I've found the button where you actually, properly close Skype so that it doesn't magically open itself back up again, and Skype has responded by starting to freeze entirely so I can't shut it down at all. 1-0 to them tbh

@mfullard2 That is a terrible idea. Can’t they use Skype or Zoom instead? I know a company in Gauteng that wanted to take its staff on an excursion it cancelled at the last moment because they got a skrik because someone got Covid in the team before the event! Covid is far from over.

My company has taken us off Skype and switched us to @Microsoft teams full time. I am at about 25% on response rate because nobody knows when I have sent them an DM. Microsoft fix this please. We are all remote and nobody knows I'm talking to them. ARGH

@nagirrock @FishChips1 I had an hour long Skype with @fishchips1 about this issue and I#can safely say that “balanced” is being used instead of “agreeing with my way”. It’s expected in an emotive issue that when people disagree, the easiest rebuttal is accusation of bias, rather than debating evidence

@snowwhitehogie My manager said progress report every hour...this is after you send your tasks broken down by the hour in the first 30 mins of your shift...and skype should always have you as online unless on lunch 🙄🙄🙄🙄

@tomarbuthnot I'm not sure Teams will ever resonate as a consumer service. They had a consumer brand in Skype and I think its fair to say they didn't really land it.

0th world problem: meeting with large companies & downloading their IT-selected Skype/Webex/Bluejeans/etc. only to trash it right after each call. Way less frustrating than getting on a plane ofc.

Anyone had the issue where Skype detects your mic, but has no input to it? Mic works everywhere except for zoom and Skype. They both see the mic, but I get no levels. I have privacy permission in windows.... Pulling my hair out.

Job just told me I had to take #BLM down from my Skype "What's Happening Today?". Mind you it has been there for a LONG while. Seems odd that after speaking to HR about the #covid BILL #AB1867 they are NOT following. My sup is asked if I no called no showed on a vacation day and

So... after an update on my PC I now have something called "meet now" randomly in the corner of my task bar. After searching I found it's connected to Skype and can be removed by uninstalling Skype... One problem... I don't have Skype installed... so how tf did this get on my PC?

@chuggaaconroy As a Yugioh player I can sympathize with this. We have remote play, which you basically use Skype to show your board and there are official tournaments that way, along with unofficial ones on simulators, so we know what’s broken and thus expensive that way. But yeah, that sucks.

@James_AG1 @TheFantasyMoose No, its about limiting the amount of time it is wreaking havoc. Australia is almost 100% open and back to normal now. Short term economic pain = long term gain. Also, there are programs that help to limit instances of what you have posted. Zoom calls/skype/whatever.

@Bell_Aliant my mother is going in for surgery and will only be able to Skype with family because we can’t be there due to #Covid_19. I can’t get anyone at bell to allow her to add more data to her plan so she can do this. Can someone help please. #alone #pleasehelp

We will be at the mercy of CNA staff to help her keep it charged. She was averse to learning anything technology for years. Only use case is being able to call her Facetime. Skype is too complicated with too many small ui elements. Hard of hearing lip reader.

@ShazinOr I'm so sorry, what a horrible reason to finally be together. I'm thankful for your family's service and sacrifices. I did 18 years, Navy, was lucky, missed one year of holidays/birthdays with my kids. No skype/zoom back then, what a luxury!

@LozzaFox Blame the GP service for that. They have sat on their fat-salaried backsides and refused to see patients for 8 months now. You cannot diagnose illness remotely, you have to get up close to horrid, *****, infected people and EXAMINE them. Most cancers aren't visible on Skype
