    .@HuaweiEU My camera swap button doesn't work anymore on my P30 Lite. When I try to take a photo and swap the camera, the Camera App closes. When I try to use it in Messenger, Skype or WhatsApp, it simply doesn't change the camera. Help?

  • edent Terence Eden (@edent) reported

    @lisybabe that's a useful idea. Skype let's you call regular phone numbers, but I don't think it links with their video service. You can merge calls on mobile phone - call your friend, then the energy company, then merge. But that's voice only. Not video.

  • Ben_Froedge Ben Froedge (@Ben_Froedge) reported

    @itswhitneymeyer @rgay It just plain works better for me. I've no had no problems with GM, but Skype was always worthless, and Zoom always seems to have lag/dropping for me.

    @SkypeSupport Please help with ticket No. SIR2853955 for unlocking my skype ID

  • LucioLopezGP Lucio L. (@LucioLopezGP) reported

    @NikiKovacs @motomatters @KTM_Racing I do really hate zoom, and so much used to cisco. The thing is that Webex is gonna need more bandwidth and could be a problem at circuits. Skype should be an alternative.

  • askleo Ask Leo! 💻 (@askleo) reported

    @robman50a Several possible reasons. First thing I would do, though, is try s different video chat (zoom, skype, etc) and see if the problem is there also.

  • ellethejambo Ellen (@ellethejambo) reported

    Techy friends anyone able to help me with Teams? On Zoom and Skype my camera is fine yet on teams I appear sideways 😭 what am I doing wrong?

  • Worldgirl1 Lucille 🇨🇦🇪🇺🇬🇧 #FBPPR (@Worldgirl1) reported

    @Grinzing03 @Channel4News I do too & haven't seen them in almost 3 years. But it's too risky now & I accept the tradeoff; many others do too. Skype etc not ideal but do help with contact Unless UK & Europe, for that matter, accept short term annoyance of no int'l travel, we won't get control of this.

  • Stirling Peter David Widen (@Stirling) reported

    @Balancement @Microsoft They suspended my Skype account for no reason 3 weeks ago...hellish trying to get a response from ten different customers “Service” reps over weeks. Yes, Kafka stars in a remake of “Catch 22”. (And I need Skype because there’s no mobile phone service on this island in Fiji.

  • txfeetsub Serve You (@txfeetsub) reported

    I feel so gross after serving on Skype and *******. 🥴 But I can't help it before hand.

  • Meredith_Bae_ Meredith (@Meredith_Bae_) reported

    @jedicamgirl @Chlo_Cassidy Skype definitely has its technological issues. But other than idiots thinking that Skype automatically means they can pay without tokens, it’s pretty secure. Just don’t give them any leeway when they ask if they can pay with PayPal instead.

  • mxash_ Ash (@mxash_) reported

    help i just had a flashback to when i was like 14 and had a crush on an online mutual friend that hung around my old skype group and was a ✨massive✨ ******* to him as a result of said crush

  • TWXNFIT Twan (@TWXNFIT) reported

    @lyndssss Unrelated—But my professor just threw the phrase “devils advocate” in the lecture & spoke on some bullshit immediately after. Skype school need to be taken down now.

  • ProfessorOats Professor Oats (@ProfessorOats) reported

    @PharaohSSB Not only top level, cuz I was there, but that was a thing with the Yoshi skype in early S4, which died down and turned into the Yoshi discord, and then, well, the rest is history 🙃

  • WCWThunderPod Days of Thunder- A WCW Thunder Rewatch Podcast (@WCWThunderPod) reported

    We had multiple issues with our audio tracks, as well as skype absolutely imploding and having to switch to Zoom to finish the show. And about 10 mins of it was so fecked I cut it.

  • jdclarknovelist 𝙹𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚗 𝙳. 𝙲𝚕𝚊𝚛𝚔 (@jdclarknovelist) reported

    @MisterLeaves I wouldn’t be opposed to having a 1 on 1 conversation. You will, of course, have to ask me again the day of the conversation, but only because Skype advises you to do so to “avoid legal issues.”

  • HelloNowLeaving Eunice Hennion (@HelloNowLeaving) reported

    @DavidDTSS @tressiemcphd My kids think Skype's full name is "******* Skype" because I have issues almost every single time I use it.

  • QazzySmash Qazzy [Smash 4 Specialist] 🌈 (@QazzySmash) reported

    @bumblebella_ nah skype tripped and fell down a flight of stairs

  • elessar1191 chris (@elessar1191) reported from Heanor and Loscoe, England

    @DaveVescio People think they're climbing the walls cus of being locked down, stuck at home now. Imagine if it was in the 90s 😬 That would've truly driven us insane. No broadband. No smartphones. So no apps like Skype, Zoom or social media. Most folks (in UK) only had 5 TV channels.

  • 24JAlexander Alchemist Jay (@24JAlexander) reported

  • DeeJandHades DeeJ and Hades (@DeeJandHades) reported

    We are aware hades’s audio doesnt line up it was a skype issue :/

  • Criminolojen Jenny pon di block🦁 (@Criminolojen) reported

    Been WFH this week so it's easier to help sort funeral arrangements during the day. Not long had a work skype meeting. QUESTION to people frequently WFH, is turning a camera on mandatory or am I missing something?

  • AbyDarling Aby (@AbyDarling) reported

    We decided to keep it in-person, but w/ her & her boyfriend calling in online.. we set up a webcam and mics etc, so we'd all be in the one place & they'd Skype in. Personally, I find it super difficult bc of auditory processing issues, but I deal with it & don't complain...

  • SilverMoon1022 BlueMoon (@SilverMoon1022) reported

    I don't know if it's the jaws or skype... though I'm beginning to think it's skype since my jaws doesn't freeze, it literally freezes each and everytime I switch conversations. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas on how to solve it/
