    Skype account help


    Since launch day Skype on Xbox One has been miserable for me. It never worked when trying to call people, the calling screen would just show up for a second and disappear, options were missing. But today I signed into a different profile on the xbox, and
    then signed in to skype with a different profile. Everything works perfectly on there. The trouble is, thats stuck on my second profile, im left with a broken mess on my main gamertag since you cant sign out of skype on xbox one. Im not sure were im going
    with this post to be honest, anything i can do to fix this ?

    :)

    Skype account

    Not for me this one (thanks Shop-mutha-f**king-to!), but my boss is having problems with his Skype account - and too me, this is a BIG problem...

    Skype/MS are saying, you only get 1 chance to activate an account. Not knowing this, he was testing it yesterday and set up the wrong account. Now he cant even sign out of that account, let alone sign in as somebody else.

    I've done some digging around this morning and its apparently true - you can only activate one account and then its locked to your XBL account and you cant log out - all you can then do is disable notifications of calls/messages.

    Surely they got to patch that to change it?

    Are you using your Microsoft Account to sign in to Skype on XB1 or are you using your usual Skype Name and Password?

    You can link your Skype/MSA together by going to Skype.com - I will post a few links that can hopefully be helpful to you.

    Hope this helps you! Reply if you need more help.

    Skype

    Signing into Skype uses the Microsoft Account of the active user. If your Skype account is already linked to that Microsoft Account, it just uses that, if not you can link it to a Skype account that you have.

    So, for a family member that has a Microsoft Account on the console, but has not yet linked it to a Skype account, they should follow the flow to use an existing Skype account or create a new one.

    You can unlink the Microsoft Account that is linked to a Skype Account as described here:

    Skype no possibility to log in

    It sounds like there's some kind of confusion between Skype accounts and Microsoft accounts. Sign in to Skype on the web with to unlink your accounts, and then you can re-launch Skype on Xbox One to link the Skype account you want to the Microsoft account
    that you use on your Xbox.

    (For more information about unlinking accounts, see
    support.skype.com/.../how-do-i-unlink-my-skype-and-microsoft-or-facebook-accounts    )
