Skype keeps making me automatically invisible
I keep getting made invisible automatically by skype. It doesn't even appear to happen at consistent intervals. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all, sometimes it happens every 5 seconds. I don't want this to happen, but I can't find an option to disable it. Does anybody know if it's possible to disable the invisible status or prevent the timer at all? Or is there a hotkey that I am inadvertently pressing that activates invisible mode?
Thanks.
Solution 1:
This could happen when you're logged into your account using multiple devices, so the statuses could be not in sync.
For workaround there are some cloud-based chat commands which allows you to see where you're logged in and you can logout from the remote sessions.
- Create an empty conversation.
-
Type command in the message textbox:
/showplaces
Lists other endpoints that can receive push notifications for calls and IMs for this Skype account.
-
If you want to logout from remote online endpoints, then execute:
/remotelogout
Sign out all other instances except the current one. This will also stop push notifications on all other instances.
