Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • marceschulz Marce (rhymes with farce) (@marceschulz) reported

    @CapitalOne CC was compromised & canceled early Dec. You sent new card to my US mail address; never arrived. Sent a 2nd direct to me in Malaysia, never arrived. Nearly 3 months, hours on the phone via Skype and I’m still cardless. Mail not working, need courier. Help!

  • uncl3dumby dumby. (@uncl3dumby) reported

    So, figured I'd give MS365 personal a try. Phew... lots to complain about. Went all-out with a custom domain which was SUPER painful and confusing. They've got a huge problem separating the UX of free/paid users. And apparently you can't disable receiving spam calls on Skype?

  • cherrydroodles 🌸🍒 Cherry 🍒🌸 (@cherrydroodles) reported

    @_ShayGar_ tbh I wish msn messenger were still around 🥺 I was forced to move to skype when it shut down 😔

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

  • _Rbot_ Rooben.avi (@_Rbot_) reported

  • pomidorchi K. Barabanoff (@pomidorchi) reported

    With all that endless video conference calls, Apple may introduce a global MUTE MIC hotkey, which works independently of the VC app (Zoom, Teams, Skype,..) and shuts your voice down effectively in #macOS. I have tested a dozen of solutions. None of which works as expected. Ideas?

  • mikaelporttila MIKΛΞL (@mikaelporttila) reported

    @MicrosoftTeams Error message: MA/DeviceManager Active device not found, my microphone works with other apps such as discord in browser, and skype for business, there is something off with your web client. Is there a way to rollback to the old web version?

    @Willow__Bella It's so tragic and terrible sad that Toby lost his life so early on his life. It's even more terrible when we can all see that GP's are just not available and even when they are, tjhey only do conference consultations on Skype.

  • eMeKavelli Status 200 ♓️ (@eMeKavelli) reported

    @lowcostbeans I recorded the Skype call. Man sunny really broke down this C# thing. Watch it and remain blessed.

  • fkyesss Emma (@fkyesss) reported

    @GreatKatzby03 @atRiskyVenture Been down this road before when I was a member of several private trading groups on Skype. Not practical for a whole host of reasons which I am too tired to get into again here. But I appreciate the suggestions/sentiment :)

  • shortheels blue, please look at 📌 ! (@shortheels) reported

  • bronze_adam Adam Bronze (@bronze_adam) reported

    @TheRock has the video update down pat. I wish I could jump on a Skype call with the team sweaty, shirtless, and out of breathe and provide a big project update then say mahalo and eat 45000 calories.

  • mruef Marc Ruef (@mruef) reported

    Somebody trying to identify my current IP address via Skype for days. And to login to some of my services. Looks like somebody really wants to know what I'm up to. I can tell you: Having fun with the original Game Boy DMG-101 with an IPS screen replacement. Nothing more.

  • bot_ghoul GhoulBot (Brain Damaged) (@bot_ghoul) reported

    Innocent-seeming text posted on Xamarin could cause you lots of trouble, due to development of Skype to deduce things about you.

  • jaymelbe Ph. D. Jérémie Melchior #SurfaceDuo (@jaymelbe) reported

    @FremyCompany mmh.. ok. Haven't used rooms. That's indeed annoying when that happens. I know there are lots of issues if Skype for business is running. Anyone still using it?

  • pdismore p diz (@pdismore) reported

    @ClayTravis If staff is so scared to go back, and the science shows it is safe for kids... why not have a projector in the class for the teacher to be remote and do a skype or zoom?? Then have a 'hall-monitor'(s) wearing PPE, walking up and down checking on the kids?

  • Gamblingoperat Gambling Operators (@Gamblingoperat) reported
