    so the monitor was not causing my PC crash. it was definitely, EITHER, skype itself, or the background intelligent Transfer "service". I killed both and have had perfect stability since. BUT i may purchase a 2nd asus free sync monitor and put this bigger one on back shelf

  • MarieFleur3 Marie-Fleur (@MarieFleur3) reported

    @NonnaMichele Yes, I understand (incl the tears, same here). We'll see when we can meet. We have Skype for the moment, it'll have to do. She's fine, but a bit lonely. I'm trying to help her find a job now.

  • stewiec25 Stuart (@stewiec25) reported

    @Skype need help. My dad all of a sudden is being asked to verify his id on Skype by putting on his PIN. Thing is he has never had a PIN?? So how can he log in?

  • AprilKihlstrom April Kihlstrom (@AprilKihlstrom) reported

    @SamsaraSings I haven’t even been in a store since March. My contact with others is via skype, zoom and FaceTime—my kids and grandkids and a few friends. Oh, and when I have to go to the post office to get my mail because they won’t fix our mailboxes or deliver to our homes.

  • Alex_Micati Alex (@Alex_Micati) reported

    @ArlieMatera Do the elderly in your neighborhood have Skype or such things? Granted it's not a coffee shop, but it could help break the isolation.

  • kiwifindom 𝐀𝐑𝐘𝐀 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐎𝐃 (@kiwifindom) reported

    i’d do skype sessions to help reimburse my stolen **** but they stole my fckn computer so like *******

  • GarethMarlow Gareth Marlow (@GarethMarlow) reported

    @gnomeicide You asked how to get Skype to do something that Skype can't do. This was pointed out, and a few people (not just me) also said that what you wanted to do was the core use case for zoom. You disparaged some kind and sincere offers of help as "tech twitter".

  • JohnLennyPenny John Lenny (@JohnLennyPenny) reported

    @_alex_joshua Zoom is ******* stupid, use Discord, Skype, or Google Meets. Not some shitty web service no one heard of a year ago

  • s1mpforblockmen sam (@s1mpforblockmen) reported

    @pov_at look on skype its about the girl who kinda starts problems

  • Death2TheGrave 𝕯𝖊𝖆𝖙𝖍2𝕿𝖍𝖊𝕲𝖗𝖆𝖛𝖊Horror (@Death2TheGrave) reported

    You tried to humiliate me on this account. That shows how you really feel. You didn't care that I asked so we could have Skype again you put the phone down on me with no thought to anyone. You can make me look bad all you want that has zilch chance of fixing this.

  • sages_tv Saulo Germano (@sages_tv) reported

    @grohsfabian Man i need your help, i sent msg via skype

  • MarkThompStuff Mark Thompson (@MarkThompStuff) reported

    @AndrewTRoycroft My 2014 desktop iMac has the very same sporadic issue on Zoom and Skype - what the mechanics used to call an "intermittent fault" when they couldn't find the answer!

  • stijnhommes Stijn Hommes (@stijnhommes) reported

    @MicrosoftTeams Are you planning to fix the volume issues on Teams before you force Skype for Business users to switch over to your inferior program? If you insist on this nonsense, you can expect a bill for all the lost time and business you've caused.

  • KirranLewis Kirran | WhiteWolf 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@KirranLewis) reported

    @Barnacules @AuxxZillary I think the problem you are having with @dhewlett on stream is something to do with Skype switching between different resolutions with compression as compensation for fluctuations of internet bandwidth on his end

  • Mudakuntweets Mudakun - Covid Hikikomori De Gozaimasu Hai (@Mudakuntweets) reported

    @latenitenoah Yes but can you get it to open Skype, rather than play some idiot self-help guru's podcast?

  • 7leaguebootdisk Death will not release you (@7leaguebootdisk) reported

    @gravislizard One of my favorite podcasts, in the first 50+ episodes, had all kind of issues, like 10 minute dropouts because Skype failed, and it didn't get edited out. Really smooth is nice, but good content can win.

  • DJordydj Jorge Osbourne (@DJordydj) reported

    @Skype Please fix the Xbox app, it's awful. Or at least please let us use Discord natively on the Xbox.

  • VkRanjitha VK.Ranjitha (@VkRanjitha) reported

    @AvinashDivya3 I saw to many persons like this and don't try to rule me Avinash it's my demand I never share my WhatsApp number to anyone only skype.if you don't like this no issues you can block me

    @MicrosoftHelps @SkypeSupport Not working for me :/ I tried everything

  • GrahamGords1001 Gords, Liberalist #PBFYYC (@GrahamGords1001) reported

    @SimonMagus @_HelenDale We have a server purely for me and the kids to communicate if gaming, we're all in the same house, but it saves shouting up and down stairs. It's much more useful than using in game chat, but that's not its only use, just one of the more obvious ones, it works better than skype

  • DrMelon 🍉 Melon 🍉 (@DrMelon) reported

    @herberticus Not sure about a direct way - but I wonder if you could get a UK number through a service like Skype, and initiate the call that way?

  • geoffwhiteart Geoff White (@geoffwhiteart) reported

    @Skype hi I want to reactivate my credit but no longer use the email I set up with. I’ve complete two account recovery requests but can’t be recognised, I need help. I use an email that I was notified about the credit.

  • valerie_di Valerie DiMambro (@valerie_di) reported

    @Skype why did you auto charge me today when I: 1. Canceled auto renew in 2019 2. Removed my credit card on file 3. My last credit card on file expired 10 months ago (removed 18 months ago) Your site provides 0 help with refund requests & unapproved charges. How is that possible?

  • 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.

  • narminshyva Narmin Shafi (@narminshyva) reported

    @mentalspl I use email, Skype, and Teams. No need to migrate. Before been everywhere, now trying to narrow it down:) If urgent, I can always call people, or they can do the same. Like good old times:)
