First hard reset (hold down power button on the console for 8 seconds while its turned on) when it boots back up uninstall/reinstall the Skype app and it should work just fine

SentientSam,

Yes it is possible to have up to 3 participants on a video call on skype for Xbox One. Here is a link to the support page with the step-by-step to start the video call for 3 people:

Hopefully this will help you out.

I actually use Skype on my Xbox One quite a bit @ brandiesel. As do a few of my friends, who have family out of state. Why use a 5 inch phone screen when I can use my 70 inch? My father in law lives out of state. And mother lives out of state in the
winter so we Skype on our Xbox One's. And my daughter uses Skype on her Xbox One as well to speak with her Grandma. Skype is my most often used app, next to Xbox Music.

Let's try to not mix up requests here: The original topic starter was asking for a "Go back" option.

Now "Weapon X" is asking for a "quit or sign out Skype app" option which is a totally different thing. Indeed you can't sign out of Skype separately. You can change your status to "invisible" though if you don't want to be bothered by calls and IM. Also
don't forget that the Skype app adheres to the "Quiet Settings" of your Xbox One, more details on that in the Skype mini FAQ here:

And if you want to talk to the Skype guys directly you can do so here:

Are you playing a game when you get this echo?

Party chat was acting up on me one day so I used Skype to chat with a friend while we played a game. Skype was fine, but when we started Battlefield and got into a game, we noticed an echo. It ends up our voice was going through Skype and through the game
chat. We had to turn off game chat in the options in Battlefield to get rid of the echo.

Edit: Nevermind. I just noticed how old this post was. Sorry
