When she was about 3/4 yrs old he promised to video call her every wednesday. He did good for like three weeks and then started ghosting and making excuses. For months my kid would sit on the stairs near the study waiting to hear that skype call that never came. Broke me down.

Today for me isn't about TV or Wordpress. It's about Whatsapp, Instagram and Skype. I need proper rest. 4 years this ************ was up on me every single second with this ******* excuse of putting America First. I put my American connections first a whole lot. Gotta fix that.

@whitequark there was that kind of brief period in the late 2000's where you could login to facebook messenger, google chat etc via XMPP. Even up to 2015 I was logging in to Lync/Skype for Business with pidgin which worked well for chat

@reallyottawa @CBCNews I do it through Skype, I honestly don't know why they have that problem, I hope there is a solution or something to help them feel better, sucks to work that way.

Discord is, by a wide margin, the most confusing chat app I've ever used. And that's saying something, since there are quite a lot of them out there that have all kinds of weird quirks and issues, including Hangouts, Apple Messages, Skype, etc.

Was there a reason to fly Emily Maitlis to Washington to sit outside and do Skype interviews? Not a funding issue but a pandemic issue.#NewsNight

What I've learned taking a million Zoom/Skype/Google conference calls this past year: If I pull my COVID hair up I always get a lot of "oh wow" type comments. But if I leave it down they either say nothing or even say that I'm looking well! I figured it would be the opposite!

"oops something went wrong" has to be the most pathetically useless error message I've ever seen. Sort it out, skype.

@WrestlingClio is it consistent? I’ve had that on Skype before and usually the problem is fixed by hanging up and reconnecting

Can anyone help w/ my @Skype settings? Because I'm ready to snap! The text, and my contacts are now so small I can barely read them. I hold down control & tap plus and NOTHING! I accidentally clicked on the wrong screen & minimized this POS to the point where it's unreadable!

@PeeBeeJayBee yeah here teaching uses Teams, admin uses Blackboard Collaboration, HR uses skype for business, colleagues use Zoom. zoom seems to be the most trouble-free of the lot, though at this point I don't know if that's saying much

@deonandan Bad lighting, weird backgrounds, sound problems, not knowing how to upload official event backgrounds or how to share Powerpoint slides without sharing their whole screen. Also, some people have trouble with Zoom because they don't use it often or have been using Skype/Teams.
