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

@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

@peterskillman Precisely. People learn the Skype user experience. My Snapchat on Android feels similar to iOS. Fix only those parts that would confuse platform users. Back iOS apps on a Mac, I don't see the reason why it couldn't be made to work given proper thought and consideration.

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.

@spamless @TMobile This might help you as I’m in Ireland and need to check my voicemail; if you download Skype or Hangouts, and call +1 (805) 637-7243 through WiFi, you’ll be able to access your voicemail for free. Just need to press * to enter your number and PIN and you’ll be connected through.

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.

@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.

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.

@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

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.

@TheBladeJobShow @Declan_Kenny82 @5Nerdsgo You spelled honour wrong. Also, @BladeJobJOlen, the 2nd TBJ member to be on WWW, his episode drops next week. And his @BadlandsPod episode drops this week. Skype issues, recording issues, mic issues and Jon locking himself out of his house issues tried to stop these episodes!

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.

Today, EU courts should decide whether SkypeOut is to be considered an electronic comms service or not. Might force Skype under Telecom law(s). I wonder what the impact could be on other services like #MicrosoftTeams etc., if they do... #thoughtoftheday
