Status in Skype

I have upgraded my Skype to the latest version and was very disappointed. The new update has only two State option: online and invisible. With respect to the other options, such that by far, do not disturb, they are lost. Can I change my status to do not disturb. More I don't see one such status chosen by my contacts. If no choice do not bother, I see it offline. Further, I see as being online. So I can't even, if the contact is really online or offline. Is it possible to fix this?

The latest Skype for Windows desktop has all the available status options. You use the version of office or of the 'modern' of Skype for Windows 8/8.1 app?

  • Account untie Skype and Hotmail

    I accidentally linked my hotmail account on my Skype account. Now when I change status on Skype, my Hotmail change status as well (is it supposed to do when bind you it). is there a way anew link?

    I thought that sign with a Skype account meant that WLM users could not see you at all (as you do not see them when you do this). In all cases, you can unlink your account here:

  • Impossible to call landlines with Skype my 8W Iconia

    I have Skype credit but cannot make calls to fixed phones of my 8W Iconia.

    I was able to (in July) there are a few butterflies, but now I have to use other equipment when it comes to Skype. The problem is with my tablet.

    I tried to uninstall and install the latest version (27 September 2015 was my last attempt) but the phone icon does not work.

    I had a problem with the auto rotation feature that disappeared, by live chat, I could solve the problem to install some drivers.

    I don't remember if I tried to use Skype immediately after that, but I was not able to do it for at least a month now.

    I'd appreciate your help.

    Kind regards

    Justin,

    Thank you very much.

    I was unable to do a system restore to a point in time. I didn t get the possibility to choose, he automatically the value from the point of restoration to the present day.

    The problem is an application I've been recommended to seek assistance for Skype or try with a full system restore.

    Skype support was impossible for days, but fortunately, I could finally get chat support from them and the problem has been resolved.

    Here is the solution, in case it can help someone else (as the person in chat live Acer told me that the problem was with Skype, not Acer):

    Apparently, at some point I had changed my status "disconnected" Skype, which was the reason why I couldn t make calls. As soon as I have it changed to 'connected' to the phone icon has started working and I could make calls.

    Again, I am very happy with Acer because both times I need support, both the community that the cat will live have been very nice and helpful.

    Thank you very much!!

  • Can't get Skype customer. .

    Can you put an email address, they will respond to, or even postal mail address?  When I use their web messaging operations they tell me that I'm not connected, even though I am.

    I know that they have their own Service to the customer, but MS them now has.  I'd be happy to talk with them, if only I could figure out how.  The roads they provide now do not work for me and they have successfully hidden and e-mail or mailing address can be used as a method of emergency communication.

  • Call button does not

    OK so basically that my call button does not work. My command /golive work which is really strange. This started yesterday (8-31) and is still a persistent problem even after I upgraded the latest version of Skype. I checked the forum and have not found anything that has helped me. I, I am the host of this call and have been for several months; It is the first time that this has happened. My status says Skype online, so this isn't my problem. I'm on Mac OSX 10.10.5. Help me

    Thank you that was the answer I was looking for. Thank you for your time and sorry if it was a stupid question.

  • People stranded

    I can't speak English so well, but I hope you guys understand.

    If I blocked someone, can this search of the person and wright to me, but I do not see?

    The blocked person can't see my Skype name?

    I hope someone understand and can answer that!

    Hello

    If you have blocked a contact from your contact list, it will prevent them to call you, send you instant messages and view your status in Skype. In addition, when you block a contact, you can also choose to report abuse. This indicates spammers so we can stop in the early stages of their fraudulent or inappropriate activity.

    I hope this helps.

  • Cannot send chat messages

    Since yesterday afternoon, my stopped chat messages sent to my Skype account on my laptop. I type my message and click on send, they appear as if they send but then just continue to look as if they are loading with the icon of the little circle revolves around.

    I was also unable to receive all messages since this happened.

    I have Skype on my phone and its working very well. I tried the phone app logging to see if that would help. There can be no.

    I also deleted cookies Skype and history in the settings. I tried logging and back in. I tried to restart my laptop.

    Nothing seems to work.

    I also began to see a message that says House of Skype is not available at the same time, it happened.

    I tried

    It is useful if you set your status on Skype for online. Yours is offline. The status icon next to your name should be green with a white check mark inside.

  • Whenever I get a message I do not get a notification tone

    I don't get an alert tone when receiving messages or calls. So when someone calls I don't know if I'm looking at Skype and I don't know that I got a message until I see it in my bar tasks.

    First of all, make sure that your status on Skype is not set to "do not disturb".

  • problem with Skype status

    Skype on startup display my contacts online but my status just keeps turning and I can't call someone, I have the latest version running on win7 64-bit.

    Your contacts have not been very active recently...
    Why not post your own status update?

    Nuwin I just deleted my hosts file and made a new and restart Skype and it is connected, so fingers crossed that did the trick. Thanks for your help, I was reading through one of the other jobs and you had proposed to do this.

  • Skype won't let me call, message, or I want to change my online status

    Hello all, I have several problems on my Skype. I use Skype on Windows 8. I had these problems once or twice and I fixed it usually simply by deleting the program and it redownloading. I had the question once again and I'm not for most everything to remedy, but nothing works. The issue or the problem im having is pretty simple, I can't CALL, MESSAGE, or the STATE of MY CHANGE. Whenever I message someone something it simply never sends and the loading thing keeps circuling around and around and never sends. When I send a picture tell the truth, it is 'impossible to download/send. When I try call call never rings and just stays there forever and I can't put end. usually, I have to restart my Skype out. The latest issue is change my status. Usually, when I change my status the program does nothing. Basically, those are my questions for my Skype. I've seen other people having the same issue. Some people helping gave them some tips. I followed the steps to solve the problem. I tried first by la - press the key Windows and R and type in %AppData%. He said renaming the folder Skype 'Old_Skype '. I did, but unfortunately another problem occurred. HE says that you cannot rename this file is open in another program/place I do not know where because I already closed my Skype and quit out of it. The second thing I did was-press the Windows key and press R and type in % temp%/skype. Then I had to remove a folder called 'DbTemp '. The same problem still product - you cannot delete this file because the file is open in another program/place. I decided to rethink and to get the new Skype for windows. The initial problem was still there. I can't call or message or change my status on one of my Skype (Skype Desktop and Skype) modern Windows. I gave a thought and said if it was my computer. I denied that thought because my internet browser and the regular PC games still worked and operated very well. So I said what happens if it is just my Skype profile itself? I also countered this thought by the fact that I was still able to use Skype on my mobile phone. THIS ISSSUE IS REALLY A PAIN KILLER. I USE SKYPE TO COMMUNICATE WITH FRIENDS AND I CAN'T CONVINCE HIM TO USE ANOTHER PROGRAM INSTEAD OF SKYPE. AND MY DEVICE USING MOBILE WHILE PLAYING SOME PC GAMES ON MY COMPUTER MAKES MY GAMES LAG AND CRASHED. PLEASE I REQUEST ASSISTANCE AND HELP FROM ANYONE!

  • Skype always online status

    I have problem my few contacts online, but they are not online.

    I think that on my opinion because I have 2 accounts and tried to sign with the other account on Android so my another account always online when someone uses Skype on android so his Skype status is always online.

  • Skype status: during a call

    Hello

    for some reason other people under my name status 'in a call. It shows me as online (green), but next to him "in a call" is displayed. How can I remove this? I have no mood message.

    It is more than likely that this state of the call is managed by Jabra software. I don't know if this software still work with the latest versions of Skype, and if you use this software is no longer, so it's best to remove Skype.

    In all cases, you should be able to remove this status "in a call" by editing your mood message.

  • My status display far to the top on Skype accounts to others?

    Hello!

    I just discovered something weird - when I connect to my Skype account, then on Skype to my brother, my status is away.

    When I connect my Skype account then on my brothers Skype my status changes of what is set up on my Skype...

    Once again:

    Connect to my Skype, and immediately on my brothers Skype my status changes from what my Skype status, such as Online, Invisible...

    But as soon as log out me of my Skype and then immediately on Skype my brother my status (yellow) absent changes.

    Question:

    How is that possible?

    Maybe someone else is loged in my Skype account, with the other computer or device, if he or she has set up the status away?

    This means that my Skype account was hacked by an unknown person?

    I even changed my password Skype, loged and yet one time, but it did not help.

    I can force these pirates to my Skype account after that I changed my Skype password, so they can not access my account again?

    Thank you very much for the help!

    Try the /showplaces and cat /remotelogout commands.
