  • piperlastrega Cristina Accardi #Antifa 👩🏻‍🦯 💛 (@piperlastrega) reported

    Good evening, @skypesupport. I sent you a DM yesterday, because there are some problems with the iPhone app.

  • rstrahs Rich Strahs (@rstrahs) reported

    @iamjondraper @DickVanKlondike If I still had a wrestling podcast you would be more than welcome to come on. Between Skype not working and work schedule and wrestling just sucking it wasn't worth it

  • therealkatburns KASHKA ✨ (Kat Burns) (@therealkatburns) reported

    @callow_explorer skype camera looked fine. audio slightly out of sync. issue might be my older computer. 🤷

  • belenadas Belén Sousa (@belenadas) reported

    It's impossible to contact the customer service of @tapairportugal. More than 30 min waiting in the Skype call. I need to extend the date of expire of a voucher because due to Covid restrictions I can't use those vouchers. Please help!

  • howiecohen Howie "Not a Cat" Cohen (@howiecohen) reported

    @ramdonomo Same here. I bet Skype is down too, Downdetector showed almost everything MS web-based down.

  • EmzOLV EmzOLV (@EmzOLV) reported

    @Hexy It’s a huge huge pain. It’s made me definitely try to shut down my Skype account as I can’t handle going through all that again

  • textexin tex -Tweeto, ergo sum- (@textexin) reported

    @skypesupport Periodically deactivating skype credit is akin to a bank just keeping your money. Despite my using my account you deactivated credit. Help says there is a reactivate credit option somewhere, but not where. I cant find it.

    @discord why are people saying that people are using skype now, when tf did that happen, am I just dumb or what, TWITTER HELP

  • PittaMan Justin Pitta (@PittaMan) reported

    @Milnertime04 @JezCorden Bluetooth is plenty stable. The @Xbox mobile app has been on a downward slide in usefulness for two years. It may be pretty, but its awful. I don't have BT issues with Skype, Zoom, or phone calls....

  • MisterMamuta 𝙈𝙧. 𝙈𝙖𝙢𝙪𝙩𝙖 (@MisterMamuta) reported

    Skype is getting shut down this year.

  • codewithArvind Arvind Patel (@codewithArvind) reported

    Hello @ViCustomerCare, I have complaint 50+ time about your internet service issue (some site is not accessible after 5pm like skype, Yahoo, Netflix) in our area. Please resolve issue on soon as possible.

  • WildNbratty princess❤️wildnbratty (@WildNbratty) reported

    Down to do a few **** rates before bed!!! Maybe a Skype? Maybe a drain? Someone entertain me😱

  • freudian_miss Janice Payne Witchtress (@freudian_miss) reported from Portland, Oregon

    @BackCindi I do offer that service through zoom/Skype or in person (with a mask).

  • tedevium Tedevium (@tedevium) reported

    @mints4friends Eww, Skype is still in service?

  • cranjuicelover clee (@cranjuicelover) reported

    Microsoft teams down globally just led to me having to have a Skype meeting which led to me not knowing how the camera off function works on Skype which led to me showing myself in my robe to my entire team. My origin story.

  • DanHMedina Daniel (@DanHMedina) reported

    @Office365 guys really need you to get it together. Microsoft teams down, skype down, phones are down.. business is dead in the water. No comms from your support team yet is a concern. #techsupport

  • 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.

  • RuthFalcon12 Ruth Falcón (@RuthFalcon12) reported

    @Skype I need some help I pay my plan and my créditos were not activated... Help me please!

  • GuyBenJonesSM GuyBenJonesSM 💙 (@GuyBenJonesSM) reported

    @ALICE_McCARTHY_ You could use Zoom or Skype; even something such as Twitch or another video-game streaming program. Doesnt have to be too fancy. What would be more important is having a decent camera & microphone connected to the computer as those are what tend to let down the quality of streams

  • cenobyte Millicent "captain of my soul" Bystander (@cenobyte) reported

    So, anyone else having weird server problems with Roll20 on an ongoing basis? What other TTRPG services are good and free for players? I’m willing to pay as DM. Note: I won’t use Skype; have used Zoom & other conferencing; don’t want to **** around with cameras for the map.

  • _Rbot_ Rooben.avi (@_Rbot_) reported

    Im in a skype call called actual Mishas please help me

  • karenb0716 Karen by birth, not behavior (@karenb0716) reported

    I just let our IT Dept know (via Skype) that Microsoft Teams is down. Does that count as productivity?

  • EmzOLV EmzOLV (@EmzOLV) reported

    @Hexy My impression is (and just from the Skype process) that it seems easier for folks to hack into an account, than for someone genuine to get their account back / get into their account if there's a problem. I'm not sure what to suggest 😓

  • UODiehard86 DP (@UODiehard86) reported

    @goducksgirl @Microsoft The agency I work for moved from Skype to Teams and it’s been terrible

  • AbrarSMudhir Abrar Mudhir (@AbrarSMudhir) reported

    @ValaAfshar ... true iff in(lock-down, covid, have zoom, have slack, have google meet, have teams, have skype) and not (misinformation)

  • IGotChuSuckaa IGotChuSukaa.live (@IGotChuSuckaa) reported

    Me: He messaged me IN DISCORD his Skype id. Like why not just call on discord?! @thetrai14762982: "hang on mate just turning down my chemical romance and ill log out of myspace" 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

  • HerMajestyJade 👑 𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐣𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲 𝓙𝓪𝓭𝓮 👑 (@HerMajestyJade) reported

    If a Domme says she doesn’t do skype you don’t ask her why or try to convince her. If that is my boundary accept, respect it, and if you really want it that bad they’re other ****** that offer that service but be CLEAR with your intentions.

  • RuthFalcon12 Ruth Falcón (@RuthFalcon12) reported

    @Skype please help me. I pay for my plan and I cannot call my mom in Venezuela 💔😥

  • callow_explorer Kieron Circuit 📷 (@callow_explorer) reported

    it's for the OBS overloading. I couldn't post the link in twitch - hopefully seeing how Skype handles the camera will be of some help at least! Maybe a bit of a good old fashioned restart might help too (if you haven't tried)!
