  • CJXXXXW Chris (@CJXXXXW) reported from Darlington, England

    Morning start of another day lovely blue sky out now all I need is for me work laptop to stop with the errors...hmm why does Skype think am presenting 🤔🤣

  • XianNewman Christian Newman 👨🏻‍💻 (@XianNewman) reported from Surrey, British Columbia

    @MichelleKHarper Ironically, consumer Skype is pretty good as a (albeit basic) chat service - but Skype for Business is simply unusable and grounded in legacy Exchange architecture.

  • peeterskris Kris Peeters (@peeterskris) reported from Louvain-la-Neuve, Wallonia

    - no Google hangouts as sound was not working for someone - no zoom because someone was not allowed to install that We ended up with Skype. Wow, then you realise how out-of-date it is. We couldn't find each other through search. A generated invite for the meeting did not work.

  • tator_tats69 tat💜 (@tator_tats69) reported from Dover, New Jersey

    This would all be done remotely, through Zoom/Skype/Facetime, and no specific hours are necessary. The hospital is looking for a deep bench of volunteers they can call on during those moments when they need this sort of help.

  • kellaaaayyy Carrie Bradshaw🌙✨ (@kellaaaayyy) reported from Richmond, Texas

    I Skype the TA to HELP ME bc I don't know what tf is going on and his response to was to just follow the labs instructions and I should be good. I'm about to go Karen.

  • Caissie 🗽 Caissie “Pretty Scared, You?” St.Onge (@Caissie) reported from Los Angeles, California

    I am not proud that I was not able to help with the laptop & Skype setup for this interview, his brother did that. The only thing I contributed was yelling “Find your light, though!” from the kitchen. 😂

  • Jayson_Peterson Jayson Peterson (@Jayson_Peterson) reported from Kent, Washington

    And being distracted with terrible news, I may be better off keeping all Skype meetings on mute.

  • vitoressouza Vitor E. Silva Souza (@vitoressouza) reported from Vitória, Espírito Santo

    @speakjava I always update to the latest, don’t even know what’s the name... Never had a problem I couldn’t work around. Skype and Zoom running fine.

  • Sean019 Sean Mc Manus (@Sean019) reported from Laois, Leinster

    @PatrickFreyne1 I have a theory that it's because you can't gauge people's reactions or even know if you're talking to one person or on loud speaker and secretly you're being laughed at. Many people that would never dream. Of a phone call would have no problem with zoom or Skype

  • talk_kerry sports talk with kerry wehmeyer (@talk_kerry) reported from Meraux, Louisiana

    @WinWithMalliard No problem anytime if yall want to come on my show yall can though Skype

  • amishasays AMISHA SHARMA (@amishasays) reported from Bilāspur, State of Chhattīsgarh

    I seriously don't know what is this. It must be a spam or "ese log hote hain" is not working for me in here. I am terrified. I have uninstalled Skype and I am putting this person's skype id in the thread. @SkypeSupport @Skype

  • evanempdx evanem (@evanempdx) reported from New Orleans, Louisiana

    @joesimonssays @corbinasmith No. Skype for work purposes is terrible. One of my clients use Skype, and every week someone on the call had issues with it.

  • Waffa1975 Unrealistic Mindset 🤔 (@Waffa1975) reported from Liverpool, England

    @HelenFenton15 @LizDurrant19 @irisbenson100 As well as being a service user, I've also been a volunteer for 3 years. But in this difficult time stuck at home, I asked if any work I can get on with while at home, but nothing. Although I'm participating in a meeting next week (via Skype), so that's good, I need more of that.

  • lilgayafg Left on Dread (@lilgayafg) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    @GayRobot_ @macolon2 @SkypeBusiness Yes, I know. They’re contract with my work is for Skype (when moved away from Teams). Regardless, they have a product that they’re still in charge of but not doing anything about it. This is one of my many issues w/ Microsoft.

  • JohnCarney John Carney ➡️⬅️ Day 23 (@JohnCarney) reported from Pflugerville, Texas

    I know Skype isn’t cool but the low latency on the service really helps conversations.

  • RobertNogier Robert Nogier (@RobertNogier) reported from Cowley, Alberta

    @DarkoneOfDamned @WynonnaEarp The problem with zoom is that it is very hackable and has been hit numerous times over the past few months that's the main reason I suggest Skype, just a little more secure.

  • alexdelbarrio Alex Del Barrio (@alexdelbarrio) reported from Mission, Texas

    @bradgilmore @rodemics Gotcha. Im assuming you’re recording into the device itself on an SD card...so my recommendation would be to Bluetooth the MacBook to your rodecaster and do the skype call that way. Or use an iPhone or IPad Skype and Bluetooth it as well. There’s a few YouTube vids that may help

  • judealdridge Jude Aldridge (@judealdridge) reported from Taff's Well, Wales

    @MaffKnight @nicdafis Disagree - I have real sound issues with Teams that I don’t get with Skype

  • xinphd ranvijaysinha (@xinphd) reported from New Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi

  • MsYouDoYou BdblE (@MsYouDoYou) reported from Burnaby, British Columbia

    I’ve spent the last 45 minutes trying to help set up a Skype call between Nola and her friend from South Korea with limited English. I’m not sure Skype could be any harder to use.

  • ProducerFelixx Felix Bray (@ProducerFelixx) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @marklevy2gb Here here. Anyone with concerns about privacy or tracking should also jump off Twitter, Facebook, Zoom, Skype, or any Google service, and stay home.

  • JSNBSHP J🌞 (@JSNBSHP) reported from Bristol, England

    Just heard my housemate on a Skype call tell someone his hair looks terrible.. cut your own ******* hair next time, pal! 😅

  • d_whitley1 David Whitley (@d_whitley1) reported from Hillsdale, North Carolina

    @discord I'm having an issue on my @Google pixel 3 voice channel not letting me use an external microphone. Not a hardware issue. Works fine for zoom calls, phone calls, and Skype. Discord app picks up no signal.

  • BigCity_Cowgirl Big City Cowgirl (@BigCity_Cowgirl) reported from Carle Place, New York

    @ignitionCountry NY is shut down except for essential businesses. I have to do my music by Skype. And my day job is on limited access as we are essential but need social distancing.

  • thatchamdad Tim | ThatchamDad (@thatchamdad) reported from Thatcham, England

    @One_Dads_View I usually work from home a day a week. Even before this happened, I was thinking whether I could do two - my job involves hardly any face-to-face contact anyway as it’s mostly Skype calls. The issue is it’s against company policy - if I worked from home more, I’d have to ...

  • holasara sara mills (@holasara) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @GavinGiovannoni I’ve been asking my MS nurse and neurologist this for years. It would be great to Skype or FaceTime etc, it would also help the NHS financially and MSers dragging themselves to appointments👍

  • TimboChannel405 Timbo (@TimboChannel405) reported from Llanilar, Wales

    @fsphil @Stephen_Neal Very true. Apart from the noise and bandwidth problem, any fast movement would have colour fringing as it moved significantly before the next colour frame. Ok I suppose for static shots. Still better than all these Skype interviews on TV today 😂

  • film_girl Christina Warren (@film_girl) reported from Seattle, Washington

    So the optics are terrible and the opsec of using a personal cell phone or FT Zoom account unforgivable (this is what Skype numbers are literally for), but this isn’t a scandal and the reporter was definitely given the invite by employees who wanted accountability
