Skype keeps tabbing me out of games.

When i am playing games in fullscreen and a person joins or leaves the call i get tabbed out. I've seen MANY threads about this issue and several are years old. Still havent seen any skype dev answering or doing anything about this problem. Whats up with that?

I and everyone I know and has ever known has the same issue. It's so goddamn annoying. Today I played on my hardcore Diablo 3 character when my mate hung up our skype call. I was in the middle of a difficult fight when this happened and of course my Skype tabs out - and I die... For those of you who don't know, playing Diablo 3 hardcore mode means that when you die once with your character, he's gone. And this is a common problem and it happens everytime someone gets added to the call as well. This basically means that you can't play games on your computer when you use Skype. I personally thought that Skype aimed towards being a suitable option for gamers but this is clearly a step in the other direction.
After what happened today I am seriously starting to lose my mind and seeing that you guys are not even answering questions in your own forums might do it.

Jonatan

  • Skype keeps logging me out after windows 10 update

    Ever since I updated to Windows 10 a few days ago, skype keeps logging me out after 10 min or so.  I read other posts all which suggested unlinking your account from your microsoft and/or Facebook account, which I tried but it didnt help.  I am not linked to either of them.  I am using the desktop version of Skype, not the windows app.  I never had any problems before this windos 10 upgrade.  Any ideas?

  • I keep getting kicked out of games.

    I keep getting kicked out of my games.  Just got a replacement iPad

    What have you tried to fix it ? Have you tried closing all apps via the iPad's taskbar and then doing a soft-reset and seeing if that makes any difference ?
    To close all apps, double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar. (With iOS 7 you swipe or drag an app's screen from the taskbar up and off the top of the screen to close it.)
    A soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Skype keeps logging me out

    Very randomly and now very frequently i get logged out and i have to log back in.
    First i was signing in with my microsoft account. I thought that could be the reason.
    Then i decided to use my Skype login. Even that made no difference.
    Is there an official response from Microsoft on this problem?
    Version: 6.21.0.104
    Windows 7
    thanks

  • Skype keeps signing me out on my iPad 2

    I would like to leave my Skype account logged in so people can reach me, however the app keeps signing me out after I switch to another application. I never used to have this problem, but it is interfering with my keeping in touch with out-of-country friends.
    I have up-to-date iOS and Skype app. All I want is a solution to my account being automatically logged out when it used to allow me to stay logged in (even in the background) until *I chose to log out*...

    Please notice there is two different issues here. The constantly logging out issues is already in many other treads, please keep them alive there.<br>What this guy asking is the same problem I have, and it is not a new issue:<br><br>When using the newest Skype on IPad 2, it is only logged in when you are in the app. Shortly after you start using another app Skype is logging out. Result; you can only use Skype for IPad if that is the only thing you are using your IPad for.<br><br>In other words you cannot get calls or live chat except you know it will be coming. This practically makes Skype useless.<br><br>Any idea of a soultion or whatever microsoft know it is an issue?<br><br>(The soultion is to divert all calls to your phone and tranfer chat as text message, but it is not free)

  • Skype keeps getting logged out on desktop when ope...

    Does anyone have an idea why my skype (desk top program) signs me out when I open Outlook in a web browser to check my email? I've searched and searched and can't find a setting to undo this behavior. It has only started today. 

    This is happening to me and a friend. Neither of us can use the Skype plugin for Outlook, and when I attempt to sign in to chat in Outlook, the Skype client is logged out. No Skype icon appears in "conneced to" (the only thing that does appear is Messenger), and Skype is not listed under neither "connected accounts" nor the list of apps that are able to link with Outlook. Clearly, since the browser instance does disconnect the client automatically, there is still something in the browser which does attempt to connect to Skype, but it is not at all functioning like intended.
    For the record, my friend and I both prefer to run the browser plugin over the client because the client takes up far too much CPU. This issue over the last couple of days has made that impossible, leaving me to find Outlook mostly useless (since I created that account specifically because of Skype's ability to hook into it).

  • Keep getting kicked out of game. MechWarrior:Online

    I have a problem where I will try and start a match in MechWarrior Online, I will get an extended black screen, then it will kick me back into the mechlab. I have spent months asking PGI (MWO's developer) to help me to no avail.
    Tonight I noticed that as soon as midnight came (my time, central time) I got booted out of 3 matches in a row.  My suspicion is that Verizon is diverting resources away from my internet hookup after midnight. Thoughts? anyone have any solutions?

    Your not the only one man. I was consistently getting 25 ping for months, and now lately starting in december I get 100-135 ping occasionally especially on the weekends.. My traceroute shows a bad hop to a german server. Why am I routed through germany to get to toronto from NYC? This was mind boggling for even the verizon techs. Totally mysterious.
    But besides that it seems the circuit on that router is having load issues. Verizon keeps claiming that PGI is not paying for enough bandwidth, but I don't believe thats true, unless they have a special deal with the other companies that are hops before their own ISP.
    Below you can see some traceroutes when I am receiving the bad ping:

    GOING FROM NY TO GERMANY TO ATLANTA AND BACK TO NY TO GET TO TORONTO CANADA!?!?!?!
     It must be verizon's sick joke.
    ] I have emailed the German admin for the bad hop in question, which Verizon unprofessionally has asked me to do,   and have received no reply back. I think its absurd for verizon to ask me to do this and naive to expect any reply back.
    This seems to have been a problem also back in January as you can see from this forum post. http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Routing-Latency-issues/td-p/525091
    And this one on MWO. http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/91680-higher-ping-times-after-patch/page__st__80
    Apparently verizon finally fixed the trouble circuit. I was hoping they would do the same for me, but I'm not important enough...Or maybe they never really did fix the issue,  because it seems none of those guys play the game anymore ...  In that thread it seems some have left verizon as well.   Time warner and Comcast satellite are not having this issue apparenlty.

  • Skype keeps signing me out and back in

     This problem has been happening to me for about two weeks.Everytime i log into skype the blue circle keeps on spinning. and about every 10 second i go online and then offline. I've already tried deleting the program and redownloading skype  and the same problem happens. i keep signing out and signing in. This problem started happening when i downloaded skype on my Phone (android smartphone). I only used skype on my phone once and after that I deleted it ever since then it hasn't been working.  

    It's possible that this may be a connection problem; I've had problems like this before, and they stopped after I changed internet connections. Try using this site to test your internet speed. Skype needs about 30kps for regular calls, so I'd assume if it's even slower than that, it may be your connection. You can try using a friend's wifi or some sort of public wifi to test this theory.

  • Skype keeps signing me out.

    Alright, I'm going to be as detailed as possible. I tried searching for a thread of a similar problem and couldn't find any but I do apologize if there is one and I just didn't look hard enough.
    I've tried uninstalling then reinstalling. I've tried uninstalling, completely removing all skype data and such, then reinstalling. I've tried that and restarting my computer and nothing works. It's also interesting to note that everytime I redownload and run it's automatically in Japanese. I always have to go in and put language to English, and even then, when I first run skype after set up, it reverts back to Japanese until I sign in again... Which lasts for about 2 seconds before I am automatically signed out. I've already made sure that my region and language on my pc is set to English, US. Also, I've reset IE and that hasn't worked either. If anyone has any idea how to fix this, your help would be greatly appreciated! I'm running Windows 7.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try to reset all Skype settings.
    Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
    If you are on the latest Skype 6.5/6.6/6.7/6.9/6.10/6.11 version, then do also this:
    Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
    Restart Skype.
    N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

  • Skype keeps signing me out on all platforms...

    When I sign in with Skype, I get signed in for just a few second. (Mostly) I see the list names of my Skype Contacts (so it's really my account) and then Skype signs my out automatically and I get a Skype screen telling me that I'm signed out.
    I tried to sign in on my laptop with Windows 7, my desktop PC with Windows 8, on a PC with Linux and on my tablet with Android 4.4 KitKat. They all have the latest version of Skype installed.
    It doesn't make any difference if I try to sign in with my Skype Name and password or with my Facebook-account.
    However I can sign into my account with a web-browser on the Skype website with my Skype Name and password.
    Can there be something wrong with my Skype Account?
    Please help!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This problem is solved by doing this (earier post from Akyll):
    Please unlink your Microsoft account to your Skype account.
    To unlink your Skype and Microsoft or Facebook accounts:
    Sign in to your account.
    In the Account details section, click Account settings.
    In the Linked accounts section, click Unlink next to your Microsoft or Facebook account ID.
    An information window opens.
    If you had a previous Skype account, read the information and, if you agree, select Continue to unlink your Skype and Microsoft or Facebook accounts.
    Thanks Akyll! Your sollution was a great help to me.
