• A little sleepy Internet - cannot connect to Skype by using my Microsoft account

  Hello

  Since this morning, when trying to connect to Skype by using my Microsoft account, I got a message that the Internet is a little sleepy and I have to try again later. It's using the desktop on Windows 8.1 version. However, I can use my Skype ID and I am able to use the account of MS on Skype on Android. I could also open a session using the Win 8 application using my account, Ms.

  I tried the option to completely uninstall Skype (including enforcement Win 8) as suggested elsewhere on the forums of discussion, but the problem persists.

  It's incredibly frustrating!

  Please give me an alternative or tips on how to get rid of this problem.

  Thank you

  I discovered the problem. For one reason or another in my LAN in Internet Explorer settings, I had ' configuration script automatically use "checked with a value for the script. Have no idea how it got there, but he stopped at IE to connect to the internet, but also this problem with Skype. I almost never use IE, I tend to use Firefox or Chrome.

  A little worrying that it unknowingly.

• Sign in to Skype without using a microsoft account

  I seconded on behalf of Microsoft, but there doesn't seem to be an option to SAVE the setting. So, whenever I'm back in Skype via the Microsoft account. What I did is to get a new laptop. I won't connect to Skype via Microsoft account because my account Skype has my contacts, etc., and also when someone calls me the Skype account with Microsoft is not ringing or connect, it goes to my phone.

• Skype account is always available with the old user name and password after you bind Microsoft account

  https://support.Skype.com/en/FAQ/FA12081/how-do-i-sign-in-to-Skype-for-Windows-desktop-with-my-micro...

  After my new account Microsoft a link to my original Skype account, I'm still able to sign into account newly merged with the old Skype account username and password. Of course, I am also able to connect to the account merged with the Microsoft Mail and as well password account.

  My question is this, is this a planned security measure? As far as I know, support faq suggested using the Microsoft account to connect to the newly merged account. The support page is in the link given.

  I thought that once the merger of Skype accounts both Microsoft, the only method to sign the merged account is using the Microsoft account only. Please enlighten me on this matter. Thank you.

  This works as expected. When you link a Microsoft account with Skype account name, you should be able to connect to Skype, either by using Skype or Microsoft account name. Two connection options will lead to the same account.

• How to find the name of Microsoft Account of Skype contact?

  Hello

  I would like to move some of my business contacts to Lync 2013 which basically supports adding Skype contacts, but he needs the Microsoft Account of this contact. How can I know the Microsoft Account a person in my Skype contacts list? I'm sure that one or other of the people on the list has decided to use his Account MS to connect to Skype, but when I open the page of profile suspects with the help of this option , I see not their Skype name.

  Thanks for your help

  As far as I know, the only option to add Skype contacts to Lync is using their email address. This must be the same address that contacts were used to create the Microsoft account.

  This e-mail address is not in their profile, so you'll need to ask them to provide you with this address.

  Also, Skype users will only see their Lync contacts when connected with its account of Microsoft. Lync contacts will not appear when you are signed in with the Skype name.

  The only case where Microsoft Account is an absolute requirement is when dealing with the modern app from Skype (metro) for Windows 8/8.1.

  Desktop version, that can be installed on computers Windows 8.1 requires Microsoft account.

• 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.

  I want to close all my accounts MS after that got myself trapped in windows 8. Can someone tell me how I can do this. I really get tired of windows 8

  Hi Birol,

  Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help you with this problem.

  As described in the question, you want to know why you need a Microsoft Account to use Skype and other applications. You want to close your Microsoft Account.

  I wish to inform you that you need a Microsoft Account to make purchases from the store Windows. Your Microsoft account is the combination of an email address and a password that you can also use to connect to services such as Hotmail, Messenger, SkyDrive, Windows Phone, Xbox LIVE and Outlook.com.

  You can connect to Skype using Skype or Microsoft Account account. It is not mandatory to have a Microsoft Account to access Skype. Download the desktop version of Skype App and use the Skye account to access.

  You can connect to Windows 8 by using the Local account Microsoft account. If you connect to Windows 8 using local accounts you cannot access some of the features of Windows 8.

  Apart from this, there are a lot of Apps through which you can be in contact with other people. You need Microsoft Account to access the apps like Messenger, calendar, people App or Windows store.

  I would ask write you to with the description of the problem you're having with Windows 8, so that we can help you to solve. If you want to close your Microsoft Account you can see the link here.

• 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.
