    @thereclaimparty @Miss_Snuffy @unherd Why do we think it’s any different for children - we make progress as adults over SKYPE/TEAMS etc but it doesn’t replace being face to face - seeing someone maybe has an issue... Chats on the way to/from meetings are where you get half the information about what’s happening!!

    @XboxSupport Hi. Xbox chat (across Xbox and PC) has been very very poor ever since about last Monday. Poor voice quality and disconnects. Me and friends had to use Skype like peasants. Fix it please.

  • splendr Arijit (@splendr) reported

    @ColumbiaAsiaIn try to improve customer service. Taken an online appointment and staff isn't responding. Waiting for tele consultation and no one calls on skype, whatsapp. @Apollohosp_Blr @ManipalHealth hope you're doing better.

    @Snowden Are you able to use @Skype? Or do you use a more secure video connection service?

  • hanearlpark Han-earl Park 🎸 (@hanearlpark) reported

    I’m somewhat confused by what the musicians and music teachers in the UK are talking about irt PRS/performing rights issue in the UK. Isn’t the solution to pressure Zoom, Microsoft/Skype, Facebook, Google, Apple, etc. to pay the license? or am I missing something?

  • EvilGlobe Eddie Evil - Evil Globe Animation (@EvilGlobe) reported

    @elkinsDIC Uni: Yes she does. Becky recently bought a new webcam for her laptop so she could use Zoom and Skype. She didn't want to use the built-in webcam on the computer. The video quality was terrible and doesn't pick up sound very well. Thankfully the new webcam is so much better. 😈🌎

  • purple_flower9 Hyacinth (@purple_flower9) reported

    @UpNorthHiker She should not be travelling. Her "entire family" should be planning the funeral without her. My close relative died in another country. She has no family there. We had to make arrangements over the phone and service was on Skype.

  • RealHFegelein Hermann Fegelein (@RealHFegelein) reported

    @erfloewen @karenkho Why do people use WhatsApp over Hangouts or Skype is what want to know. I don't like WhatsApp because it ties itself to your contact list and doesn't let you choose your own login. Plus it ties itself to ONE phone. I think Hangouts and Skype let me use my devices the way I want.

  • EljonEljon Thomas Eljon 🤘🏳️‍🌈 ✖️Box (@EljonEljon) reported

    Meet Up by @skype on @windows is terrible. Who approved that?

  • tblakeevanson My Info (@tblakeevanson) reported

    @elonmusk We can fix the economy and give Americans power to take care of themselves. It's a complex business with simple solutions. 1 email, Skype, or meeting is all it will take to explain. You do have the power to save us, I have the design

  • m3n4l_Cas3 Jason Green (@m3n4l_Cas3) reported

    @Nitrado_EN I have an issue with my game server in SNG and I cant get in contact with support. I've tried calling the German support number and the Skype address, any ideas?

  • Thalia93369760 Thalia (@Thalia93369760) reported

    I’m at work and my email is non stop, my zoom is non stop, my Skype is non stop, the doctors physically in the office are non stop. Everything is non stop. I have become the person who fixes anything that’s broken in the office. Anything that someone can solve is given to me.

  • Amanda_Troop Amanda Troop wears a mask (@Amanda_Troop) reported

    Someone hacked my @Skype account, FYI. I tried to then login and regain control of the account, and @Microsoft told me I didn't provide enough information to verify that I am myself. At least my account is blocked! If you get a weird Skype message from me... it's not me.

  • shinydh David Howell (@shinydh) reported

    @funkiepiano That latter reminded me of when i had a workshop of one of my compositions via Skype in the Before Times and the singer (from New York) had connection issues. She emailed a recording and we discussed it in chat box because video latency made even talking impossible to process...

  • Ananasturtle Mommy Turts 🐢 (@Ananasturtle) reported

    Y'all remember that one straight, local friend I have? She texted me half an hour ago, asking if we and another friend could sit down and have a birthday party over Skype/Discord, cuz. Y'know. Social distancing. She also said "Idk if that's weird". Idk how that's weird.

    @GovMikeDeWine is there any reason ohio hasn't done anything to help enforce the CDC eviction memorandum? We have courts in Stow Ohio that aren't allowing in person hearings but will evict a person over Skype without hesitation

    After about 3 years I finally found the setting to fix why I can’t see people’s pictures on Skype. I don’t know why I’m so excited.

  • j_wangadi Joshua Wangadi (@j_wangadi) reported

    @Skype is using too much CPU. Please fix.
