@_shengche Well, beats me. Perhaps google docs app/account is switched to Dutch for some reason? And Skype gets its language info from it? Other than that, Skype also causes all kinds of issues on my pc all the time (though not this one ... yet). Anyway, no clue really.

@Microsoft @Skype Because they refuse to provide either email or postal support, I'm forced to sit online with them continually while their staff fail to fix this problem. If you ever run a customer service channel, please do not force me to use your awful and slow "online chat" service.

@RW_Igloo @angryreporter That's such a shame. Skype really doesn't take the place of hugs. We're still on the fence about visiting my hubs' mom, who's 92. She's having a lot of trouble. We always wear masks/seat far apart, but...my hubs puts his big winter coat around her w/her face in the hood for hugs!

@meddiss Fantastic advice I got from my advisor: just start writing, you can always chase down a citation if you need it later or edit if something changes. I am also a huge proponent of writing groups. I meet with 3 friends on Monday morning via skype, tell them what I am going to do 1/

OK tech geeks - please help me out. Skype and FaceTime both have functions that automatically detect background noise and they try to cut it out. Annoyingly that makes my guitar cut in and out when giving lessons and people's voices cut out when speaking at the same time...

**** Microsoft and the pile of **** shaped like a horse they rolled in on. Their piece of **** service has meant my therapy appointment is delayed or cancelled because my Skype number has been "claimed" by someone else, despite it being MY phone number and me not having had any

Is it just me or has video chat quality gone down over the years? FaceTime lags more now than Skype did 10 years ago

@Kurt_W25 Although if you use like discord or skype or something while listening to music, the music gets crazy compressed. That might be an issue with my laptop though

@HMRCcustomers Thanks Rob. I think the problem is I used Skype to call from outside the UK, so the phone line thinks I am calling the HMRC international number from a UK line, hence the message to try again on the UK number. Will try again. Sorry for the frustration

Now into my fifth hour, and eighth (!) staff member of @microsoft and @skype to fix their billing system problem. Just been told "We need to further troubleshoot this first before we can escalate this case" to a manger. You mean the last five hours of this crap wasn't enough?

@BarclaysUKHelp Hi! I've been waiting on skype for 50 minutes and still no answer, just that horrible music playing on repeat. Any chance I can get customer service on the other side before dinner?

This old guy is dead, no pulse. He had a phone in his pocket, and I’ve managed to log in to Twitter. He already had that app, but he’s never tweeted. Thing is, I have wifi down here, but no phone signal. And I don’t have his app store password to download Skype or something.

@SkypeSupport is anybody going to answer me? Every single day I have to reset my phone on Skype. Via my laptop. Why are you not looking into this problem?

One of the things every single video chat service (Skype, Zoom, Meet, etc) is missing is the thing Discord already solved: the ability to adjust the volume of each individual user on MY end. Meet: you can mute them for everybody (worse) Zoom: lol nope Skype: why would we do that

@MReturneth @C4CEO Meetings are TERRIBLE. More spent verbalizing, yet no one writes things down to memorialize, so people have to jump on Skype/chat to ask the same thing all over again.

@rorymcevoy Yeah, skype call with my brother. My nephew always trying to get in on the screen to ask about the dog and cat, and what we'll do when he comes down. My little niece (only 3) stares at me like a stranger. Haven't seen her since March, no bond formed. Really choked me up
