  • Miss_Paran0ia Walking Crisis ☭ (@Miss_Paran0ia) reported

    @yukikopls Whatever helps is good! I could never do that offline cause I'm unconfortable being around persons and I really hate talking. With Skype etc it would be the same problem for me, I guess. So if you would want your therapist to do text-chat only, do you think they would accept it?

  • CorneliaVo Cornelia Dreßler-Vößing (@CorneliaVo) reported

    @IrinaNaum1 @MaryKayH188 Right now I´m chatting with my brother via facebook. I hope, he can help me. Unfortunately he lives far away, but I can explain the problem. Tomorrow in the evening we are going to skype. I hope, we can solve my problems then.

    @Microsoft What is wrong with your apps??? Skype, Outlook App and Link... I cannot login anywhere... What's going on?

  • WimminsRea ☀️ hi im huma ☀️ (@WimminsRea) reported

    Currently on Skype breaking down phrase for phrase Amy Klobucharizard's words for Mayor Pete so I can explain to Diego why and how she's so shady lmao and how Pete's angle in that feud is to pretend he has no idea that they're feuding. I love us Midwesterners so ******* much.

  • ProfessorMorph Professor Morph (@ProfessorMorph) reported

    Back in my school days, I used to use Skype with my friends on a daily basis. How ******** did Microsoft mess up a, like, 12 year lead on zoom? Why am I stuck tutoring my students with broken *** zoom?

  • shinydh David Howell (@shinydh) reported

    @maayanvoss @LisaNeher Thank you! I was just thinking about you because of the sheer unadulterated anxiety I had when one (1) phrase onset didn't work in the Skype workshop we did! I felt that awful about asking you to do something uncomfortable, even though the fix wasn't that big?

  • KanaMJAV Kanaan (@KanaMJAV) reported

    @Microsoft My computer microphone is not working when camera is on zoom, Microsoft teams and Skype meeting. All the setting were correct as it worked before without any issue.

  • cmpintennessee cmpintennessee (@cmpintennessee) reported

    @twcuddleston @pamMOvotes That is so friggin’ cool! When I Skype or zoom I try to get my cats to acknowledge the people in that screen. The person on the call is usually calling “Kitty, kitty, kitty!!” Being cats, they look everywhere but the screen and then insist on being put down. 😾

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

  • JK_LiveLife Jessica Karp (@JK_LiveLife) reported

    @IAmAmnaNawaz @WTOP Great job. So sorry about the technical issues. Does the NewsHour have to use Skype? I imagine so. So good to see you in that chair.

  • bgriffdizzle brandon griffett (@bgriffdizzle) reported

    @barstoolsports @allbusinesspete He needs to fix the pipes in @PardonMyTake studio and quit talking about a non existent Skype super server that doesn't exist

  • daydreamalot lynninthehouse (@daydreamalot) reported

    @mantalicious @LiseGot “Of course I don’t understand, you’re the problem here, obviously you are not qualified to train people to use Skype.” - my mother

  • chipmcdonald chip mcdonald (@chipmcdonald) reported

    @SkypeSupport @Fanfwe I'm having this happen, what is the problem?

  • desplesda Jon, from Videogames (@desplesda) reported

    @lazerwalker actually the main issue with skype is that it watermarks the image! it's simple enough to crop out but if you want fullscreen images you end up needing to ask your participants to sit off-center

  • imnotemilyok Elizabeth (@imnotemilyok) reported

    I miss my family and Skype won’t fix it.

  • georanma George (@georanma) reported

    @Crell Idk that I'd say gnome is any better. My audio devices switch constantly when I take calls on Skype or Teams. My favorite is swapping the mic to fix the sound output on a call.

  • _Rbot_ Rooben.avi (@_Rbot_) reported

  • MissMozDog Mrs McIntosh (@MissMozDog) reported

    @MsQuinnHistory Had a lot of internet issues this week as well - live rural so we have a 4G router as line internet got us speeds of less than 1MB. Router gets us more like 4-5MB consistently, still often have to switch to tethering off my phone if partner also has Skype going 😪

  • peteswandering Pete’s wandering (Despondent 🇨🇦 in 🇯🇵) (@peteswandering) reported

    2 Internet things that pissed me off this morning. 1. Having to enter address to sign up for something, including phone number, drop down countries includes Japan but it won’t accept the 11 digits number as valid. 2. Skype not accepting Japanese cell numbers for caller id

  • gavinrich3 gavin rich (@gavinrich3) reported

    @catacalypto I had a student who passed away and their skype account got hacked a year later. I broke down crying and pleaded with the person or bot or whatever to please not use that account. That split second of hope before your brain catches what is going on is crushing.

  • MinModulation Mini🎄Modu (@MinModulation) reported

    @OfficialMIIRSA discord has a big problem with this sometimes, audacity recordings won't be in sync etc could work with skype though

  • NDPAnton Anton (@NDPAnton) reported

    @AmazonHelp Good day! I ordered a laptop but sadly the wrong item was shipped. I am outside the USA and having the item returned will cost a lot of money. Anything we can do to solve this problem? I would be happy to call through skype or another online platform to resolve this.

  • christian1987T Christian (@christian1987T) reported

    @quantumtemporis Very easy. I start a call on Skype and in 2 seconds I'm ready for the meeting. And if they complain I say "Have you never heard about covid rules"? Done. I solved your problems and I spare even 1:58 minutes for a coffee, too.

  • sloppyposts non biney (@sloppyposts) reported

    remember that period between Messenger/Skype and Discord when we basically didnt have any widely used chat programs??? Messenger got shut down, after which Skype popped up, but then it got REALLY shitty so no one wanted to use it, and we had nothing??? that was ****** up

  • CyberMarcus2021 Marcus Malone (@CyberMarcus2021) reported

    @MichaelDoesLife Cyberpunk 1.1 patch just dropped Michael. Minimum done to fix the game. People still not smelling that coffee. Time to power up that Skype.
