Merger of Skype with the Microsoft account

I use the Microsoft account and without much thinking, I chose "I am new to Skype" on the connection for the first time. Now I can't get the screen to merge the accounts because it saves me straight to an empty contact list :)

So the question is: how to get to this screen again to choose the option to merge the old Skype account?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

The Microsoft Community has no real influence with Skype so if we had problems
with Skype, we would have to use the same resources available to all users.

  • New computer wants me to combine Skype with the Microsoft account to connect. How should I not do this?

    I have an account to both personal and professional for Skype. I use the business account more. In the process of setting up the account company on my new computer, I asked for the connection information for the Microsoft account. After that, he wants now all merge so I sign in Skyp with connection to Microsoft. I don't want to do that. My business account is actually "owned" by my employer and I want to be able to make sure that everything is separate. How can I work around by using Microsoft information in Skype?

  • How to access different Skype with the microsoft account accounts

    Hi, I'm trying to connect to my Skype Windows 8 business account and the app requires me to enter my account from microsoft to get into Skype. When I put in my microsoft account, it creates a new personal account automatically and I can not change user to Skype my Skype business account. Is it possible with windows 8 to access Skype without a microsoft account? If not, is there a way to switch accounts once I put in my microsoft account? Thank you.

    Hi Steve,.

    The apps will be the user account that you used to connect to your computer in Windows 8. Here you have two options with you. First of all, you can stop using the version of the Skype app and start using the desktop version of Skype. It will give you the option to enter in your account and your password. With you, the second is to create a new user account with your company account and then sign in to access Skype.

    For help I suggest to post the question on the link below.

  • Unable to connect with the Microsoft account

    Hello

    I use the latest version of Skype for linux on Ubuntu 14.0.4 64 bit. The problem is - I can not connect using my account hotmail - everyone else using the computer can. I had change my mobile contacts not on my account hotmail some time ago, if this may be the reason?

    Thanks in advance for your help,

    Hi all

    The solution is very simple and exactly what I suspected. More than a month, I changed my cell phone number and updated my contact information in Microsoft Account. However, it takes them for a month or two to make the changes. Meanwhile user recalls only each time that he or she connects that coordinates are changed (white screen with a warning). On each device using Windows or Android, I was able to use Skype. But it wasn't the case with Ubuntu. Skype, launch, tried desperately to display "white screen" I mentioned, but its ' functionality is limited, so it kept resetting and return to the login screen. I don't know what the problem - Java, Silverlight or what else, but they have to fix it. Microsoft Account is far behind Google, or even Facebook, because of cases like this. Apparently, this isn't a single account for all as in the case of Google or FB.

    IT'S THE SOLUTION, THANKS! ;-)

    You must contact technical support of Microsoft Outlook to do this. HP does not support Microsoft technical support issues.

  • Skype crashes at startup with a microsoft account please.

    My Skype crashes at startup, if I auto sign with my microsoft account, then I start again and it tells me to connect so I click the button "Microsoft Account" for the signature and it says "Cannot display Page" as if I was on Internet Explorer and I had no internet. Although I can connect with a normal Skype account.

    List of things I've tried:

    Uninstalling and reinstalling

    Restart my PC of course

    Go to a previous version

    Please help, thanks.

    Looks like you can't open any secure pages (https).

    Try again to reset all Internet Explorer settings.

  • Unable to connect to the parental control with existing Microsoft Account

    I can't connect to Windows Live Family Safety with my existing Microsoft Account.

    I enter the e-mail address and password and click the Sign In button, and then get an error message saying "the e-mail address or the password is incorrect."

    The e-mail and password are correct, then why can't connect? I used to be able to connect to OK.

    1. This happens on two different Windows 7 laptops. I rebooted, cleared history, etc., and this did not help.
    2. I checked the e-mail address and the password several times (case is correct, that shift caps lock is not on, etc.).
    3. My address e-mail/Microsoft account is not an address Outlook.com, Live.com or Hotmail.com - it's my own domain, something like<*** email="" address="" is="" removed="" for="" privacy="" ***="">
    4. The Microsoft Account works for all other applications and web sites on my computer Windows 7 mobile, phone Nokia Lumia 920, Lenovo ThinkPad 2 compressed (Win8).
    5. This Microsoft Account <*** email="" address="" is="" removed="" for="" privacy="" ***="">works very well for Office 365 Home Premium.

    Thank you

    And the solution is...

    Disable the verification of two steps in the security settings for information on live.com.

    The parental control client cannot authenticate because he cannot ask the authenticator application code. Can't Movie Maker or one of the other applications of Windows Essentials .

    Awareness in two steps of authentication must be added to the Windows Essentials applications.

    Original title: connection problem

    I'm unable to access my computer (windows 8) with my microsoft account. The password works for the connection to outlook on the internet, but not the computer.

    The message I get when trying to connect is simply that I cannot connect you at this time and that I should follow a link to reset the password - what I've done without result. The computer is connected to the internet.
