;I actually remember, the mode was called "skype me." If you are not in that mode I have no clue what's going on. -- Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. . For more info go to our website.

Guys I am afraid SkypeMe mode has been gone since a long time, I don't know for sure if they put it back but I don't think.

thanks for the input guys. i'm amazed that Microsoft haven't found away for users of one of their products to protect themselves from unwanted calls from complete strangers. I doubt zoom users have the same issue!!! regards steve

Not sure if that's a problem on Zoom.

But, Zoom has been plagued with session highjackers. Boy has that been a nasty time of it for zoomers. Not to mention losing streams in the middle of sessions and not being able to log in. Smiles, all programs have their moments of problems. KISS AN ANGEL GOOD MORNING!

Actually, you might be the only one having that issue, I don't have it because I have my thing set to contacts only. Again, if you are having the issue and no one else is, look at what the differences might be when troubleshooting. -- Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. . For more info go to our website.

Yeah it’s got to be settings somewhere. The only issue I have like that is when I’m signed into the out of sight radio skype and that’s because we have a phone number connected to it for listener requests. Sometimes telemarketer robocallers do call it or try to I have gotten em believe it or not during shows.
