  • HalfSh3ll3dH3r0 Ferda Katy-Kat (@HalfSh3ll3dH3r0) reported

    Next time I take a vacation day I’m putting my foot down and insisting no one call me. Four phone calls, two different Skype conversations, and texts all on my day off.

  • ladyteruki ladyteruki (@ladyteruki) reported

    @SamSiestas : thanks kitten. I haven't forgotten you, I still intend to have a call with you when the dust settles (I even fixed my Skype issue during an insomnia), it's just that as you can see, there's a lot going on.

    Im a nonthreatening feminist loli! talk to me on skype about your problems as a woman i sympathize i’m taking womens studies. I took women’s studies I know what ‘Shintaro's ***********’ means. Man I’m so horny today. Sorry.I’m sorry. I just came out and said it.

    Microsoft Lync / Skype for business as an external user was pretty shite too. At least it opened a little faster, didn't make you login, but it would also love to bring your computer to a crawl after like five minutes. How do you royally **** up teleconferencing so hard?

  • goddessmilla1 Goddess Milla 💕 bday 3/1 (@goddessmilla1) reported

    Skype sessions for the late night subs. I don’t ever do Skype but I can’t sleep and I am feeling kinda bored. Who is down, send me a DM 💸💸

  • brianmcgovern8 brian mc govern (@brianmcgovern8) reported

    @tomdoorley @rte @VirginMediaIE Only problem is Skype dosent always work but it's a fair point.

  • knrd_z Evil (Political) Scientist (@knrd_z) reported

    @realMaxCastle I bombed a Skype interview two years ago because I said, "you _created_ a new PhD program?" Turns out it's nice to vote yourself RAs who will have terrible job prospects. Little sign of slowing, except for a few departments that took covid breaks.

  • JOHNNYBALACLAVA Johnny Balaclava AKA Johnny Bucka (@JOHNNYBALACLAVA) reported

    @ucas_online Are the international numbers for help working? I've tried undergraduate and postgraduate phone numbers from Skype and it isn't working right now

  • muqingtwt catboy matt :3c #1 junshua supporter (@muqingtwt) reported

  • boDDaciousS 🥶🐉 (@boDDaciousS) reported

    this whole shimeji thing calls me back to when a friend hurriedly called me over skype in a panic because she had like 200 different shimejis running up and down her screen and her computer Could Not Handle It

  • michael66880048 michael bell (@michael66880048) reported

    @debramason8652 If the rioters had heeded the restrictions and maybe stayed at home no riot and no Covid spread. Are you prevented from praying at home couldnt you Skype your religious service?

  • john_w_cleaver John W Cleaver 🇬🇧 (@john_w_cleaver) reported

    @ghost_wales My mum is 95 lives on her own Skype her every day. She seems down but understandable. She is okay but feels depressed when she watches the news. I told her they are feeding bullshit don't watch. **** the @BBCNews @itvnews NWO puppets

  • unitedilove NotNFLLoverAnymore (@unitedilove) reported

    Those agencies conduct fake interviews with imposters on Skype phone calls speaking broken English with a strong accent They charge their victims-ask them to transfer funds to an account in Kotak Bank in stages. The fake interviews are straight questions for managerial roles

  • lmcdo_ Luke (@lmcdo_) reported

    @matvelloso Teams is 1/10th the ease of use of a simple SMS-but-encrypted service. Imagine if MS hadn't butchered Skype over the last decade! Maybe this is a segment it could compete in :)

  • orlandofootguy Footsub not finsub (@orlandofootguy) reported

    Hey guys! My feet followers: do any of you want to help me c*m today to your feet? Message me if you want to help. I'm looking for a c2c session on skype, cb, or whatever.

  • KenMarsigliaVo Ken Marsiglia (@KenMarsigliaVo) reported

    @SantoyVo I'm using it on a Windows 10 PC equipped with an old i7 4790k, 16gb RAM, and have it plugged into a powered USB hub. Zero compatibility issues with everything from ProTools, Audition, to Skype, Discord, Source Connect. I've heard of the PC issue with UA Apollo interfaces though

  • UlsterUniISD Ulster Uni ISD (@UlsterUniISD) reported

    STAFF: Please note there are some issues with Skype for Business calls today, this has been reported to our service providers, and they are working on resolving this issue for us.

  • ParadoxGambit Paradox (@ParadoxGambit) reported

    @JudyGraff @HamDried @chetchitwood Maybe an addition to the office suite? Some sort of Skype service?

  • JerryCorneliusx Jerry Cornelius VII (@JerryCorneliusx) reported

    @drskyskull I've noticed the quality of Discord is getting slowly worse over the past few months. There's constantly some problem happening. We started online roleplaying with Skype, then Teamspeak, now Discord. Maybe its time for something else. Is there anything better?

  • VIHealthyLife1 Harbor Made Designs (@VIHealthyLife1) reported

    @Randy_Gage The only reason I keep Skype is to video call with my grandmother because it's the only thing she knows how to use. It has constant connection issues around 95% of the time for me. I much rather WhatsApp and Zoom. Neither give me the grief that Skype does.

  • MManton Michael Manton (@MManton) reported

    @BBCBreaking Shut the boarders for 3 months. We don't need to travel Skype ext can do all online close it down get us inoculated

  • GodxAlexandra 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕲𝖔𝖉 - BLM 🖤 (@GodxAlexandra) reported

  • aspirationalbob Kylo Ben (@aspirationalbob) reported

    We have upgraded from Skype to Teams, much excitement abounds. Though it was the source of yesterday's outage

  • m_ashcroft Michael Ashcroft (21/100 YouTube videos) (@m_ashcroft) reported

    @anomiseditrix This is a super common issue in bigger corporate environments on either Teams or Skype. Hate it.

  • SumitaS6 SomethingtoSay (@SumitaS6) reported

    I am in a terrible mood. I am sick of covid, sick of Zoom/Teams/Skype, sick of being asked to turn on my camera, sick of living in a houseshare, sick of Boris and his clan, and I want to see my family and have a month off work.

  • drvolts David Roberts (@drvolts) reported

    I finally had solved my career-long "reliably record phone calls" problem. I had Skype, with credit I could use to call outside numbers, and Ecamm call recorder. But now call recorder doesn't work with M1 Macs. Aaaargh. So I'm back to my career-long problem.

  • myfrtomie Nuage ☁️ (@myfrtomie) reported

    😐 Signal is down Toto isn't logged in on Skype. Damnit.

  • YarrowMFC **** Yeah Yarrow! 7 years in February ✨🤘🏻 (@YarrowMFC) reported

  • leen_go jaychaeya brainrot (@leen_go) reported
