    @TazmanSalisu NB! Skrill will never ask you for your account credentials via Skype or Social networks. Only enter your login details on the genuine Skrill site and mobile apps.

    @jmhorp I've done job interviews with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, and Google Hangouts. Skype is easily the worst. It's just such a pain. (Google Hangouts is also pretty terrible.)

  • heathernew09 Heather New (@heathernew09) reported

    @codemonkey_jack Maybe this changed when they shut down skype for business and they integrated with microsoft teams?

  • MadAddictSport SPACE 5G 🌟🌟🌟 (@MadAddictSport) reported

    If we can hold all Congressional committee hearings via zoom and Skype can we just close down the capital building and send the NG Troops home? Congress is so useless

  • restless_haze Aitchaywy Elliwhy (@restless_haze) reported

    This is also a guy who flat out refused to use Skype chat on our first meeting despite my stating my being hugely uncomfortable with video chat straight away. Previous advisor working for same service had no issue with it.

  • SpaceW0rms SPLATOON 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (@SpaceW0rms) reported

    cant remember my old skype login RIP

  • Aeroplan Aeroplan (@Aeroplan) reported

    @HiteshMankotia Hi Hitesh, as the number 1-514-395-0300 is a local number, you will need to dial the appropriate country code when calling Canada from India; long-distance charges will apply, if it is an issue, you can download the Skype app through a computer and most mobile devices. Luc

    Do you remember Yahoo Pipes? MobuzzTV? How Google was bringing voice and audio and seemed it was going to destroy Skype (and failed to destroy Skype despite the terrible product it is)?

    @bcanini @MrMichaelBurkes Help how ? He doesn’t control state funds. Abbott does. He can’t send FEMA. Biden does that. Any ideas or requests could have been done via Zoom or Skype.

    @ViberHelp @Zeref03072725 @Viber Is it because of people's security or because of your cost-cutting policy? So others, for example Microsoft do not consider these privacy issues, for having Skype conversations stored on their servers?

  • Sannimoon Sandymun (@Sannimoon) reported

    Hi @SkypeSupport, on Feb 4th my credit (4 USD) was inactivated. I received an email indicating that I could reactivate it at any time. Today I tried to do it, but appears "You don't have Skype credit to reactivate". Please can you help me to recover the balance I had? Thanks

    Does anyone have issues with Skype? For the last two days cannot connect to others 😭

  • ElrondGaming 𝔈𝔩𝔯𝔬𝔫𝔡 𝔊𝔞𝔪𝔦𝔫𝔤 (@ElrondGaming) reported

    @JezCorden There are some companies still use Skype, Internet Explorer, and other ancient services. For that reason, it is hard to remove a service in a short notice.

  • saffronseas marji ☔️ real vibe killer (@saffronseas) reported

    cries pls I just want to listen to music so I can draw why did we have no wifi problems for 3 straight months but the week I have a skype interview & actually have motivation to draw it does this 😭 my luck is so abysmal...

    @simonowens @serendeputy I look forward to the integration with Skype. "You appear to be having trouble with vlookup. Would you like a live 15-minute consult within the next 10 minutes? Buy now for only $95."

  • w4rlock Muscled Horde Tattoo Guy (@w4rlock) reported

    Just finished a Skype call and I had Chrome with a few Twitter windows open in the background. Everything was sluggish, took 60 seconds to end! For some reason, Chrome was eating 37gb of memory, according to Activity Monitor. Wtf, Chrome?!?! Clean up your memory caching issues!

  • JUstMove92 Christian (@JUstMove92) reported

    @ElrondGaming @JezCorden "Skype for Business Online End of Life is officially July 31, 2021. This means that effective after that date, the service will no longer be accessible. While those who currently use SfB-O will not be affected immediately, it does mean the days are numbered."

  • ritalinabuser d💸 (@ritalinabuser) reported

    @GarbageEgirl in Skype people would constantly have trouble connecting and in the few cases you could connect the bitrate was like half a bit a minute, it was barely words going through. only thing that worked properly was just dms
