Weird issues with skype
|
Tali Sarnetzky
Hi everyone.
I have had a very odd issue with Skype for the last 24 hours or so. First, nothing worked. I couldn't call anyone or message anyone. Then, I tried to sign out and cannot sign back in. It keeps saying loading and then returns to the sign in with this account screen. When I tried to sign in on Skype. com, I got a message that the website timed out. I am not sure what to do. Mind you, the only way for me to make international calls is through Skype or Facetime and I live in Israel, so I don't think I can call Microsoft Accessibility from here. Any advice would be very very appreciated! Cheers, Tali |

What version of skype are you running, what version of windows as well? What screen reader? What steps have you taken to troubleshoot besides signing out. Also have you tried rebooting the computer etc?

Hi Tali. If you have be my eyes on your phone, you can go to microsoft that way. You don't need to pay for it either. That's what I do.

I always let Skype update automatically and after uninstalling it, I got the latest version from the internet. I run Windows 10, latest version, and Jaws 2022 up to date, although I have NVDA on the computer as well if I need to use it. I tried system restore but it did not help.

I totally forgot to ask what version of the scripts if any are you running, also test with nvda in case this is a jaws issue. Also test with narrator if you didn't already.

I have tried with both NVDA and Narrator, but the problem persists.

Regarding the messages you already got on this: I doubt this is related to any screen reader, scripts/add-ons,

or even accessibility. It sounds like more of a Skype technical or permission problem. A few questions: Do you use a VPN? Did you change Internet services recently, replace or reset your router, or change how your computer connects to it? I'm not aware of any international diplomatic relations issues that would cause this, but I'll include that thought in case you know something I don't. Do you have any other Skype-capable devices you could try? That's all I can think of for now. On Wed, May 18, 2022 at 05:13:12AM +0300, Tali Sarnetzky wrote:

is why it was very surprising. I also thought of an International sort of an attack on Microsoft related products in Israel, but so far, nothing has come up in the news... I really appreciate everyone's assistance in trying to figure this out. At least now I know I have a way of contacting Microsoft help without Skype itself, so I plan to do that as soon as I finish my work for the day. On 5/18/22, Doug Lee <dgl@...> wrote:

I agree with Doug, sounds more like a technical/connection issue, not accessibility. I had a problem yesterday where I did not see many contacts and I needed to close Skype and restart it. Don't know if it can have anything to do, but my hotmail account recently gave me an error in Thunderbird which actually fixed it by itself as far as I can tell.

Hi Tali, First of all, do check if there is any update available for skype and do update it. In case you are using a subscription plan check if it's still valid and has not expired. On Wed, May 18, 2022 at 7:43 AM Tali Sarnetzky <tali.sarnetzky@...> wrote: Hi everyone. |

Hey Tali and all, I figured out that there is an hotfix for Skype for Windows desktop 8.83 ending with number 409, I cannot guarantee it can fix your issue but it's worth a try. If you don't see the update trhough Check for updates feature, try going here: www.skype.com/go/getskype-full

Hi everyone.
I am not sure what gave me the idea, but I decided to reboot the router and Voila! Skype is working again. Talk about a reason to get white hairs! lol Again, thank you to all of you for your kind assistance!
