  • cydelafield Christy Delafield (@cydelafield) reported

    Some odd Skype/wifi glitch resulted in my unintentionally sending the message "Thank you!" quite a few times at random. Although if this is the message the record is getting stuck on it could be a lot worse tbh

  • RichJamesBits Richard James (District4) (@RichJamesBits) reported

    I hate having to try things this way, but yo, @SkypeSupport anyone work there? Everything on your help page seems hell bent on not helping. So, you know, good job on building that.

    @suchi_kulkarni @zoom_us @Skype If I remember correctly I had similar problems shortly after upgrading. However I did a lot of reinstallations after upgrading and now everything works without a problem. So I would suggest to delete (properly) the applications and reinstall them. Have you already tried this?

    bruh @HuionTab is telling me to download skype for customer service and send money to their paypal 😭 i cant deal with whatever foolery is going on here

  • ChrisInParis ChrisInParis (@ChrisInParis) reported

    @megabreadvan Same for me with the US, it's been years. With friends and family Skype or Telegram, etc are fine but hoping to find a good word or comparison about the options for a cheap service.

  • SiddallBarry Barry Siddall (@SiddallBarry) reported

    Tonight's Newsnight was a mess 😬 The problems with Skype live feeds have plagued us for the last year. Tonights was one of the worst. A professor influencing what the probe on Mars has to look for couldn't even arrange a half decent connection 😖 Shame on him and the BBC 😬

    @suchi_kulkarni @zoom_us @Skype so strange. ive upgraded basically minutes after it was available and I have no issues whatsoever

    @GuesthouseGreg @NPR Have you heard of a service called Zoom? Similar to Skype? Got extremely popular in 2020?

  • beverleyturner Bev Turner (@beverleyturner) reported

    @karenredhed Well... Our WiFi is terrible due to @virginmedia. So lots of faffing. Eventually out into garden to Skype on phone. So not much time But always grateful to get on @thismorning.

  • llsethj Seth Weintraub (@llsethj) reported

    @jsatk yeah it just worked™ out of the box. There was some capture software issues with Big Sur that you had to manually install audio capture software from Rogue Amoeba but things like Facetime and Meets (+ skype/Zoom,etc) were just in a dropdown menu selection

  • alanmonolith A.Monolith (@alanmonolith) reported

    @sarahbennetto If your laptop has Skype then call someone on there who can then help you call o2 via speaker on their laptop to 0344 809 0222

  • jayzcoz jayzco (@jayzcoz) reported

    @BabyzSmudge They will have ‘leave a message’ service as they won’t staff it properly. I hear music and road and airport noise ahead. Multiple calls...can do it via Skype all day if you have an internet service. Redial. Redial.

    @yeast223 I have Microsoft word business plan on my Apple desktop if you need help via Skype or whatnot.

  • UgotBronx MichelefromdaBronx (@UgotBronx) reported

    You'd think by now with all of the zoom meetings, Skype meetings, all the interviews that people would know by now to either have a headset or to mute themselves if they're not being spoken to so that we don't have feedback issues! 🤦 #capitolhillhearings

    @SkypeSupport Honestly, I hate doing this. But I'm at my wits end and I need some help here. The offer for a bribe still stands

  • Rajjah PoshPug (@Rajjah) reported

    @anakin2005sky It looked more cinematic but made no sense. What a terrible way to kill off BOTH Luke and Leia. Death by using force Skype too hard. Mark Hamill loves the fandom, he would have loved to come back for more. But TLJ is a supremely selfish movie unconcerned with the franchise.

    Other thing I got blamed for: "messing with Skype", when 1) I've never used Skype; 2) the probleme is that you don't know how to log out of an account, and don't remember your login

  • SharLovegrove Sharmaine Lovegrove is away (@SharLovegrove) reported

    @Damian_Barr I just have to remember that you are not on it and use SMS. I always find it odd that the same function (text messaging service) can go out of use. In the UK, Whatsapp is to SMS what Zoom is to Skype.
