@Skype Fantastic, thank you - had some hardware issues on a borrowed laptop (I’m not very good at tech!) but I just switched over to the app on my phone and it worked wonderfully with great video/audio quality and no glitches 👌🏼

@fionapup ...if it's _not_ hardware related, you can have a friend (or even me!) log into your box via Team Viewer, and look at the system's behavior and load together. Add voice chat via Skype or Discord, I'd be up for it, and we might find and or even fix stuff. If it doesn't fix itself!

@jathko @ianlasch This is all so weird. So weird. I don't want to try to do this in tweets, but if you ever want to Skype I'm down for it

@morganlinton I am a very happy Zoom customer Great investment They did what Skype, Hangouts, WebEx & the rest failed @ Build scalable, foolproof, cloud based, videoconf system that works EVERYTIME! Never have had trouble with connections, QoS, nothing Only when participants lines go down

@WisdomToothDog @72stroopwafels Yes! That happened to me on my first few Skype lessons with a tutor (after a few months of hard study to get some basics down). I'd just go blank! Or be so focused on the few earlier words I recognized that I'd miss the rest of the sentence... So stressful!

@theboydigital .... But then @Microsoft acquired @Skype and the product quality went down the toilet, leaving a massive need in the market for @zoom_us I reckon the same could happen with @LinkedIn well for those that don't need recruiters and outsource dev studios spamming you.

Too many Skype/Team service degradation advisories from Microsoft within this month alone. What's going on.

@SkypeSupport It turned out to be a bank credit card issue and not Skype, but the support person was very helpful in showing me how to update the payment options. Thanks!

@xtofl @soylentgraham @ederstoico @rick_west8 I learned that synchronous tutoring provided the most benefit. A quick 1 on 1 skype/hangouts call and a walkthrough why someone uses a given approach, what are the upsides of alternate solutions, or brainstorm to quickly unblock someone stuck on a complex problem

Looks like resource accounts isn’t functional in Teams admin center either @Office365. Can’t assign service numbers in the Skype admin center too.

Just had a phone call with a client via zoom on my home Uber pc. Because of security restrictions he had to use Skype for business . Much worse audio and terrible picture quality on the same setup . Skype for business is awful (at least for external folk)
