won’t fix the problem.

  • prairiefiremktg Wes Owen (@prairiefiremktg) reported

    @Microsoft @Skype why am I getting charged for something that was cancelled? Why is in next to impossible to get service?

  • anthonydavenpod Anthony Luka Davenport (@anthonydavenpod) reported

    @Skype is terrible, bring back Windows Live Messenger

  • LetMeEdit Lorraine O'Donovan (@LetMeEdit) reported

    @Skype you have taken my credit again and I need help reactivating it, please help.

  • yourtoyrobot Tipsy Bob Ross (@yourtoyrobot) reported

    @Skype You guys are completely misunderstanding the issue. There is no troubleshooting because it a purposeful design choice made by Skype. Not a bug, glitch, or program error
