@bt_uk complained several times about the poor internet connectivity- often kicked out of Skype calls whilst WFH - whenever you speak to a “technician” - everything seems to “be fine” - please guys do NOT be tied down to these cowboys!

We stopped gaming because DM who tries to cram too many styles into one game and Player who can't say no to D&D forgot the terrible secret of whether or not *magical bird damage* is a thing. It all went down on Skype.

Are there any issues with podcast recording software on an M1 Mac? Call Recorder? Skype? Zoom? Going to start using an M1 Mac Mini tomorrow and would be good to know beforehand if there are any software issues.

@beckymagner @Phil_Lewis_ @MollyJongFast This was a time when everyone used Skype for family calls only, zoom want even invented. A time when we didn’t care if our kids got mowed down by ‘baby vehicles’. We were a cruel, heartless society. I hope the universe forgives us.

Social media post is definitely not the place to talk about serious issues. The messages become scrambled in an attempt to respond to each other. Skype, FB live Chat, Zoom, etc are better for serious discussions online or on mobile devices.

So I have a client that uses Microsoft Teams, which has been a problem for calls as it does not seem to allow external suppliers to join. Does anyone know a way? I tried using my Skype account details, but this did not work.

@SkypeSupport I have a problem running skype. It starts in a collapsed state when the computer is booted. But, until you expand the window and remove the launch banner, skype is in inactive mode and users see "not online." How to make active without intervention?

@duozoe @virullius Also, Chrome crashes nearly every time I use it. Any new tab I try to open crashes until I kill and restart the whole browser. And Skype performance is so bad, it's unusable. And a host of other software/OS issues.

@The_Kyster @GMB @richardgaisford If i someone who cant spell skype can think of it 'admitted to hospital for exhaustion' is a good term to protect her confidentiality then someone would've in the 'palace' and prince charles has admitted having issues, too many questions...

We'd have skype calls and play video games, and they'd occasionally mention some kind of religious undertone, for some science fiction sounding religion. They gave me control of that very same meme page, and told me to help find others for our "friend group".

Bill Gates didn’t create the pandemic. Skype is owned by Microsoft and all we all use Zoom. You dont make everyone video chat and then forget you own a video chat service.
