  • JimmyJungas Jimmy Jungas (@JimmyJungas) reported

    I've got the combined tasks of getting up, having a shower & being ready for work down to the absolute bare minimum amount of time & effort now. Basically ten minutes, or less. As long as I can sign into Skype by 9am, I'm good.

    How ready are we for the 4th Industrial Revolution? Today we were supposed to have our 1st Portfolio Committee workshop as Safety and Security. We couldn't because the server was down. Emails and our Skype medium of communication was not working. Ja ne! @CityofCT

  • mancunianmedic david oliver (@mancunianmedic) reported

    @annsinead speaking personally, i am much happier either doing a phone interview on live radio or being in a room with a real audience on a panel than doing anything down zoom/skype or down a fixed camera in front of a green screen in a broom cupboard. Hate it.

    @MTNNG Good day. I have an issue with you guys. I purchased over 10,000 naira data to be able to have an easy job interview today but unfortunately I could not connect to skype for the job interview. Could not even send text messages. It was that bad.

  • EmmaBriedis Emma Briedis (@EmmaBriedis) reported

    @CauseSurvive Oh man, I am so sorry. At least symptoms arent terrible. Did you get to at least Skype in?

  • mancunianmedic david oliver (@mancunianmedic) reported

    i know plenty of people didn't like the #BBCQuestionTime #bbcqt format before but it just does not work with people sitting far apart or doing it down a skype link and no studio audience ("bussed in gammons" i know, i know) but just sterile and disjointed now

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

    Im a nonthreatening feminist boy, come talk to me on Skype! 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 ‘systematic’ means.

  • captinmarvel michaela (@captinmarvel) reported

    @swansparrilIa i'm planning on moving to uni this year too. i'm not too worried abt being away from family but as silly as it sounds my cats are my actual world and i'm going to miss them more than anything. constant pics/updates are definitely gonna help, so constant calls/skype maybe ? idk

  • burtschank Burt Schank (@burtschank) reported

    @danielbowen Here's a fun one - my (Microsoft branded) web cam often goes contrast bananas on teams (either far too bright or far too dark or flipping between the two), and the only way to fix it is to load Skype for Business (an entirely different program) and use the contrast slider there

  • KrishnajithKJ Krishnajith SRT (@KrishnajithKJ) reported

    @Microsoft, why don't you update the status of @Skype when we are in a @MicrosoftTeams call? Not sure if I'm the only one facing this issue!

    @ThreeUKSupport No sure what is the point of using the 3 sim and paying the money I am currently using Skype credit and bought a new EE sim, how can a problem not being solved even after 11 days ? Is no one capable of solving this issue ?

  • PlushDogPolitic TakeItPersonally (@PlushDogPolitic) reported

    @NoGoodCitizen Only problem with that is the anonymity factor is gone with things like Discord/Skype. Having to play it on PS2 with no voice chat, nothing but predetermined words added to the challenge.

  • shinydh David Howell (@shinydh) reported

    @maayanvoss @LisaNeher Thank you! I was just thinking about you because of the sheer unadulterated anxiety I had when one (1) phrase onset didn't work in the Skype workshop we did! I felt that awful about asking you to do something uncomfortable, even though the fix wasn't that big?

  • MustaphaMugisa Mr. Strategy. Spark your mind. #Mindspark. (@MustaphaMugisa) reported

    Dear UCC: a) Skype should be excluded from OTT, and the current restrictions. It is for business. Please put back Skype. Our collaboration is suffering. b) Dear URA: I paid for the monthly OTT of Ugx. 6,000 via MTN. However, I am unable to access the services. Any help? Thanks

    @IrinaNaum1 @MaryKayH188 Right now I´m chatting with my brother via facebook. I hope, he can help me. Unfortunately he lives far away, but I can explain the problem. Tomorrow in the evening we are going to skype. I hope, we can solve my problems then.

    Elijha and I have been playing Hades together and yelling at each other down Skype each time we get killed. Wholesome 🥰
