    @TalkTalk hi, over the last couple of days my internet has been so slow. I’m working from home and at points I’ve not been able to have Skype calls due to internet connection. I’ve reported it and TalkTalk are saying there’s no issue. Please can you help?

  • JUstMove92 Christian (@JUstMove92) reported

    @ElrondGaming @JezCorden "Skype for Business Online End of Life is officially July 31, 2021. This means that effective after that date, the service will no longer be accessible. While those who currently use SfB-O will not be affected immediately, it does mean the days are numbered."

    And RIP my laptop’s audio capabilities too since the broken part of my earphones is stuck inside. I guess I’ll just have to do Skype calls on my phone , and only watch movies on my phone.

    @jmhorp I've done job interviews with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, and Google Hangouts. Skype is easily the worst. It's just such a pain. (Google Hangouts is also pretty terrible.)

  • KimBea Kimberly Bea (@KimBea) reported

    This weekend I have two dance classes, a Zoom meeting, and Skype meeting, and a movie I'm supposed to watch for the Zoom meeting. Trying to squeeze in at least 6 hours #revision around those things. Two down already!

    Hi @SkypeSupport, on Feb 4th my credit (4 USD) was inactivated. I received an email indicating that I could reactivate it at any time. Today I tried to do it, but appears "You don't have Skype credit to reactivate". Please can you help me to recover the balance I had? Thanks

    @howdydogchair @SuggestiveGames Impotent move, the shut down napster inside three years it gave rise to kazaa and morpheus, kazaa going more popular and loner lived than napster. Which in turn muscled morpheus out of the space (which became gnutella). The p2p backend on kazaa lead to the development of skype

  • hejhejnatalya Natalya M. (@hejhejnatalya) reported

    @jameswarfield @mkruz @Will_Humphrey Yes. At one point I had email, Slack, and MS Teams, and one manager who still sent me Skype messages because they hadn’t fully shut it down yet.

  • w4rlock Muscled Horde Tattoo Guy (@w4rlock) reported

    Just finished a Skype call and I had Chrome with a few Twitter windows open in the background. Everything was sluggish, took 60 seconds to end! For some reason, Chrome was eating 37gb of memory, according to Activity Monitor. Wtf, Chrome?!?! Clean up your memory caching issues!

  • ritalinabuser d💸 (@ritalinabuser) reported

    @GarbageEgirl in Skype people would constantly have trouble connecting and in the few cases you could connect the bitrate was like half a bit a minute, it was barely words going through. only thing that worked properly was just dms

  • bobafettishWoW Nigel Cox (@bobafettishWoW) reported

    So news stories are appearing on bad posture due to zoom meetings etc. Yet every zoom/Skype interview has a guest looking down at the camera monitor Simple tip use old text books old phone books anything to support the weight of the monitor so you are now looking straight ahead.

    I said to my class, good job, #Skype, the world's biggest IM app is still one of the most broken.

    @bcanini @MrMichaelBurkes Help how ? He doesn’t control state funds. Abbott does. He can’t send FEMA. Biden does that. Any ideas or requests could have been done via Zoom or Skype.
