Skype

Skype which used to so good and easy is now impossible .
I have tried to sign in all morning .
I have reset my password five times .
Now it says I have to sign in with Microsoft and it looks like someone else is using my account so must verify with another email that I don't have .
So they say mak one with outlook but I can't do that because I can't sign into Microsoft .
Being going around in circle for two rotten hours

Re: Skype

Skype was doomed to fail as soon as it was taken over by Microsoft. If you have a mobile phone, you could use one of the many free Apps such as `FaceTime` on the iPhone, Google Duo on Android or even Whatsapp. All you need in addition is a data allowance or a WiFi connection.

Re: Skype

I can't even sign into my Microsoft account, I tried once and it said reset my password as it was wrong, second time it said I'd tried too many times. I was trying to install Office, new item with code. Impossible!
