    @Braxwolf @Microsoft I see. Even so, I know where Skype is if I need it. I have it intentionally set not to start automatically. I don't need yet another button on my task bar for an app I hardly ever use. And I know I can hide it, I already did. But why do need to go to the trouble? It's bloatware.

  • EMOBEANIEBABY 𝖅𝖔𝖊̈ (@EMOBEANIEBABY) reported

    She explained to me that her tablet had broken and she needed one to Skype with her daughter who had moved to Australia, and she hadn't seen her face in sometime so she was very upset. She couldn't afford a new tablet at yhe time so I asked if she had a phone she could use 1/2

    @Skype Hi, I need help to create an account, but your app doesn't work properly. After I clicked the "create account" button, it keeps loading with blank white screen. My phone is Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro. Kindly to help me. Thank you.

    @MS_ITProCA does camera work in a pandemic no camera on skype you reverse the process ti a lit of people and can not fix the problem

  • LiKeBuTTeR9 Drew Rinaldi (@LiKeBuTTeR9) reported

    @PancakeNoLazer @GameStop I was actually talking about Skype, Mixer, and everything else they’ve ran into the ground. But I agree. GameStop has no place. But they also suck which doesn’t help.

  • VGDevotee VideoGameFan03713 (@VGDevotee) reported

    @SkypeSupport I want to report a user for using the service for abuse. His name is MichaelDoesLife and he has been publicly insulting and demeaning people who worked for companies he harassed on Twitter. He does the same to people in his chat for streams or call via Skype.

  • xoDahliaDee Dahlia Dee 🐙 (@xoDahliaDee) reported

    @rylandbabylove @StarwarsLJedi I'll be taking down this tweet in an hour because apparently some boys can't behave. All I know is that theres one less regular on my Skype list, I am not interested in providing a service for anyone who would blatantly out me on social media & risk having my accounts terminated.

  • TheCreepyReal TheCreepyReal (@TheCreepyReal) reported

    @DisturbedKay @Twitter Omg @DisturbedKay I've been trying to find an online service that does this for years (that wont have issues with copyright like YT, Twitch, etc). Me and my friends from other states used to press play together on Netflix while on a Skype call haha.

  • Shilang19 Shilang (@Shilang19) reported

    @MyRayVeness I’ll help if I get to Skype with you once a month for 2hrs

  • zehavoc Djamé (@zehavoc) reported

    @thewulf7 @Skype Hi, I'm experiencing a lot of issues when I'm running skype while videoconferencing on big sur. All cpus are are around 80/100%. Fans are screaming and the whole system starts to be unresponsive. Have to kill skype everytime. Wasn't the case at all with my last OS (mojave)

  • rogerboyle1962 Roger Boyle (@rogerboyle1962) reported

    @tourscotland @Skype @Twitter Same as Kirkintilloch/East Dunbartonshire. Must be terrible for your business and tourism generally

  • LoraxLibrarian 🧙🏻‍♀️🎄🔮🌳📖📚🌳 (@LoraxLibrarian) reported

    @EamonTewell What worked well for my husband was Skype availability. He had 2 designated people to ask any and all questions to and they were both happy to help. They never made him feel like he was bothering them. If they were unavailable they communicated that and didn't just ignore the ?'s

  • dotcog .cog (@dotcog) reported

    (2/2) why fandom, not just the furry fandom is negatively looked down soon in current era. You are destroying yourself by acting the way you are. Trying to act more "friendly" makes you more unfriendly. Pre-Microsoft Skype had more personality than you have ever had.

  • mevrouw_bee Laura Bee is staying home & writing a novel. #BLM (@mevrouw_bee) reported

    So tried to join a Zoom meeting about how to find an agent but the dude gave the wrong time...3 pm instead of 1 pm...So sorry I had to cut off Skype early for nothing, @Mandobanjoman! (in case you're wondering why I was still tweeting) Off to help Dad with Christmas cards...

  • shoobe01 Steven Hoober. No, with a "B." (@shoobe01) reported

    @movito Had a small spate of reliability problem is the other week but otherwise slack meetings are pretty good. Have not had video resolution problems usually. One other client moving from Skype to Zoom and I hate it so much.

  • USAnwalt USAnwalt (@USAnwalt) reported

    Testing @Outlook with its own password disables @Skype with different password. WTF @Microsoft. Same unified, less secure **** as Google did with forcing across the board login and tracking? I guess one of the apps has to go again.

  • josmn michael.gove739 (@josmn) reported

    @Merryweatherey @PrincessHinghoi @cazzastrophe Skype also doesn't have a massive ********** problem.

  • kingcraigjames ❤️🤴🏻❤️ (@kingcraigjames) reported

    @Call_me_writer I understand in countries (outside of usa) those communication APPS like WhatsApp, Skype, and such.. may be necessary because of high calling rates and such. However, I also feel like they are similar to virus on phones. The apps tend to make phones/tablets/computers glitch out.

  • Blueprint2211 Blueprint221 (@Blueprint2211) reported

    @VioletBesant Skype is > Adultwork anyway. I wish they never removed it from there, I'm always having problems with AW .

  • shoogle_mac Lauren McDougall (@shoogle_mac) reported

    @alison_phipps I haven’t started yet! I realised after watching YouTube I couldn’t remember much 🙈 It’s fine though - we’re visiting Emma’s (my partner) parents on the 23rd & I asked Em’s mum on Skype yesterday if she’d give me a wee tutorial when we’re down I’ll let you know how I get on!
