  • gothybih leo || $6 OF (@gothybih) reported

    would you think that $28 is too much for a 10 minute skype call with a customer plus **** rates the whole time? i said that as a price and got turned down, and please be honest!

  • Benchflip Benchflip (@Benchflip) reported

    I still won't forget the time someone in the WoW roleplay community broadcasted calling me a slur they knew I took very personal issues with on Skype because I told them they shouldn't RP some questionable content in the guild we we both in. Continuously. Without fail. :/

  • DexterJane16 Powerstar Peralta (@DexterJane16) reported

    Skype & outlook not working on WiFi But working with mobile data. Solution please

  • RoofBeeblebrox Roof Beeblebrox (@RoofBeeblebrox) reported

    I would drag my ***** through a mile of broken glass just to have a Skype dinner date with Lizzie on dial up connection

  • KatClaassens Katrine Claassens (@KatClaassens) reported

    @deonandan Bad lighting, weird backgrounds, sound problems, not knowing how to upload official event backgrounds or how to share Powerpoint slides without sharing their whole screen. Also, some people have trouble with Zoom because they don't use it often or have been using Skype/Teams.

  • Jlewis99_13 Jared (@Jlewis99_13) reported

    @turtlecoal @geogrification @NuitGod Oh **** my bad it was zoom not teams. Or is that Skype? Nah remember they closed them down years ago. Look I’m really anxious right now with all these convos I have goin on I knew I should’ve just shut my *** up because I can’t even put together thoughts I’m so anxious man.

    WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THEY FIRST TALKED IN SKYPE HELP

  • ivo_se Ivo 😷 🦁 (@ivo_se) reported

    Today for me isn't about TV or Wordpress. It's about Whatsapp, Instagram and Skype. I need proper rest. 4 years this ************ was up on me every single second with this ******* excuse of putting America First. I put my American connections first a whole lot. Gotta fix that.

  • Neverfadingwood neverfadingwood (@Neverfadingwood) reported

    "oops something went wrong" has to be the most pathetically useless error message I've ever seen. Sort it out, skype.

  • YoSohabYee GOP stands for “Grab Our *******” (@YoSohabYee) reported

    @MedusaBaked I’m so sorry sweetie. My dad issues messed me up to. He died 3 years ago. Never made an effort to even call me. a year before he died family members set up a Skype so we could finally meet in some form...he was more interested in my daughters than me. I guess I was ok with that

  • Lisa40117842 Lisa (@Lisa40117842) reported

    @JustinTrudeau @netanyahu WHY!! 1. I hope you decided to help the Palestinians. we aren’t interested in the Israeli government. 2. Leave your house and see how others are living while you make Skype calls. 3.Did you eat today because many of your good people did not.. where is this vaccine u speak of

  • astronomyblog Stuart (@astronomyblog) reported

    @JerbalKeb You can suggest it, yes. I've had Signal for quite a while. It doesn't help in my situation. Unfortunately no alternative will help. This situation specifically *requires* Skype.

  • luxurygoddessb Daddy beatrixxx🥀 (@luxurygoddessb) reported

    I’m down to humiliate a sissy on Skype tonight 😈

  • duffers45 Duffy (@duffers45) reported

    Now they are refusing to help and will only help if I go on Skype. Not a good way of conducting business in my opinion

  • tkinias Thanasis Kinias (@tkinias) reported

    @WrestlingClio is it consistent? I’ve had that on Skype before and usually the problem is fixed by hanging up and reconnecting

  • snowyskep bianca ♡ (@snowyskep) reported

    THE FIRST TIME SKEPPY AND BAD TALKED PRIVATELY WAS ON SKYPE WRITE THAT DOWN SOMEONE WRITE THAT DOWN

  • LaBrujaMestiza BrujaMestiza (@LaBrujaMestiza) reported

    @reallyottawa @CBCNews I do it through Skype, I honestly don't know why they have that problem, I hope there is a solution or something to help them feel better, sucks to work that way.

  • solaramp3 solara catgirl era (@solaramp3) reported

    @hemanthwitdabev one of them wanted me to download skype they down horribly man

  • _Rbot_ Rooben.avi (@_Rbot_) reported

  • 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.

  • gothybih leo || $6 OF (@gothybih) reported

    would you think that $28 is too much for a 10 minute skype call with a customer plus **** rates for the whole call and me wearing lingerie too? i said that as a price and got turned down, and please be honest!

  • InMalicious Malicious Madness In Plain Sight (@InMalicious) reported

    @Anas_Aspi @jordanbpeterson I don't think you have to lock down where are you locked down and you can't go outside? That would be hard to do I guess telephone and Skype and you know . Read some books reinvent yourself. Just remember you'll be free one day maybe.

  • TheMedievalDrK Kathleen E. Kennedy (@TheMedievalDrK) reported

    @PeeBeeJayBee yeah here teaching uses Teams, admin uses Blackboard Collaboration, HR uses skype for business, colleagues use Zoom. zoom seems to be the most trouble-free of the lot, though at this point I don't know if that's saying much

  • harropj Jonathan Harrop (@harropj) reported from Plano, Texas

    @ske7ch Yeah you guys are all Skype. ;) Kidding. This is getting very common. I have to deal with tracking it down occasionally and we’re not even remotely as attractive a contractor as 343.

  • LadyJustice6910 TraderJill - (Pronouns: Meme Queen/Your Highness) (@LadyJustice6910) reported

    Can anyone help w/ my @Skype settings? Because I'm ready to snap! The text, and my contacts are now so small I can barely read them. I hold down control & tap plus and NOTHING! I accidentally clicked on the wrong screen & minimized this POS to the point where it's unreadable!

  • Political_Kris Political_Scientist (@Political_Kris) reported

    @jasonmashak Sounds like a conflict between system settings and an app. If aligning the two settings, or allowing one to rule them all, doesn't help, the culprit is almost certainly a poorly written app. Never had issues with Skype/ForBusiness but Webex was a major PITA.

    Face it, you’re not working from home, you’re moving the mouse every five minutes to stop Skype turning yellow.

  • HazelWwwrong X͓̽_͓̽3͓̽$🕶 (@HazelWwwrong) reported

    @SkypeSupport the problem has been fixed by reloading that page many times lol. thx a/w!

  • journeymanped Journeyman Pedant (@journeymanped) reported

    @whitequark there was that kind of brief period in the late 2000's where you could login to facebook messenger, google chat etc via XMPP. Even up to 2015 I was logging in to Lync/Skype for Business with pidgin which worked well for chat
