@HelenFenton15 @LizDurrant19 @irisbenson100 As well as being a service user, I've also been a volunteer for 3 years. But in this difficult time stuck at home, I asked if any work I can get on with while at home, but nothing. Although I'm participating in a meeting next week (via Skype), so that's good, I need more of that.

@BreitbartNews As far as I’m concerned, none of them need to return. They can Skype, Zoom like the rest of us. Think of all the money we could save. Plus K street wouldn’t be right down the street. Stay Home

I’ve spent the last 45 minutes trying to help set up a Skype call between Nola and her friend from South Korea with limited English. I’m not sure Skype could be any harder to use.

@SkypeSupport hey, guys. I'm trying to restore my Skype acc (login same as here), but there is no result. Acc was broken. And I'm totally exhausted with filling automatically restoration form. 18 tries - no result. Need help or miracle!

@KyEdWorkforce @KyEdWorkforce @GovAndyBeshear I have noticed that the largest problem trying to get help with UI claims is that people who are trying to help us don't know how to help us. How about using Skype or a different conferencing solution that way people can be face to face...

@HongPong @amandamull @mcmansionhell I’ve wondered if a video/audio conference service that offered higher audio quality for a modest fee would get traction. I would pay something for hangouts/zoom/Skype to sound good reliably.

@JonathanLegge2 @queersicle Odd. I've never had that issue. Skype is still around. They just missed out honeslty. They have now launched group calls though.

@Estochen Fair enough. If someone were inviting you to Skype watching porn together I'm sure you'd have no problem telling them that's not your thing. Just tell them that's something you wouldn't enjoy, but thanks anyway.

@marklevy2gb Here here. Anyone with concerns about privacy or tracking should also jump off Twitter, Facebook, Zoom, Skype, or any Google service, and stay home.

@Juzoer Yeah back in like the early 2010s when gaming youtube was really hitting it off everyone was using skype and youtubers were having crashes and connection errors all over the place with skype. Now everyone uses Discord. The clearer audio in voice chats was a huge improvement.

@joesimonssays @corbinasmith No. Skype for work purposes is terrible. One of my clients use Skype, and every week someone on the call had issues with it.

@bradgilmore @rodemics Gotcha. Im assuming you’re recording into the device itself on an SD card...so my recommendation would be to Bluetooth the MacBook to your rodecaster and do the skype call that way. Or use an iPhone or IPad Skype and Bluetooth it as well. There’s a few YouTube vids that may help

Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype. They can all **** off. As soon as NZ opens up again, @cmcql and I are off for the weekend. Don't care where, so long as it is not anywhere that anyone who has ****** me off in the last 7 weeks lives, because I will probably burn their house down.

@MichelleKHarper Ironically, consumer Skype is pretty good as a (albeit basic) chat service - but Skype for Business is simply unusable and grounded in legacy Exchange architecture.

@DarkoneOfDamned @WynonnaEarp The problem with zoom is that it is very hackable and has been hit numerous times over the past few months that's the main reason I suggest Skype, just a little more secure.

@GayRobot_ @macolon2 @SkypeBusiness Yes, I know. They’re contract with my work is for Skype (when moved away from Teams). Regardless, they have a product that they’re still in charge of but not doing anything about it. This is one of my many issues w/ Microsoft.

@E7Drew @DrSarahJarvis @KOLRock17 Yes he has a care package in place & I had another best interest meeting last week via skype to try & get more help. A care home isn't viable (for obvious reasons). Its a nightmare scenario & desperately difficult to keep him & the people he's coming into contact with safe.

@elizqueenmama @kaplajk @PirateQueenKate Feel free to overgeneralize. On a Skype HH with 3 of them as we speak, and I love them but they are the worst. And your way of solving my "problem" made me feel heard. That's the difference. 😆

So the optics are terrible and the opsec of using a personal cell phone or FT Zoom account unforgivable (this is what Skype numbers are literally for), but this isn’t a scandal and the reporter was definitely given the invite by employees who wanted accountability

@ClareWheatGoo @carbischoral @DeliaTurnbull I had concerns about that initially but I believe those issues have been swiftly resolved... I’m not using it for piano teaching, am firmly sticking to familiar platforms such as Skype/FaceTime for that purpose.
