@momo7reza @Babak_BKHT @SoOpranOoS @mahdi @Skype @commerzbank Yes you can. They had some issues with postident for couple of months and now it is fixed. People from several other countries had same issue. I already have an account in n26 for couple of years without any issues and I know people who opened one recently. Try again...

@BodenLab @AcademicChatter @Skype I mean I have no problem with it but since everything is updating and adopting to the trends, skype is still where it was years ago. Just doesn’t seem right to be using it in era of now.

Highlight of my day was when IT had to remote in and view my desktop and I forgot he was watching and sent my manager a skype message saying “he has no clue” My issue did not get resolved and I’m not at all surprised why 🙂

@4ndyman Well, taking a picture is a good start! That counts for something. And I’m happy to help at any point. Heck, we could even chat over Skype video and we could walk through the major features and such—or whatever might work for you. (Or if that’s not your thing, that’s okay too.)

@SkypeSupport Let‘s hope for it. As I said it is a very important form of communication for her. She was lost when it happened. And she cannot fix it herself. We will not update because she cannot cope with changes. It is important that all the buttons are at their place.

A friend who’s an innovation person at pharma says it’s worse for them because everyone thinks they are a tech expert because they use Facebook sometimes. They are also confused with IT and are asked to fix Skype or email problems

Hey Adobe audition nerds! Im trying to record by Skype and gchat and I’m using the Scarlett mini studio. I can only record into adobe using soundflower but can’t hear anything. All I want is to go on gchat, hot record and get sound from both us to to record a podcast. Help!

@joshtweeterson Not sure if it’s the stream or your remote connection, but there is definitely a sound issue. Distorted, cutting in & out. Kind of sounds similar to when Skype acts up.

@AGlasgowGirl @CCriadoPerez Sorry to learn - unsure as to the reason why your visa was refused, but thankfully,you can provide a live video feed overseas using free resources such as FaceTime,Skype,Periscope,Twitter, Facebook etc . My Gaelic surname also presents problems to the AI Visa Processing System.

@AlexHolmeset @cchiffers For Skype or any import module I write a connect function and then in my loops catch the session timeout error and re call the connect function. Another tip is if your script takes a while then write in disconnects and new connects to release shell session limits

@garicgymro @DingemanseMark @ProfSimonFisher I do this too. I don't always use the most accurate words in a Skype interview. But everything that isn't "Brown said 'XYZ'" is the journalist's problem. Most writers accept this condition, but some don't, sometimes due to their outlet's policy, which seems anti-fact checking.
