    Since I no longer came, I closed down the Skype that I used to use for cam shows. People kept messaging me on there and I just dont have time to respond when I havent cammed in almost a year

  • thepolishpen Hey you guys! (@thepolishpen) reported

    @RoninSamTripoli Who is responsible for Zoom’s swift takeover of video communication? It was overnight. I work for a large co. (a Business Roundtable member) and they wasted no time dumping Skype. It was odd because it was right on the heels of all the reports of Zoom’s terrible security flaws.

  • JamesBrownsell James Brownsell (@JamesBrownsell) reported

    So this is ****. Home phone line down. Our TV is through Amazon fire. Mobile coverage in corner of one bedroom only. So no internet, no TV, no phone calls, no Zoom or Skype. And a wife and 4yo at home for Christmas in lockdown. And @SkyUK can't send an engineer until Dec 27.

    @grimalkina Not this year but from 2007 to 2013 I worked mainly for a small company near Brussels whose wokforce was globally distributed. It worked really well. We used JIRA for task management, Skype for discussions, central get togethers for staff and family to help build a community...

  • PeterSciretta Peter Sciretta loves Star Wars (@PeterSciretta) reported

    Anyone have an @elgato wave 1 or 3 and uses Wave Link know how to hook up Skype to it? Having issues where I THOUGHT it was hooked up correctly (Skype outputting to the voice chat channel through the app settings) but the audio wasn’t coming throughout OBS once I got on a call.

  • GoodVibezQueenB QueenMomma👑 (@GoodVibezQueenB) reported

    I do not know how to work Skype help lol

  • irsyadhadip icad. (@irsyadhadip) reported from Beji Timur, Jawa Barat

    so how did I get in touch with people? I had iPad that was only used at home to have a Skype call with family in Indonesia. And luckily that American are very very obedient when making appointments, so not having a cellphone was not a big problem.

  • emilymjohnson14 emilymjohnson (@emilymjohnson14) reported

    @SkypeSupport HOW DID SKYPE BECOME SUCH A WORTHLESS, OUTDATED APPLICATION. I HAD IT FOR OVER 10 YEARS AND NOW IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO USE IT, TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. LOOKING FOR ALTERNATES NOW.

  • GucciGoldstein (((Gucci Goldstein)) (@GucciGoldstein) reported

    @Timcast Pick up a phone and call ppl or do a Zoom, Skype or Webex chat. Problem solved.

  • mcwhallen The Dude McWhalen (@mcwhallen) reported

    @RedDragon2008 @JediMVP Was it really saving the day? He could have showed up himself and defeated Kylo Ren. Instead he Skype calls in and dies. The most jedi thing Luke could have done was actually leave to go help when Rey said "Bruh empire back, your sister needs help."

  • El_Gibso Calum Gibson (@El_Gibso) reported

    @TalkTalk as promised: just got a message saying Skype has used loads of mobile data. But I was on WiFi surely? Nah, it cut out. I now only have 300mb of data left until the 18th of Jan. That's been 1.7GB in 2 days because your service is awful.

  • Mahesh89264080 Mahesh (@Mahesh89264080) reported

    @shiofficialxox Can anyone help me how to transfer money to her if you previously done skype with her?

  • terrinakamura Terri Nakamura (@terrinakamura) reported

    @smokie62smokie Skype seems to be one that everyone has. For me there always seems to be a glitch on Zoom. People forget to turn on video, microphones or can’t figure out how to join the chat

  • jennifertchan Jennifer Taylor Chan (@jennifertchan) reported

    @RogerJBaker No issues whatsoever. You can't even tell that Rosetta is translating native Intel apps. Most of my apps are basic, though: the suite of Microsoft Office apps, Notion, Spotify, Todoist or Things 3, Zoom, Skype, Dropbox, Adobe Acrobat, Lightroom, etc.

  • _Rbot_ Rooben.avi (@_Rbot_) reported

    Im in a skype call called actual Mishas please help me

  • KatePinchuck Kate Pinchuck (@KatePinchuck) reported

    As 2020 wraps up, I can’t help thinking about what an embarrassing year this has been for Skype
