@LisaEirene Same for my grandson. Will your kiddo be in K next year? If so basically same age and, yes, they need constant attention! Very little ability to entertain themselves at this point. I Skype in and read to him 2x a week for an hour or so. That's about all I can do to help!

@Mark_Coughlan @edmundheaphy Could be a couple of issues there - some guests come in via TieLine while others may be on FaceTime Audio, WhatsApp Audio, Skype etc. Some are more reliable than others. Their own connection could also play a part - and if they get a call while on air it can cause a wobble.

@HPIndia Laptop is very unreliable, it crashes anytime with blue screen error Memory_Management. It crashes during my zoom calls, skype calls, Teams call. I lose my business with this impression on my clients. When I code applications, it crashes and I lose my code, files get corrupt.

My computer microphone isn’t working. Someone from tech support is helping to fix it and called me on Skype and said “I think you’re on mute.” Then he said “Oh. Never mind. It’s been a week.” LOL. I feel you, dude.

@Skype is the devil. I have upcoming meetings and tried to create an account. I couldn't read the stupid challenge dominos quickly enough so clicked through HUNDREDS of them. No way to get help, no way to get a new challenge. What a piece of crap, Microsoft!

Skype, Viber & Wickr are terrible recommendations in this context actually. Allo still exists?

Sorted it out through my own logic of just calling them from Skype because of my PhD brain is clearly problem solving. RBS call center gave no shits about anything and were like, eh its fine, unblocked and unlocked. RBS, telling you a different story at every single turn.

@kidandy @zencastr We attempted Skype in our early days of podcasting, but it just didn’t sound good for us which why we turned to Zencastr which was great for the first couple of months, but for the past two months or so there’s been a problem every week with this being the worst.

@jugurthahadjar @SlackHQ @stewart Because it is the most obvious non-competitor. One could potentially see a threat to Slack from several other messaging platforms, but never, ever Skype — which is a threat mostly to itself. BTW, did they ever fix the can’t-login problems that caused the Skype-exodus?

@Typhoo_Tea I would love to have a proper sit down cup of tea with my friend Crystal in Canada, a Skype call isn't the same as being able to hug someone who needs it.

physically draining over a period of time. I also like that the show is jumping thru the timeline and touching on events that have happened thruout the pandemic. Even the skype calls themselves arent terrible and work for the format. It doesnt ruin the feel of the show.

I've never been a fan of Skype. But omg why did no one tell me you can not only record but if you're typing during a call Skype pops up a mini window of the person you're talking to! This is so superior to that other wildly popular video service.

@kinoui_ I actually wanted the new iPad Air but it is sold out atm where I live😣And that’s the issue, I do have a laptop BUT it is really old and whenever I’m in online classes sometimes it disconnects me from Skype/Zoom so I miss the explanation. My iPad would be my backup for my laptop

I'm having issues with report builder: it keeps crashing on me and giving the most useless error messages, so I screenshotted the last one and send it to my manager over Skype-chat. And then he emailed me: the screenshot of the error made his skype freeze... 🥲
