@Adamski I've had this happen with both Skype recordings and Open Broadcast Software. Running it through Handbrake or Avidemux seems to fix it. I've asked @markspen and @RippleTraining for their RippleLive on Friday as to why it happens and the proper fix.

Yeah you know they are the one when you’ve been hyper fixating all day and your brain is fried and you don’t want to move talk or interact w/anyone but you can’t stop stimming bc you’re stoked to Skype them despite your brain completely shutting down w/ everything else

I remember on Skype business at my first job when I got down here... my supervisor was a ***** so I blocked her. Her fat *** had to come up 2 floors and across the building if she wanted to say something to me 😭💀

@SullyCNBC I'm not a fan. Email, Skype IM, and Skype - too much overlap. And where I work there are IP issues, we arent supposed to communicate proprietary info on Slack. Safer to IM or email

@GrumpyWo Happy to take this off Twitter and have a proper chat over Skype/email or whatever. Basically I know MH is a problem my soldiers face, I want to help but struggle to do more for them that is meaningful.

Calling Lego Customer service is depressing because it sounds like Skype for Biz and M$ will never get to Cisco quality, and that's really sad when you can admit Cisco will always be better...

Zoom, teams, Skype, gotomeeting... As soon as I work out how to actually connect to one meeting platform someone decides to use another one. #help

@BriannaWu @Microsoft So many replies seem to forget that Skype and Lync aka “Skype for Business” are separate products. Yes, Skype for Business is being replaced by Teams. It’s not Skype. Microsoft Teams: “has encountered a problem and needs to be restarted.”

@reheckeba I hate that damn app. We are moving away from Skype to use Teams exclusively now which is good bc I like it more but this status error is killing me.

@SamuelMarcLowe @SallyJJonesEY (Skype for business) That is something which is being phased out the moment and Microsoft Teams will take over. Its a hassle with all those different platforms. They should just be frontends to the same basic service. That would help.

@Joshua24__15 Sounds like it was a conference phone line not a zoom/hangout/skype meeting but could be wrong. Either way it's pretty terrible for them and wonderful for us haha

@SkypeSupport Skype can't "see" my camera on my home OR work laptops/networks. It says "No device found". Both cameras work great in all other programs, including Zoom, Google Meet/Hangouts, YouTube, etc. I've searched all over & can't find a solution. Can you help? :-(

@idfc0921 Ah I see, what I would suggest is calling our customer service team and making them aware of this. The other option would be sending us a letter but calling will be a lot quicker. - Billy From abroad +44 2476 842 099 / 24/7 or Skype - +44800111777 / 24/7

@susannareid100 @MattHancock My mum has early onset Alzheimer’s I’ve not hugged or touched her hand since March. She is stuck in a care home thinking I’ve abandoned her. She does not speak so an i pad or Skype doesn’t help. Our hearts are breaking everyday. Who feels sorry for our elders in care??? Not Matt!

@jinxs67 My Skype meetings don't provide a dial in option and the help desk don't understand the problem so keep giving wrong advice. I'm going to call them every couple of months
