I’ve had my laptop for 1 yr & use it for everything. I went to do a Skype interview- guess what won’t start up! So now I get to spend 1/2 of today @ the store diagnosing it & how much it’s gonna cost to fix instead of the day & a half I finally get to spend with my family. Cool.

@SkypeSupport I recorded a call via Skype on 2/25 and am now unable to download the video file, but I’m well within the 30 day window where you are able to download. Help would be appreciated.

@amandathedevnyc The remote IDE and Skype of a hard whiteboard algo problem was almost as painful as in person... I ended up not talking through the problem at all with the interviewer they even asked if i was still there more than once 😂😂😂

@SkypeSupport There was no instslled Skype. I grabbed from the App Store. I solved the issue (kinda) by downloading the Skype Preview installer and running it in Win8 compatibility mode.

@GilWhitedale @chrislhayes These are data-slinging pocket computers now, and too few people care all that much about voice quality for it to be too much of a priority. And increasingly people voice communicate over IP anyhow -- Skype, FaceTime, Duo, etc -- and that's not a carrier issue.

I'm hoping @Skype #CustomerService will respond to my DM...This has been an ongoing issue for several days now. I'd like to Skype with my Parents on Sunday but at this rate, another week will go by without the ability to do so. Very displeased. #poorcustomerservice

@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!

My favorite thing that happens at work is when I try to talk to people casually/tell them about my problems on Skype and they just clearly don’t care or don’t even bother to respond at all! I STAN lack of support in the workplace!!!! 🙃

@SA_M21 Skype appts are legit and can decrease people physically going to the doctor when they don’t need to. Always gotta strive for peak healthcare utilization where we only seek care when we need it, and not for issues like the common cold.

@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!

@JermaineJupiter As someone who uses Skype daily for work, I feel like I should have known this. I just never thought of connecting the podcast concept to the service... Lol maybe I’m jus late ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There’s that too 😂
