Skype - Can't see what I send/receive.

MikePT

Tried:

• Reinstalling Skype
• Updating computer
• Clock is sync

Any idea, or any of you experiencing this?
Does this happen temporarly or something?

Which OS, which Skype version?

I have a few bugs in my Linux version 4.3.0.37, like not being able to share screen or have group chats.

Might be worth taking a look at web.skype.com and seeing if the issue also happens there - although I've never had it happen to me.

Windows 10 @ Skype for Desktop, latest version.

Forgot to specify the OS, sorry.

Group chats are not available (audio works/no video) on the Linux Skype client.

@MrGeneral: Try a cleanup with CCleaner and then reinstall Skype. Skype leaves all kinds of stuff on your drives/registry even after uninstalling.

Yea, I was pointed to an alternate beta version that is supposed to work well. Haven't found out if that's the case.

You can try this one https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/messaging-skype/9wzdncrfjbq6 if you really need to use skype before you fix the desktop one.

I had this issue before. I have no idea what I did to make it work, but it did.

Uninstall Skype and use another piece of software.

Sorry it's not an answer but honestly Skype is a lost cause now a days

StackNetwork

it's fine for me (after last update) in windows 10

We use Slack too, but my clients don't come to our Slack. They'll fix this today, hopefully!

We are currently investigating a problem where messages sent are received by recipients but senders cant see them after sending. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working on fixing this. We will let you know when the issue has been resolved.

[UPDATE Sep 21, 2016 20:00 GMT]: The issue has been fully resolved
