    @therecount So... all we have to do is ask my taxi driver Robert D. the material girl, and ‘D List’ celeb Kathy G. to tell their maga supporters to ‘stand down’, and we can all sleep better? Got it, ill give em all a call... I might even be able to do all three, via Zoom or Skype!

    i think i would actually pay someone like 40 dollars if they could fix up this discord skype theme for modern bandagedbd

  • aexm Ana Milicevic (@aexm) reported

    @dabitch @acfou Microsoft has the most painful login/auth process of any company out there. It's as if it's purposefully designed to inflict pain. B/w that & Skype's insistence on adding someone to contacts to be able to speak with them, it was enough to get me to look elsewhere.

  • MageRage MageRage (@MageRage) reported

    @SkypeSupport Having connection issues on both Phone and Laptop. Are you aware of any issues?

  • Rukh_Whitefang Rukh Whitefang (@Rukh_Whitefang) reported

    @TheresaBrandab1 So take down any messaging app? What about Discord Skype, Zoom? Those too?

  • kamzababy Kamo💕 (@kamzababy) reported

    If I can't record I have to actually pay attention in this meeting cause Skype is down 😭😫

  • DanJ30617869 Dan J (@DanJ30617869) reported

    @MBalsich skype has a tendency to censor so that might get shut down if it draws too much attention. there are decentralized solutions out there, not sure on specifics

  • alexis_mae_ lex ! (@alexis_mae_) reported

    @Skype I need a refund and I need to cancel my phone number and there is no one to call to help me and the chat keeps telling me “error there has been a bug” how can I do this

  • Okarine_ Okarine (@Okarine_) reported

    @knosvoxel Do you have f.lux on your pc or Skype? I found out today they were causing a weird flicker issue so I uninstalled

  • shuvamdutta The2ndGuy (@shuvamdutta) reported

  • PINK_smooches third ward trill. (@PINK_smooches) reported

    So my skype is down and had to call someone for a meeting via cellphone. Afterwards he asked if he could keep my number to call me sometime 😩😭

  • DiggyDraws Lil Diggy: COMMISSIONS IN PROGRESS (@DiggyDraws) reported

    Also people out here saying they wanna leave twitter and got thousands of followers. Twitter is pretty business integral, without a service exodus on a Skype to Discord level you aint going anywhere.

  • schestowitz Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) (@schestowitz) reported

    HOLY FRIGGIN' SHITE, BATMAN! #microsoft propagandist #BogdanPopa found a way to make it sound like Microsoft going TITS-UP is somehow the fault of "Linux" and Apple!! "Microsoft’s Skype Went Down Today on All Platforms, Including Linux and iPhone"

  • asmac asmac (@asmac) reported

    @chase_roper Bullshit. My dsl connection is 11.1 mbps down and 2.7 up. We have voip, various streaming services, three computers, zoom and skype. All are well used and there's never a problem. 25 mbps is a lot.

  • MrWilson Brent C. Wilson (@MrWilson) reported

    I am amazed that @Microsoft continues to find new and innovative ways to break @Skype. This morning it's in a loop of login, chug chug chug, finally open (with the incorrect window size and location on my screen), work for about 3 seconds, then return to the login screen.

  • deer540 mir (@deer540) reported

    found a skype theme for discord but it is 4 years old and not working you have no idea how badly i need this

  • nhfilz Nathan Filz (@nhfilz) reported

    @chase_roper I don’t know. I’ve seen entire branch offices with 10 people run Skype for business/Lync environments (with video) off of bonded T1 lines and never so much as lag. Zoom was a company that, only 1 year ago, served 100k users. They are the issue

  • pinkertondiary weezer winter (@pinkertondiary) reported

    help i did something and now my old laptop is busy tryinfg to decipher what i meant by "open rivers cuomo pinkerton years demos via skype" im so afraif

  • hendrikinvestor Hendrik Reimann (@hendrikinvestor) reported

    The harder the lock down, the slower my internet. Thnks @vodafone_de for connecting all apartments of a house to a single cable. I'm watching investor videos on youtube in 360p if lucky, sometimes going to 240p or 120p. Skype down. Seekingalpha doesn't load properly. Can you fix?

  • BigDavidMullins Servant of the Dark LORDT Bobby Lowder (@BigDavidMullins) reported

    Skype down at work so i'm getting emails from our phone system, that i'm getting text messages, that i can't see, from the rest of the team, asking if skype is down.

  • katologic Katya Kotlyar (@katologic) reported

    @dabitch skype UX has been absolutely horrible since day one, it became obvious once better-designed competitors popped up microsoft acquisition wrecked it even further with microsoft login and zero vision for redesign

  • Wander_Ponder Sue! (@Wander_Ponder) reported

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported
