I just moved to new Dell Optiplex 7010 computer with Microsoft 10. I tried to use my Skype acct with my 5 year old user name and PW. I posted it twice 5 days ago and have been blocked. The first day I was blocked for 24 hrs. On the second day, I created a new PW used it one time and was blocked again. I have reset my password now several times and each morning with a new password, I am blocked for 24 hrs. I have used Skype for 5 years (loved it) and based on this I am looking to move on. Any

Hi all, Can someone say what might cause a 'last seen' date & time to remain the same despite having chats/calls after that particular date, please? this is for both the laptop and samsung mobile

Split from this thread. I've also started having this problem recently. Syncing between mobile & desktop is very erratic - sometimes messages come through, sometimes they don't, and there doesn't seem to be any consistent pattern. I've tried all sorts of variations of logging out & in, disabling & enabling SMS Relay, turning the phone off & on. I have the same version of Skype 12.10.572.0 on both a Windows 10 desktop & Windows mobile phone - both fully updated. Currently, the deskt

Hey folks. I see the option to control the output level in Skype for Mac if I select an output device other than system default.  I move the slider around and it makes no difference at all.   I am recording interviews done over Skype and the remote side is always too hot and clips like mad, while my side is just fine.  I used to be able to control the volume of the output but that doesn't work any more.  I have tried this using both the digital output on the Mac itself, and the audio ou

How do I find all the features that were easily assessable on the previous versions such the option to have your contact view your screen?

Split from this thread. Yes, I can't even figure out how to answer an incoming call. Is there a help file or user guide that covers this new release?

Hello, I am having trouble signing into my skype account.  The last time I attempted to log in, it asked for my date of birth.  Since I use the account to make business calls, I put in the business start date, which is younger than 13 years old.  Now I can't log in because I need a parent's permission. I tried to log into my Skype account to verify that I am an adult using the credit card that is on file, but I get this message: Verify that you're an adult Please provide a valid cre

Hello, I upgraded to Linux Beta Version 5.4.0.1 on my Linux Red Hat 7.3 distribution, expecting I would solve the dialpad issue from previous version. At least for me, the issue got worse. Now I'm not even able to dial any number of the participant code while attending a meeting!!! On the previous version ( Skype for Linux Beta Version 5.3.0.1) I could at least dial the participant code (that Skype ignored) to attend a meeting. Now with the new one, not even this. Could you please provi

Hello, I'm trying to unlink my Skype and Microsoft accounts so that I can deactivate Skype without losing my email accounts, however when I go into Account Settings there is no option to unlink the two. How can I do this? Thanks!

We have our local number for Skype To Go for Brisbane being 073****146.  Both our phones are linked to our account but when we go to dial this it is saying the number we have dialled is invalid or incomplete.  Does anyone know what is going on and why this will not work as we have never had an issue before.

How do I turn this damn **** off? It's bad enough my microsoft log in and skype log ins are somehow linked, and one over rides the other, or one is not the same as the other. speaking of, any one know how to eliminate having to log in to win 10. I just want to turn the computer on, if I have to reboot, or it ridiculously shuts down to update.

I have been experiencing problems with connecting Skype calls - with and/or without the video screen - for about a year and a half.  It used to try connecting and then cut out after 11 seconds, now it simply says that the connection is not strong enough. I have a good wifi connection and can stream films so this does not make sense.  Can anyone help?  I've downloaded and re-installed countless amounts of time now to no avail and become increasingly exasperated with no solution and seemingly no

Please advise how to install classic SKYPE

Hi, I used to use Skype some years back whilst I worked away from home.  I have logged on using my old details (as have my wife) we both show as available, but we do not show as contacts to each other.  My wife sent me an invite but when I clicked on it, it was inviting myself to my own contacts.  I try to send an invite to my wife and she gets the same result.  We have both searched for each other but we do not see our names/phone numbers/email address.  We go to our contacts and send an inv

I paid my bill and have a receipt for it, and it was turned off. Now trying to contact anyone to get answers is totally impossible! What are my options?

I am using Skype version 12.1807.264.0 on Windows 10 Pro. It's a simple question: John Smith is my friend. I have his phone number. He may not be a skype user. I just want add his phone number in my skype contact list as John Smith, so that next time when I call John, I don't have to remember his number and I don't have to enter his number again. Simple. very simple. How can I do this? Please email the answer to *******************, since I have been waiting for this for a long tim

Since updating to the latest Windows 10 version of Skype (11.19.820.0), I cannot share my screen with others. People on older versions can share their screen with me, but not vice versa. 

How can I delete my contact history, if required. There was an access in the privacy section of the old Skype for desktop, but that has been removed. The setting area in new Skype for desktop is nowhere as efficient or user friendly. A pity it was messed with, when it worked so well.
