  • vteclimey Matthew Taylor (@vteclimey) reported

    @LavenderLady0 Honest question, as I'm sure you're not the only one feeling that way. Would getting a few folks onto a Skype call to talk rubbish for an hour be of any help?

  • pcilla1234 Priscilla G (@pcilla1234) reported

    I have had days at work where in the space of hours I have been on a Zoom call, a Teams call, a Google call and a Skype call. So I understand Mr. van der Veen’s frustration. We must unite around one technology. This is the problem of the day. Do we have the courage to face it?

  • jeanni_art Jeanni Grant-Nelson (@jeanni_art) reported

    @Skype please help. I have a very distressed elderly friend who is isolating and has accidentally lost his Skype account and all contacts. He is extremely distressed and needs to speak to someone to help as online instructions only making it worse. Please help now. Today.

  • TimonySouler Timony Souler (@TimonySouler) reported

    @Cirice_Medea As soon as I have the go ahead from the doctors I am down for Skype sessions! Also, have you had a coregasm yet!?

  • hkashfi Hamid K (@hkashfi) reported

    @caseyjohnellis Skype has similar service, but I skipped it mostly due to spotty SMS deliveries on virtual numbers.

  • BenDavisPurcell Ben Davis-Purcell (@BenDavisPurcell) reported

    @kratsg @Skype @SkypeSupport I’ve been having the same issue for months now too...

  • mistersql Matthew Martin (@mistersql) reported

    @robjamison Yeah, Skype (esp the international calling stuff) is like buying a regulated utility, not really MS's strength area. Also doesn't help that MS buys products where they already have existing worse products-Teams, but with much better connected VPs who've an incentive to sabotage.

  • jterwilligerii Jay D Terwilliger II (@jterwilligerii) reported

    @khaled_Jabr Especially for one on one calls I've never really had a problem with #Skype, but I know a lot of people have less than optimal experiences.

  • oldspeak1 Simon Doherty (@oldspeak1) reported

    Isn't it weird that, when there was suddenly a humongous demand for their service, Skype faded away into nothing and Zoom, an unknown entity, was just there. Surely this should have been Skype's moment. Gutted.

  • Hedreich Hedreich Nichols (@Hedreich) reported

    @JuliaFliss You need anything I can help with? Emergency lesson plans? Mystery Skype where I am run point? Something else?

  • Villezekeviking Ville (Engholm) Gullstrand (@Villezekeviking) reported from Örebro Kommun, Örebro län

    @MKressmark @mozzeph I have a customer with similar issues but not exactly the same. They want to remain in the teams call muted while handling the phone call but without having Skype running in the background, the teams call is put on hold instead of just going on

  • mimismumma Proud Mumma (@mimismumma) reported

    @bjpren I’m not cabled - connecting to the router via WiFi which probably doesn’t help. I hate teams but the company has just moved us all over to it from Skype (which I preferred)

  • spam3rella Canadian CuckCake (@spam3rella) reported

    I have two slots left for skype dates tomorrow night.. if youre feeling down about being single and wanna play, dm me! $20/20mins 9:30\10pm available

  • gsespinto_ Gonçalo Pinto (@gsespinto_) reported

    It's 2013. You're listening to Fix You - Coldplay on repeat. Your hopeful lonely *** has Facebook open to check out messages. You and the boys hop on a Skype call to play some Minecraft. Life was simpler. Life kinda sucked tbh. **** that.

  • Toadcialism Antifa Amphibian Czar🌹🔥 (@Toadcialism) reported

    @generativist I always propose just using the damn phone first and cite my mic issues. I have some clients in Europe and South America who I have to Skype with, though.

  • aus1en Austen (@aus1en) reported

    @Skype I need a refund for my subscription last month that I didn't use due to technical issues #Skype

  • fredyin Fred Yin (@fredyin) reported

    @fsmontenegro @danielkennedy74 @j_opdenakker You guys should Lync up to help catch this Skype-fore he gets away.

  • ricardo11997766 RB (@ricardo11997766) reported

  • The_Koloss Oximodious (@The_Koloss) reported

    @Nitrado_EN had a server with you guys for three days now and barely been able to play because it just kicks me out after around three minutes, and put in a ticket, tried calling the hotline on the site, AND a skype call and cant get any help anywhere, so far so good ....

  • Notorious_FIFA xNoToRi0uSx (@Notorious_FIFA) reported

    Random tip - don't add anyone that you DON'T KNOW onto your Skype. You can get DOXXED. If someone has the intention to ruin your life, they will do so.... you can tracked down (ie. if someone gets your IP or personal information through other ways).

  • hkashfi Hamid K (@hkashfi) reported

    @caseyjohnellis Skype has similar service, but I skipped it mostly due to spotty SMS deliveries on virtual numbers. If you want to avoid 3rd party VoIP, then a combo of E-SIM+SIM is the best.

    @zhandlen Alternately you do it Skype style and do a count down
