I am trying to recover my Skype account using my Skype ID. However, when I input my email address, it sends me to my old Skype account. How can I recover my Skype account using my Skype ID?

    Hi @Jowan saadati

    Are you using Skype or Skype for Business?

    Did you delete this account before?
