    @DragonAndTheFox It can also lead to kidney issues if someone is forced to "hold it in" or gets into the bad habit. My right kidney does not function well so I just go when I need to. I'm not screwing around with my health because of a zoom/skype/teams meeting.

  • BruceLevenstein Bruce Levenstein (@BruceLevenstein) reported

    The biggest problem with all the Zoom/Skype/Teams work meetings is that people never stop talking.

  • fibreglassgirl Suzanne Wood (@fibreglassgirl) reported

    @tomcopsymes @ric_cole Teams/Skype meetings need managing differently. If the boss is chairing, someone else should be monitoring chat: seeing who's having connection issues, identifying points being raised & keeping the chairperson apprised to ensure items don't get missed. Some speak; others type.

    Now I am confused, how does blocking someone on Skype to address drama that you cause yourself work? Would it not be better to not block the sensible party and at least talk to them in a civilised manner? Discussion works better than hiding with your problems

    @Optus @OptusEnterprise technical experts tell me the attached video call images (WhatsApp, Duo, Skype) on the new @Google Pixel 5 is NOT an issue. I raised a concern (BASC01707166) on the very day I got my phone only to be told "you are on your own with this phone and (1/3)

    @XboxSupport Skype keeps on crashing on both of my XSX consoles, I've tried a full factory reset but it still occurs. The Xbox UI slowly becomes unresponsive before the app crashes and occasionally the console shuts itself down.

  • DrFernKazlow Dr. K (@DrFernKazlow) reported

    @Skype I'm locked out of my account, password doesn't work, and despite having emails from Skype to my email address, Skype says it doesn't recognize the address. Account recovery isn't working and I can't reach a human. PMed you yesterday, no response...please help.

  • scmresearcher Andreas Wieland (@scmresearcher) reported

    @chrschwaegerl I can't remember a single Skype connection with not at least one minor glitch.

  • JPilgrim16 Chill One (@JPilgrim16) reported

    How support calls feel: "I have this super urgent issue that needs to be fixed now and can't wait" OK can I call you? "mobile is not charged" Skype? "doesn't work" Teams? "don't have it" Email? "can't I'm in meetings all day" OK fine, I'll have to look later "UNACCEPTABLE!"

  • GreatGothNinja Wayne Owens (@GreatGothNinja) reported

    @Breaking911 Biden's a lot smarter about that than his son, but there are tapes. INTERVIEWEE: Hunter supposedly had some of them. But there are videos that he's made. There are Skype videos where it's him but it's from here down with a child where he's talking to someone & you can't see face
