Skype gives me problems

Welcome to the discussion on the challenges and solutions surrounding the use of Skype for webcam models. Participants in this thread have shared a variety of experiences, problems, and tips regarding Skype, especially in the context of conducting shows and maintaining privacy. Here’s a summary of the key points:

• Many users have faced issues with logging into Skype, attributed to recent updates that have altered the functionality and usability of the app. Some have suggested using the web version as a workaround, while others have experienced problems with the app on various operating systems.


• Creating new accounts has been a common suggestion for those unable to log in, though this has not been a foolproof solution for everyone. The frustration with repeated attempts and the impact on mood and business has been a significant concern.


• SkyPrivate was mentioned as a platform that integrates with Skype, allowing models to earn money per minute for Skype shows. It offers a solution to some of the technical issues by providing a compatible version of Skype that works with its plugin.


• Privacy concerns have been highlighted, especially with Skype's feature that suggests contacts. This has led to advice about keeping work and personal accounts separate to protect privacy.


• Downgrading to a previous version of Skype was suggested as a solution to overcome the problems caused by recent updates. This approach has reportedly worked for some users.


• There’s a strong emphasis on the legal implications of using Skype for adult content, especially in light of the SESTA/FOSTA legislation in the U.S. This legislation aims to combat sex trafficking but also affects how adult content can be shared online, including on platforms like Skype.


• Participants have shared their frustrations, advice, and support, offering practical solutions and emphasizing the importance of adapting to the changing online and legal landscape for webcam models.
