I absolutely dislike Skype interviews. Phone too. Would rather they be in my living room with me slouched on the ole couch with beer in hand, puffing a Marlboro light 100. And interviewer in straight back, not so comfy chair "Perspiration" rolling down his cheeks. Hoo rah

@CarterTemm @PolarLights7 @Skype Oh my goodness! Thanks for the heads up! Skype's only going down hill, not up.

@Skype @JuliaBramble Thanks so much for offering to help Julia. I had a similar issue recently with Skype on Mac. But it seems to have resolved itself for me but not for Julia.

@SkypeSupport Hi! I set up my account about 12 years ago so it has really old email addresses. That’s part of the problem and why I couldn’t recover. So I went through the massive recovery process form which is hard when you don’t have access to your account, and filled it in as best I could.

@NickGarnettBBC @timoncheese For some reason I don’t think I’ve ever conducted a Skype/FaceTime interview on BBC local radio without it sounding appalling! Some compatibility issue, I guess

Shout-out to Google Voice for consistently getting stable calls through while I am traveling on spotty WiFi and 2G cell service. WhatsApp and Skype often fail buy Google Voice is a champ.

@KayFKeane One lady was bought a tablet by her granddaughter. (Not the pharmaceutical kind!) and she was helped to use it. we don’t see her in the surgery any more because she can skype her family in Australia. The issue was that she was isolated and lonely. #communitywellbeing

@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

@SkypeSupport using on PC and Android phone both. No error.. just no answer and see that social media blocked in Sri Lanka because of terrorist activities. Not sure if skype blocked but nothing from my friend on skype.

We're fixing to have a Skype interview with a @UTexasMcCombs accounting student. Fingers are crossed that we don't embarrass ourselves again with silly technical issues this time!

Going from gaming, streaming, and using discord at the same time no problem in college, to having my skype call drop 1617372773 times with Gracen, and having my games rubber band til i die really shows me how spoiled I was with LSU's internet

@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!
