@joesimonssays @corbinasmith No. Skype for work purposes is terrible. One of my clients use Skype, and every week someone on the call had issues with it.

@ClareWheatGoo @carbischoral @DeliaTurnbull I had concerns about that initially but I believe those issues have been swiftly resolved... I’m not using it for piano teaching, am firmly sticking to familiar platforms such as Skype/FaceTime for that purpose.

@HelenFenton15 @LizDurrant19 @irisbenson100 As well as being a service user, I've also been a volunteer for 3 years. But in this difficult time stuck at home, I asked if any work I can get on with while at home, but nothing. Although I'm participating in a meeting next week (via Skype), so that's good, I need more of that.

So the optics are terrible and the opsec of using a personal cell phone or FT Zoom account unforgivable (this is what Skype numbers are literally for), but this isn’t a scandal and the reporter was definitely given the invite by employees who wanted accountability

I know Skype isn’t cool but the low latency on the service really helps conversations.

I’ve spent the last 45 minutes trying to help set up a Skype call between Nola and her friend from South Korea with limited English. I’m not sure Skype could be any harder to use.

@Estochen Fair enough. If someone were inviting you to Skype watching porn together I'm sure you'd have no problem telling them that's not your thing. Just tell them that's something you wouldn't enjoy, but thanks anyway.

@E7Drew @DrSarahJarvis @KOLRock17 Yes he has a care package in place & I had another best interest meeting last week via skype to try & get more help. A care home isn't viable (for obvious reasons). Its a nightmare scenario & desperately difficult to keep him & the people he's coming into contact with safe.

@Juzoer Yeah back in like the early 2010s when gaming youtube was really hitting it off everyone was using skype and youtubers were having crashes and connection errors all over the place with skype. Now everyone uses Discord. The clearer audio in voice chats was a huge improvement.

@SollusHealth @OreMMXVIII I got around 5 hours sleep. Not enough. I have a hypno session booked later (skype) to try to help my anxiety. #amshattered

. @cnbc you should require people to use zoom or something other than Skype ... Skype always seems to be a problem

@LtGovColeman @KyEdWorkforce @KyEdWorkforce @GovAndyBeshear I have noticed that the largest problem trying to get help with UI claims is that people who are trying to help us don't know how to help us. How about using Skype or a different conferencing solution that way people can be face to face...

Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype. They can all **** off. As soon as NZ opens up again, @cmcql and I are off for the weekend. Don't care where, so long as it is not anywhere that anyone who has ****** me off in the last 7 weeks lives, because I will probably burn their house down.

@marklevy2gb Here here. Anyone with concerns about privacy or tracking should also jump off Twitter, Facebook, Zoom, Skype, or any Google service, and stay home.
