  • AtholyMardies MartinG (@AtholyMardies) reported from Drochtersermoor, Lower Saxony

    @magrom @stefanotempesta @Outlook @Skype @SkypeBusiness @MicrosoftTeams if that still does not work, you need to figure out what's broken. I personally tend to just removing the registry entries at the addins hive. The procedure mentioned in the last tweets worked for me at customers, I was faced with migrating @SkypeBusiness to @MicrosoftTeams

  • puntofisso Giuseppe Sollazzo (@puntofisso) reported from London Colney, England

    @paulineyau My issue is that I've found myself waving at Skype calls even when the camera is off...

  • HonorclubDan DannYEET (@HonorclubDan) reported from Dana, North Carolina

    @MsCortneyJean @annemariebearr @CUTTlNGEDGE We’re all screwed. God help Matt if he really does show up on Skype

  • NikhilAgrawal44 Nikhil Agrawal ✌️ (@NikhilAgrawal44) reported from Kantābānji, State of Odisha

    We have tried contacting the reviews to ask if we can check his system via Skype or other to identify the problem but with no help. Even big companies sometimes needs to check the users system to identify the problem.

  • ginakoko6 Global Gina Ⓥ (@ginakoko6) reported from San Francisco, California

    can someone pls skype me i’m so anxious about my skype name being wrong or my webcam not working for this interview

  • amy_sine 💖Amy💖 (@amy_sine) reported from Winter Haven, Florida

    I NEVER log off my Skype because I have seizures. Makes it faster to contact and not having to worry about my login information. Get confused and my memory gets shot so it makes it to where I don't have to try and remember my login information.

  • amy_sine 💖Amy💖 (@amy_sine) reported from Winter Haven, Florida

    I NEVER log off of my Skype because I have seizures, so it makes it easier to contact my friends just on case. I do that because I get confused and my memory goes at the time so it makes it easier and faster to get a hold of someone. Get CONFUSED so I won't forget my login info.

  • alangore_sedona Alan Gore (@alangore_sedona) reported from Oak Creek, Arizona

    @SkypeSupport Thanks for getting back. The chat at your link worked, unlike the one I found on the Skype website, and I had a good discussion with your tech, but my problem isn’t fixed yet. Basically, all hell broke loose after I changed the credit card I subscribe with.

  • HuskerFox Heckles H. Hyena (@HuskerFox) reported from Montréal, Québec

    @leimlion Yeah I just installed it for some fun. Bringing back memories. It's the only thing I could ever use again since Microsoft locked me out of my own Hotmail account and refused to let me back in unless I paid for a subscription service. I lost access to my Skype & Messenger.

  • simonrjones Simon R Jones (@simonrjones) reported from Cambridgeshire, England

    @raymosley @OwlLabsInc Conf call system matters too. Had loads of issue with Skype, Zoom is very good.

  • AZiemak Amy Z. (@AZiemak) reported from Cleveland Heights, Ohio

    Skype won’t work, google calendar is dead, and my office WiFi is down. I think it’s time to leave. It’s basically a matter of national security at this point.

  • BowmanBHonest AnThony T. Bowman (@BowmanBHonest) reported from Salisbury, North Carolina

    @dndisturbulence Call her. Email her. Page her. Skype her. Write it down and take a picture of it. Send it to her.

  • bussewitzquarm Michael BuQu (@bussewitzquarm) reported from Sound Beach, New York

    @LisaNeher Get a recording of them performing the piece beforehand from the director. I often find that the equipment or the connection distorts the sound so much that I can’t hear the choir perform during the Skype session. I hope this becomes less of an issue as technology gets better

  • prexiousdiana Diana Prexious (@prexiousdiana) reported from Milano, Lombardia

    Hello @paysera i've been trying to contact customer service since yesterday, I was told you would call me via Skype and nothing. I really need to do this

  • EpicTillich Επίκτητος 🔥λόγος🔥 (@EpicTillich) reported from Edgerton, Michigan

    @flstorms Oh yes. I have had 3-5 on zoom before. I don’t know how to party line Skype but if you call me in I am down.

  • Phelim_Owusu Phelim_Owusu (@Phelim_Owusu) reported from Accra, Greater Accra Region

    @thenanaaba If they don't take care we would even relocate them to a smaller one and cut the numbers down... Those who don't get space can join via conference phones and Skype 🙄

  • xxxcharlieboyx1 Charlie RawDIXXX [4.5k] (@xxxcharlieboyx1) reported from Brooklyn, New York

    @francticallyden I don’t have skype, nor a laptop but I’m definitely down to meet up

  • syamean S Y A M I N (@syamean) reported from Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur

    Okey. Skype issue resolved. 3rd interview with CMO this Rabu. Moga I managed to fulfill the expectations.

  • monkchips Henry Counter-Manspread (@monkchips) reported from Hackney, England

    if i was the @Windows team i'd be telling the @Skype team to fix their app and stop hurting overall system performance, not making it harder to turn the app off. please don't @ me if your clever solution to my problem is for me to not use windows.

  • josephheenan Joseph H (@josephheenan) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @robdylan Agree that they’re late to the game, but I think the majority of apps I currently use only support first party login: Skype, Facebook, Reddit, slack, bbc. I guess it depends on the size of user base - the decision probably disproportionately affects smaller apps.

  • PatWestJr PatrickWestJr (@PatWestJr) reported from Crown Point, Indiana

    Your customer service is the issue. I have had the same issue since 11:45. It’s probably a 2 second fix with anyone over voice...Skype teamspeak whatever. Plus my last 2 messages you didn’t even answer.

  • briannebanksxo Brianne Banks (@briannebanksxo) reported from Austin, Texas

    I hate asking for help but I need as much as I can get. I'm live: briannelynnebanks on Skype where we can get shows together. I accept venmo, Google wallet, the cash app, and PayPal from TRUSTED regulars. I'm also on Skyprivate and CMD. and of course, Streamate!

  • Joana_MPereira Joana Pereira (@Joana_MPereira) reported from Le Mesnil-Amelot, Île-de-France

    @whartonshumthin I am in a long distance relationship for 7 years. Skype calls everynight for at least 1h, visits every two weeks where we just sit together working and discussing/brainstorming on our scientific problems.

  • stephent122 Stephen Townsley (@stephent122) reported from Walker Gate, England

    If #Apple brought #imessage to #Android it would close down any new #google #rcs play overnight. Might even kill #skype and others. @TechAltar

  • nfpa70e Hugh Hoagland (@nfpa70e) reported from Prospect, Kentucky

    Be careful switching to Teams from a normal phone system. @Microsoft BROKE our Skype for business call queues and we have to pay $80 per month for licenses for CALL QUEUES until they fix it in July. VERY poor implementation.

  • RaberRichard Richard Raber (@RaberRichard) reported from Songpa-gu, Seoul

    @SkypeSupport Yes, I receive an error message whenever I try to purchase more credit. Please connect me to support staff.

  • JohnBra42849174 John Bradford (@JohnBra42849174) reported from Worcester, Massachusetts

    @tomsendeavour @greg_ip @WSJ I cannot remember my Microsoft account login Maine they keep asking me my Skype name I don't have Skype from John Bradford
