Can't Sign in to Skype Error

Susan_Flander — Sun, 23 Mar 2025 04:51:48 GMT

Hello:

I am trying to either remove Skype for Business or enable it. I am unable to remove it out of Default Applications and clicking Uninstall does not work at all. The installation is stuck on my local machine. Can someone direct me on how to remove the application?

When I try to enable Skype for Business, I get the following error message:

Skype phone numbers we are using for US, AU are not working at all, we need help please

csnotification — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 14:18:26 GMT

We have already paid for yearly renting of the Skype phone numbers we are using for US, AU and these are not working because are not getting redirected after the right settings in place, also the voicemails are not working at all, no settings working at all and after paying there is no one to talk to and report the issue, no email of support, no department of support to send ticket, no phone number, absolutely nothing to provide you support as client for something that you paid and is not working!!!

I have tried to adjust the settings based on the forms from the Skype app for windows also from the Skype app for web and I tried both the redirect also the voicemail and none of them working to be setup. So disappointed and we already paid for 1 year in advance for both of them.

We need help!

call persistance

Hello to all
Related to Skype for Business On-premises 2015

Someone might start calling the mobile app while away from work by connecting over a 3G network, then switch to the corporate Wi-Fi network. In this case, assuming the necessary actions in the configuration, will the call be interrupted or can it continue?

Screensharing mit Ventura 13.2.1 und Skype for Business 16.29.95 doesn´t work

bernardo_60 — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 10:35:32 GMT

Hello I am not able to share my screen via Skype with Ventura and the latest Skype 16.29.95. Or rather to see it when another participant in the conversation shares his screen. The behavior is identical in both situations. It works for about 10 seconds then just aborts. After that the screen sharing is no longer visible. However, the Skype connection still exists. I can still talk to the other person and the camera video image is still transmitted normally. Only the sharing of the screen does not work anymore. It can not be activated in this call. Only when you re-establish the connection, you can try the timing again. However, it disconnects again after about 10 seconds. I have reinstalled Skype several times in the meantime. This does not solve the problem.

background static noise on audio with Skype for B. call while using the Yamaha CS-700 microphone

Ciprian Samihaian — Fri, 17 Feb 2023 22:35:36 GMT

SFB is used for meetings with the desktop client. When we use the Yamaha CS-700 microphone, there is a strong background noise over the voice, received by the other participants in the meeting.

This is happening only with Skype, not with Teams.

Skype for Business is Continually Running High CPU on Mac

ianaberle — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 16:41:20 GMT

I am currently running macOS Monterey (12.5.1) with Skype for Business (SfB) 16.29.95. SfB is constantly running high on the CPU, even with a Quad-Core Intel Core i5. This appears to have started with the latest macOS Security Update.

I've tried uninstalling/installing SfB and followed Marvin Ma MSFT's suggestion of removing items from the User Library, then restarted. I even repeated the process, downloading and installing a fresh copy of the SfB app to no avail. SfB still regularly takes up a large amount of processing power on my Mac, making it challenging to use many Adobe apps with the extra CPU load.

I know this is a reoccurring issue, but I am looking for other suggestions to resolve this issue.

Skype4Business Crash In Windows 11, But Is Fine On Windows 10 Machines

CalvinWork — Fri, 26 Aug 2022 00:51:22 GMT

Hi Community,

I'm trying to support one colleague with very unusual Skype4Business (part of Office 2016 Pro.) crash issue.

After user has successfully launched and login at S4B, the app will crash and disappear in less than a minute. We've tried some remediation steps, but still unable to determine the cause of the crashes.

Re-formatted user's laptop again, then applied all Windows 11 and Office updates, but her S4B profile still crashed.
Tried her S4B login to different Windows 11 machine, and S4B app still crashed in less than a minute.
Other users tested on her Windows 11 laptop have no issue, as S4B app do not crash.
If we test her S4B login at other Windows 10 machines, surprisingly S4B does not crash - so crashes only happen on Windows 11 machines

The affected Skype4B build number is 16.0.4266.1001.

We collected ".UccApilog" logs when her S4B app/profile crashed in Windows 11 - is this Forum the correct place to share the Skype log ?

Thank you.

Is there any guidance out there on this issue?

Skype for Business on-prem without Exchange Hybrid - autodiscover configuration?

CWick8989 — Wed, 17 Aug 2022 05:32:19 GMT

We completed a migration of all Exchange users to Office 365 several months ago, and we have one remaining Exchange Hybrid server. We have our phone system that is currently Skype for Business (planned to be replaced with Teams in 6+ months), and we want to get rid of the last Exchange server.

Exchange is currently providing autodiscover for S4B, and I am looking for guidance on what steps we need to do (and if it is possible) to re-point autodiscover to the S4B Front-End pool so that we can remove the last Exchange Server.

Any advice?

Skype for Business - Display name changed, but still showing on inbound calls

TeemoOnDuty — Mon, 15 Aug 2022 23:52:13 GMT

Using skype for business, I've recently changed a user's display name which has worked successfully on the client's side. However, receiving calls from this person still shows their previous display name. Is there a way to correct this? Issue is occurring across multiple tested users in the organisation

Skype account

Azaria15 — Tue, 09 Aug 2022 22:46:00 GMT

Good morning,
For the past few days, I have been experiencing several difficulties on skype despite the fact that I am using the latest version of skype. Here they are:
- The messages I send on skype do not reach the recipients, they turn without ever arriving.
- When I put my status in active, a few seconds later it disconnects.
- I manage to call one person, but I cannot add more than one person in a call, but the messages do not go through.
- When I want to create a new skype account, I can't log in to do so.
Can you help me?
