Link MS and Skype account

Hi Guys!  
I need some help. I've read a lot of article and the HelpDesk here, but I couldn't find any solution.
Well, I have a Microsoft Account and a Skype Account. I'd like to connect them with eachother.
I know the official solution: login with MS Account, then click 'I have a Skype Account'....but I didn't do this at the first time I logged in with MS Account. Since then I'm not able to get this window so I cannot link the accounts.
Do you have any idea or solution?
Thanks a lot,
Adam

Answer in that link - there is quite a lot to read but keep going - it does tell you what to do if you have setup skype but didnt do the link thing first time round.
Looks like you have to unlink the account, and then link it back up - look for the following bit of text - it has a hyperlink with further instructions:
 "If you want to link a Microsoft account you've already used to sign into Skype to an existing Skype account, you'll need to sign in with your Microsoft account, unlink the existing accounts (there will be one created for your Microsoft account), then go through the process above to link your Microsoft account to your existing Skype account."    - the process above is in the link at the start of my post here.
On the screen shots the bit where you link the account is a very small bit of text so follow it carefully.
I've not run through this myself but the instructions look fairly comprehensive.

  • Facebook and Skype accounts in WP messaging app

    Hello,
    I recently got a Lumia 925 where I have problem seeing my fb and skype contacts in the messaging app.
    The problem is only with my phone as when i log into outlook.com, I can see my skype and connected fb account contacts.
    When on my phone, only old messenger contacts appear as available to chat with.  (No FB, skype)
    Is there something I could try that may fix the problem?
    Thanks

    Hi ManosR,
    Anything happen prior to this concern? What are the troubleshooting that you tried to perform on your phone? How did you link these applications to your phone? For the Skype contacts, you will only see them if you are in the main Skype application. It will not be shown under the messaging thread. As per the Facebook contacts, make sure that your Facebook account is setup on the phone. You can check this by going to Setting > Email + Account > Check if your Facebook account is there. If not, you need to set it up from there.

  • Unauthorized charges and Skype account hacked into...

    Hi all-
    There were 2 times that my Skype account charged money to my username without me knowing, under the auto recharge, and this happened after a bunch of hacked text messages with a Russian phone number drained my Skype account of funds.  Now its saying my accoun is locked so obviously something is up.
    Has this ever happened to anyone else?  I've been trying to reach someone at Skype to discuss this and there is no contact info or fraud dept listed.  Please pass on any Skype corporate info you may have...
    thanks!

    Hi, Greggarry, and welcome to the Community,
    These types of reports typically appear on the Skype Account: Security, Privacy, Trust & Safety message board.  To release your account, you will need to contact Skype Customer Service, as you know.  Once you have your account restored, change the password as well as that of the saved payment method you have on file.  You may also consider contacting the payment method issuer to report the fraudulent purchases; most credit card companies do not hold their customers liable for fraudulent payments if reported shortly after the incident.
    Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    A few more notes to guide you along the way ...
    You will need to proceed through each step, one at a time. Sign on to the Skype website as requested. Choose the subject and topic which most closely matches the item you need assistance with. Then, continue past Step 2 of the instruction where several articles from the FAQ library will appear for you to review, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request (the blue "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip through Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started. When you complete the webform and click Submit, your information is relayed to Skype and you will receive a reply via e-mail.
    If you are a Skype Premium or other eligible customer, you will be routed to start an instant message chat session with a Customer Service agent.

  • Theft of phone and skype account still being used!...

    Hi.
    My wifes phone was stolen on th 19th of April during a camping trip.
    We reported the theft to the police.
    I have gone onto skype today, and the account is still being used.
    My wife said the only two places skype is installed is on her stolen phone and on her laptop, which isn't on at the moment as she is at work!!
    So whoever stole the phone is using the skype account right now!!!
    I need to find out the IP addresses that have been logged against the user [Redacted for privacy] since the 19th of April.
    I have tried to email support, but the contact form keeps giving an error, so please someone respond as soon as possible so I can relay info to the police please!!
    Kind regards,
    Glenn.

    Hi, Glenn, and welcome to the Community,
    These two commands, when entered into a chat window, may prove helpful:
    /remotelogout
    Sign out all other instances except the current one. This will also stop push notifications on all other instances.
    /showplaces
    Lists other instances where this Skype name is currently signed in.
    Important: Always make sure you are using the latest version of Skype. Some of these commands may not be supported in older versions.
    Here is a link to the original FAQ article:
    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10042/what-are-chat-commands-and-roles?
    If your wife still has access to her account, she should consider signing on to her account details and removing any saved payment methods on file. 
    Skype does not release IP addresses except upon request from law enforcement agencies, who can file to receive this information via official channels.
    Regards,
    Elaine

  • IPad not linking to correct Skype account

    I have a premium Skype account and just purchased a new iPad and downloaded the Skype app but it did not link to my premium account and I can't seem to correct this even when I log in with the correct user information.  I spent over 90 minutes on chat with Skype and they could not even figure out what my question was (very sad) but since I already paid for this, I would like to use it.  Any ideas here?
    Thanks!

    HI,
    The lInkedButton always links items to the Primary Key.
    It means, that the documents the DocEntry field is linked! Not the DocNum !
    If you have a multiple document numering, or more series defined over the same time/period/year, you have to cover the linkto property by the following:
    execute the following query to check the DocEntry and Docnum field:
    SELECT *  FROM NNM1 T0 WHERE T0.[ObjectCode]  = '22' -- Document numbering
    select DocNum, DocEntry from OPOR  -- DocNum and DocEntry relationShip
    Select * from
    So  do the following:
    1. Create an EditText for DocNUm and DocEntry
    2. Hide the docentry textbox (left = -20000)
    3. Set the linkto Property into the DocEntry Item ID
    4. USe CFL to get the DocEntry and DocNUm field values (use can use database field names getting the value when you receiving data from chooseFromList Event
    Now you are correct.
    Regards,

  • My paypal linked to others skype account

    Hi, I was at my neighbor and he couldn't recharge his Skype account with his credit card so I told him that I could recharge it with my paypal account. I accidentally select to auto recharge.
    I wanted to cancel that auto but skype said to me to go to my paypal account and cancel that.
    So, when I came home I canceled that at my paypal and now is written inactive in paypal next to skype agreement.
    My question would be: Are any of my informations like email or paypal password stored in his skype account? Is canceling in paypal everything I had to do? Can he still see my password? Are my paypal and his skype still linked?
    Should I be worried?

    Hi, tiger_1ily, and welcome to the Community,
    It never ceases to amaze me that people do this!  Since your e-mail address is the account's registered e-mail address, you may change the account password at any time to establish access to and/or take control of it.  Here's how:  https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA95/how-do-i-cha​nge-my-password
    You may also contact Skype Customer Service, however you would need the password to do this - or create yet another account which evidently you have no need for!  I recommend changing the password on the account you did not want to begin with, and then please contact Skype customer service to delete the Skype account'
    Those blue links will take you to the instructions needed.

  • Need to link two separate Skype accounts

    I signed up for a Skype account with my Microsoft account but forgot I already had an old account with my exact name.  So now I have two different Skype accounts and would like to merge them and keep the old account that has my full name, "JaneDoe". 
    My old account:  JaneDoe
    My new account:  live:janed_1
    Yes, when I signed up with my Microsoft account I did not select the option to merge the accounts.  HOW CAN I GET BACK THE OPTION TO MERGE ACCOUNTS?  I've spent hours looking through community posts and it seems as though there is no solution.

    First try to unlink your generated Skype account (live:xxxx) from your Microsoft account.
    Try login into Skype profile website with your Microsoft account details, then go to the Microsoft account section and click Unlink.
    You can now re-merge your old Skype account with your Microsoft account.
    Try login into Skype with your microsoft credentials.
    select "Alternatively, sign in with Microsoft account" option.
    You"ll see the merge wizard. Select I have a Skype account.

  • Have Ipad, FB account and Skype account, now what

    Need help, have Ipad, skype and FB accounts, one person said SIGN in to your skype acct using FB, dont know how to do that, it is NOT an option on the skype button
    I do NOT have a skype number nor does the person i wanna talk to but we both have skype accts
    The person I want to talk to is a friend on FB
    So what do we do?
    step by step, please, dont assume I know anything because I dont, thanks

    They are, however the Facebook website can have certain web Apps incorporated into or configured for it. Like games, and Birthday Calendar etc... One of those is Skype for Facebook.
    http://apps.facebook.com/skype/
    2 things to note here:
    1. Not sure if it will work on an iPad as it probably uses either Flash or Java which are not supported by Apple
    mobile devices (iPad, iPhone.  iPod Touch)
    2. The desktop versions of the Skype application do offer the Facebook integration according to Skype's own website.
    http://www.skype.com/en/features/skype-to-facebook/
    what is partially confusing is if i create it on pc and then go to my iphone and download the app would i sign into the account i creeated on a pc ?
    Yes. The account is universal. You create one accopunt and sign in to it in whichever device you want to use to Skype.  This allows you to have your contacts on all the devices because they are assigned to that particular account.

  • Re: Unauthorized charges and Skype account hacked ...

    I have been hacked and lost money but cannot seem to get any help from Skype - how do you get the money back. I have cancelled my paypal accout and cancelled my credit card - skype just keep sending a repeat email saying how sorry they are.
    Do I take them to court?
    it is a rip off! I am furious with them as they just do not care - no one seems to want ot help and apparently they do not talk to customers.
    Any guidance gratefully recieved.

    If you experience difficulty contacting Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented.
    Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.
    Last and not least, when you reach the last step of the process, remember to click on the "Start Chat" link when you are provided the choice of visiting the Community or starting an instant message chat with a customer service agent.

  • Got scammed and Skype account seems wiped.

    Hi Skypers,
    I got scammed last year for XXXX$. Before you guys yell at me I understand that it's my fault alone, so yeah. I just wanted to know if a moderator can see when I last logged in or if somebody logged in from another location because I recently have been called by the company I owe the money to that it has to be soon or they'll charge more.
    I was also wondering if anyone or me logged into my account would they be able to wipe my history, conversations, etc. Because the company that "I" owe money would gladly have that conversation to use against the scammer. Is there anyway I can get my message history back or have the recent updates removed that future?
    Sincerely,
    Sad MortenseNN

    Hi, Sad MortenseNN, and welcome to the Community,
    Confirming the Community's Moderators have no access to the information you seek.  You would need to file with your local law enforcement agency, who could in turn request the information upon request to Skype in an effort to further their investigation.  The police know how to contact Skype via official channels.
    You will need to create a new account in order to contact Skype Customer Service to recover your first account, as odd as that sounds.  Skype Customer Service may be able to restore your account data and contact list.
    Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service

  • Unable to link BestBuy and MyBestBuy accounts

    Looks like other people required support assistance with this issue too.
    The BestBuy account can see my rewards account but when it tells me to check my email, I have no email. Tried this a few weeks ago too. One person you guys helped you said he'd been added to the email opt-out list and hadn't been receiving any emails. Another one was marked as undeliverable.
    I hope mine is just as easy... I get all of my emails from BestBuy including certificate notifications.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi TomServo, and welcome to the Best Buy forum!
    I would be more than happy to look over your account and see what I might be able to do to help you link your accounts.  Before I can do that though, I am going to need a bit of information from you.  I will be sending you a private message so that I can gather that information and go over your account with you.  To check your private messages, you would want to login to the forum first and then click on the yellow envelope at the top of the page.

  • My skype account is linking to someone else. How d...

    It seems to be a problem with Facebook connection.
    My Facebook ID is linked to my skype account.
    I tried sending a message to a friend and the message comes to me.
    Now, other people that send messages to her, it seems to come to my account.
    How do I fix this?

    Please disconnect your Facebook account from your Skype one:

    Then connect again. Might be a wrong login was active on Facebook while you set up the initial link.

  • How can I link 2 skype accounts

    I have 2 skype accounts. How can I link it and have only 1 skype account?

    You are right. Linking two different Skype accounts is not possible.

  • Getting contacts in my Skype account that I didn't...

    I use the Skype app on my Windows 8 Laptop. For the past 2 months, random contacts have been appearing in my Skype contact list. I never added these contacts nor did I received a request to be added. These contacts were just added without my consent or knowledge. Ironically, the contacts are of old classmates of mine. But still, I am not sure why random contacts are being added. My Skype account is only linked to my Microsoft account. Years ago, it was linked to my Facebook account but I delink it and deleted my Facebook account years ago.
    So far 3 contacts have been added. And I manually had to delete all 3. Since I opened Skype several years ago, I have changed my email recently. The new email that is linked to my Skype account is a new account and I removed the old email account that I opened Skype with. And no one has the new email so it is not possible that they are searching for me with my old or new email.

  • Have a Skype account on my desktop but can't sign ...

    I'm not very tech savvy so here's the problem.  I have Skype on my desktop and sign in using my Facebook account.  I got a Kindle Fire HD for Yule and have the Skype app.  When I try to sign in using my Skype name (Facebook email) and my password (Facebook password) it says I need to check my information.  I've entered my Skype name exactly as it appears at the top of my Skype page and entered the password exactly as I use it to sign into Facebook.  I'm frustrated.  I have no trouble accessing Facebook on my Kindle, as is true for Twitter and other sites.  It's only Skype that won't let me sign in and gain access on the Kindle.  I do have my Facebook account linked to my Skype account on the desktop, if that makes any difference.  Anyone have any suggestions?  I could use some help!  Thanks!!!

    What were you doing when the window popped up? Do you have a DVD in the drive or  have you plugged in any flash drives or other disks?
    What programs are running?
    It's really difficult to say for certain what this is.  I would recommend you restart your machine. But if any applications stop the shutdown then make a note of which application it is and post back.
    Otherwise if the reboot goes ok and the machine comes up without that window it's safe to chalk it up to gremlins and hopefully it won;t come back.
    As I said if the shutdown is stopped or the window appears again, post back.
