Touchpad - Sign out of Skype

How do you sign out of Skype on the HP touchpad? Am I completely missing something? It seems the only way to NOT recieve messages on the Touchpad from skype is to remove the account from my Accounts? Then it says it removes all my data related to skype...why isn't there simply a sign-out function, or am I just missing it somewhere?
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

I think when you select online or busy in the chat client, the Touchpad signs into all of the configured IM accounts. If you open the chat client and select "offline" I think it signs out of Skype (along with everything else).
This behavior annoyed me enough on the Pre that I installed a different chat client (IM+) that allowed for finer-grained control over which services were online/offline.

This message, "You have been signed out of Skype, please sign into an Xbox account to use Skype." has been coming up whenever I've been trying to sign into Skype on the Xbox One...Not sure what happened but all it's giving me is the "Sign in" button, but all it does is just loop me back to the same message... Please help.
Solved!

This took me forever to work out but what you need to do is merge your xbox live account and skype account. You can't do it on the Xbox because of the loop so you have to do it on your PC or Laptop.
If you have Windows 7 just follow these directions:

If you have windows 8 just follow these directions:

I hope this works for all of you and merges your accounts properly because it was doing my head in. It worked for me and then I could just sign straight into my Skype on Xbox One.

How sign out of Skype on iPad (IOS 8)?

I cannot figure out how to sign out of Skype (or sign in with a different account) on my iPad. The old profile page had the option, but the updated Skype (there is no indication of any version number on the iPad, or none I can find) doesn't seem to have it.
Please don't tell me I have to to shut down and reboot !

Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap your Old Apple ID > Tap Sign out.

Hi, alanorihuela, and welcome to the Community,
In the Windows desktop version of the software, to sign out, click on:
Skype -> Sign Out.
You may also shut down Skype completely by right-clicking on the Skype icon and clicking Quit Skype.

Getting Signed out of Skype when using Messenger i...

I am not sure what triggers this exactly, but navigating through OneDrive website would sometimes sign me out of the Skype for Windows Desktop client (running in Windows 7, version 6.14).
It seems to be involved with opening and closing the Messenger pane in OneDrive. If I open the Messenger pane, it signs into my Skype account (resulting in my Skype account being signed in to two places). After I close the pane, some time later, my Skype desktop client gets signed out.
Even if my account is signed out in the Messenger pane of OneDrive, I expect my Skype desktop client to remain signed in. When I sign in and out of my Android client, I do not experience any sign outs or problems with the desktop client, which is the correct behavior.
Is this problem new or well-known?

Basically, i have my skype signed in on someone elses phone and i was just wondering if i change my password will that then sign them out or will they stay signed on? If they stay signed on is there anything i can do to make them sign out?

Hi, Ben.Lunn, and welcome to the Community,
Changing your account password will force a sign-off, however you can also type these two chat commands in any open instant message chat:
/showplaces
Lists other instances where this Skype name is currently signed in.
/remotelogout
Sign out all other instances except the current one. This will also stop push notifications on all other instances.

Elaine

Why do I get Skype messages, when I am signed out?

I am signed into Skype on my Windows laptop.
Skype is signed out and closed on my iPhone. Same on my iPad.
But on my iPhone I am still getting IM messages from Skype when someone sends me a message - do I need to disable something in the iPhone??

hi! i need help this past two days suddenly my skype went to log.out and im trying to sign in, it says that my skype account is already sign in on this computer, in order to sign in i have to sign out my skype first.. how???? i try to uninstall and install again..still same..
"WE CANT OPEN SKYPE, YOU ARE ALREADY SIGN IN ON THIS COMPUTER. PLEASE SIGN oUT AND TRY TO SIGN IN AGAIN" how can i do that if i cant acces on my skype??? please help me.. im using windos 8..

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.
Next 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.

Does Skype on Android ever sign out?

I have been having a multitude of problems with Skype on both Android and Windows, I'll stick with Android here. System Specs:Samsung Galaxy SIII (Sprint)Model SPH-L710Stock ROMAndroid Version 4.1.2 Oftentimes I will receive messages marked as having been sent 'now' when in fact they were sent at a previous time and I already saw them on my Windows client. It's a minor issue, but slightly frustrating when trying to keep a conversation in order. Signing out... Where to start? Does Skype ever sign out properly on an Android handset? I will very often receive notifications about missed messages when I know for a fact that I had signed out of Skype. Here is a screenshot showing my notification bar when I am signed into Skype: The Skype icon is visible, and filled in. Obviously I am signed in. Ok, no problems here. Now here is a screenshot of of a message notification. You might notice something is missing:
That's right. I am now receiving message notifications while I am not signed into Skype on my phone. This is really annoying, and mildy creepy. There really is no rhyme or reason I can discern as to when or why I receive message notifications while being 'signed out'. I get them after signing out. I get them before signing in. Hell, sometimes I get them as soon as I reboot my phone and I am definitely not signed in then. Another problem I have been having, but I don't have any screenshot for yet, is that Skype will tell me that either I or the person I am talking to has added other people to conversation who we've previously had group conversations with. Neither I or the other party has actually done this though, and the person that is added doesn't seem to be receiving any of the messages. Very weird buggy stuff for what is supposed to be a mature application. This really sucks for me because I've been trying like mad to find a decent unified messaging program since I use Android on the go, Windows at home and work, and my girlfriend has an iPhone. Skype seemed like a great idea, I even plunked down for the premium subscription for the extra goodies (which I feel are a ripoff since most of them were free at some point, but that's another story for another day) - Apparently it isn't as great an idea as I thought it was. C'mon Microsoft. It's 2013. Instant messenger capabilities have been around for well over a decade now. What's the issue? Why is it so hard to find an application that will allow me to chat across different popular OSs without all sorts of funky issues? That I pay for this just makes it all the more frustrating. Anyone else having problems like these? Any remedies?

Hi Alura, Father Christmas rewards little girls with patience and persistence, qualities he greatly admires - Merry (foot-washing) Christmas I had a problem similar to yours with Skype 4.5. Reverting to this more reliable older Skype 4.0.0.22082 version, resolved the problem for many of us with smart-phones. Others, usually with tablets, reported that Skype 3.2.0.6673, better suited their needs. If you have a smart-phone, tap the link of the former Skype, or the latter if you have a tablet. If your first choice does not meet your needs, the other would be worth trying. Before tapping the downloaded apk file to install the selected Skype, uninstall the current Skype, disable the Play Store “Auto-update apps” option, and enable the Android Settings (from) “Unknown sources” option. Once installed, disable the “Unknown sources” option. Be sure to try any future Skype release, indicated by a change of release date on the Google Play Store Skype “UPDATE” page. If the new Skype is unsatisfactory, revert to the older Skype using the saved apk file. You can choose an even earlier Skype version if you feel that this would be beneficial. To date. I have not experienced any security problems with any of the above web links. Please be sure to post another reply to let me know how you go with the installation. I should be able to help you if you encounter difficulties. If you have not already done so, you should create a good Android issue report here to help Skype improve future versions. I am sure that a Private Message to Claudius, letting him know where your report is, would be a nice surprise, and really make his day Regards, BGW.514

Please fix the non-existent Sign Out

Is there going to be any update so that you can sign out of Skype on Xbox One? Its pretty ridiculous that you can't, I've had to go into my privacy settings and make it so no one can message me just so that Skype is disabled. I would love to use it on Xbox One cause its a great feature, but lot's of people use my TV, family, friends, etc. and there is no way I'm leaving it turned on all the time. I think this has got to be one of the most annoying design decisions I've ever seen for a communication app.

Thanks (and kudos) for you detailed feedback, @JLLP . Your detailed use cas description is helpful to scope the features to potentially better support it in the future.
For the time being you might want to look at these Xbox One features:
Settings - "Sign in, security & passkey": Set up a passkye here as requirement to sign in. You can conveniently enter that using your controller even while others are watching the Xbox dashboard screen
Settings - Preferences: You can uncheck "Show Skype notifications" there each time you move away from your Xbox. Not really convenient long term as you need to remember to re-enable the feature each time you return to your box. See next bullet point
With the Skype app open press the menu button on your XB1 controller and select "Settings". Open "Notifications" to configure your Skype notifications to only show for incoming calls. This might help you address the content privacy question.

Sign out option missing

Why can't you sign out of skype on xbox one? It has signed me in on an account I don't want to use.

Hi, there are two options:
1) In case you have signed into Xbox1/Skype unwanted MSA account, you can simply log into Xbox1 with the desired MSA account. You can do it in the upper left corner of Xbox1 Home screen
2) In case you merged wrong Skype account with your MSA when logging into Skype on Xbox1, you can unmerge those here https://secure.skype.com/portal/account/settings
Afterwards, when you sign into Skype on Xbox1 again, you will be able to merge another Skype account with that MSA

Skype signs me out straight away
This started happening yesterday 5/9/14 in the afternoon (GMT). I was so concerned about it that I actually rebooted my laptop AND made sure I had the latest version of Skype installed!
The solution, for me, was to log into the skype website and unlink my Microsoft account. I didn't have to do anything else, but could have changed my Microsoft account password instead of unlinking,
Why is this happening to so many people at the same time and why aren't skype being more open and pro-active about informing their users?
This is pure speculation on my part, but if I was investigating it I'd start by looking into the integration with Microsoft's identity servers. Microsoft's security settings invalidate passwords after a certain duration to prevent them getting stale, which fits the symptoms. Skype login is successful which triggers a connection with the identity server at Microsoft, which fails, triggering a skype logout.
Whatever the cause, I do wish Skype would let everyone there's an unexpected issue and users should NOT PANIC. Being logged-out does not your comprimise security, it just stops you using skype!

Password lost if I 'sign out' rather than 'quit'

Hi all,
I'm new to all this so apologies if I should be in another conversation and/or this has been raised/solved earlier.
I am not overly enamoured with the product post Microsoft, and do fear for its future. However, today I am talking about passwords. I have passwords for applications pouring out of every orrifice....so....if I have it right, Skype does not retain my password if I just "sign out". To retain the password I need to "quit" Skype. If instead I "sign out", Skype will not let me back in withought entering my password. I'm on Windows 7 o/s.
If I or anyone in this house 'signs out' of Skype, I will be prompted for my password on my next log in. Why is that....is it me not operating the system properly, or is it a poor system design issue??
Heck....I have too many passwords already. And Skype makes me choose yet another (new) one, as old passwords are barred.
How about this as a suggestion....Say I know my email address that I created the account under in the first place but have lost that password. Why not, at account creation, have say two user generated questions and user supplied answers that will allow a user to recover an existing password and continue to use it.
For example..
Q1. what is your mothers date of birth
Q2. name of your first school
Surely such questions/answers would allow many of us to retain a password and limit the number of them that we write down on paper or word docs,,, with such action's own attendant security issues!!!
Regards
David

You just need to open iPhoto on your iMac and move any photos in the Shared iCloud section (in the pane on the left of iPhoto) into an Event or Events if they already haven't been. Photos in Events are safe from any action by Photo Stream (iCloud).
It is possible that you already have set iPhoto to automatically move the photos into Events where they are safe. That setting is described in the quote below from iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
Also there is more information at iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
What happens to my photos if I turn off My Photo Stream?
If you sign out of iCloud or turn off My Photo Stream on an iOS device, all the images in My Photo Stream are removed from that device. The images in My Photo Stream on your other devices aren't affected. Images added to My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days from the date you added them to My Photo Stream. If you sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID and turn on My Photo Stream on another device, those photos will automatically download to this device.

Skype status stays [Online] after sign out

Hi
Recently my skype has left online when I sign out. Over night my skype was logged in.
I changed my password then went offline and asked a friend. They confirmed I was still logged in.
Any ideas?

I'm having the same issue. I use Skype for Windows and Skype for Android (on two devices). Even when I sign out on these devices and I turn them off and I also sign out and turn off my computer, all my friends confirms that I remain Online. It is not like for few minutes, I remain Online for all the time, I just never go offline. I tried to change my password like four times, I even try to reinstall Skype on all my devices and nothing changed. I'm starting to be a little scared. Could anyone help my please?
