    @netplusofficial You Guys Do A Favour ! Please Take My Connection Away. I'm Running My Business, Always Use Skype Meeting For That, But Your Connection Is Totally Worst. Don't Know What's The Problem. But Everyday Around 30 Minutes You Guys Do Network Refresh (said by you operators)

    Sooo the camera on my work computer is black. It’s not working on Zoom or Skype or anything. I have to record all of the things tomorrow. Anybody know how I can fix it?! I’m about to call the computer people and CRY.

    @treysis @neojima No one here uses Skype. I’ve run like this for quite some time in other locations. No issues to report. Host v6 only with a NAT64/DNS64 system is pretty well traveled. Not complicated, lots of huge deployments.

    @DarkMatters95 I have a verification post but you have to scroll down a bit. Also I offer Skype so people have seen me on call before.

  • getoffmyline andy bartlett (@getoffmyline) reported

    @skype or @msftsecurity didn't respond. I guess they don't do irony. There appears no way to report when your account is hacked. You do get notified in real time as the hackers add their emails and take your Skype Credit, but you can't raise the alarm. Terrible.

    Some of us did the Shalwar Challenge in first year of university with our Nano's help on Skype. There are levels to this.

    @Skype is SKYPE down? Trying desperately to make an urgent call from Thailand to USA. Account blocked. Unable to recover or reach a customer service agent. Please help!!!!!!

  • selfcoding Theo Chiotis (@selfcoding) reported

    Spoke to a friend whose husband is French. Hearing and understanding French is no problem and writing in French does not pose major issues either. However, holding a conversation in French for two hours on skype without switching registers all the time is another story.

    @BCafGun It's not I problem I have Skype. And still use it. I just left a message on your Skype answer when you can.

  • _mattrich Matt Rich (@_mattrich) reported

    @TrumanLab first round = currently in-person? (obviously a huge amount of winnowing-down happens in (previously) skype interviews). so maybe a seminar over zoom with a few meetings for 6-8 then maybe three "finalists"?

    Im a nonthreatening feminist host! talk to me on skype about your problems as a woman i sympathize i’m taking womens studies. I took women’s studies I know what ‘vocaloid’ means. Man I’m so horny today. Sorry.I’m sorry. I just came out and said it.

    "sorry man, I cashed in my chips already. You're sitting online advertising to do skype shows and then telling me you're too busy. Homie homo don't play that. I'm off to bed anyway. One day, you'll learn not to play the guys who actually could help you on here. Good nite"

  • Jules_K Jules Kulcsar (@Jules_K) reported

    @micaandreea I wouldn’t expect privacy on company provided accounts (messaging apps, email etc). But the upgrade for this “service” is pretty expensive. Not every employer can do that. I knew about this from my previous job some years back. We used skype for non work internal communication

    @janeross10 hi I’m a college student and as a part of a assessment I need to do a interview for a news project I was just wondering if you would be available some point before April 20th I would need a interview over Skype or Microsoft teams this would be a big help thanks

    Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. Donations, deposits, prepayments, birthday gifts, Skype dates, content purchases, undergarment sales... literally any kind of help, even $20 will go a long way atm. Beemit @ mscm4000 (I HATE doing this. Please don't shame me)

  • ReformedTrader Darren 🥚 (@ReformedTrader) reported

    I partially locked down (Skype; no large groups indoors) on 2/5/20 due to tweets of people like @Barton_options and @INVESTMENTSHULK. (Thankful for them!) I'm slowly rejoining the world now... nothing to do with regulations and everything to do with idiosyncratic reward/risk.

    @FrankHghTwr @Terri_TF_art @ZeeloKitten You know might help if we had a way to communicate, I don't think we've talked properly since Skype died. I'm on Discord and Telegram, whciehver you prefer.

    Crazy day - had to help my Aunt and Uncle pick out a PC so they could talk to their grandkids via Skype...and they bought me a new TV for my trouble! Had no idea how bad my old one was until today.

  • IAmDavidSnyder David Snyder (@IAmDavidSnyder) reported

    @dorkfish615 They closed down the app due to lack of use. There was a brief attempt to use it for covid specific purposes (a version of Skype and conversation), but decided it wasn’t going to catch on. It’s unfortunate...
