@scalarism Yes, they did. Terrible idea. Now Skype in idle takes up ~235 MB of memory and video calls chew up most of the CPU resources. Either way, that still doesn't give them the excuse for terrible window management. Just lazy programming.

@ccdreamsofkemet @Biancadonk91 @Readygov It would be like the government came in and shut down Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, SMS, Telegram, Signal, Parler, Zoom, Skype, and more all at the same time so no one in the country could use their phone to communicate with anyone.

@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?

@andybudd It’s a Skype replacement for online gamers. I use it with friends for multiplayer Starcraft 2 games. It’s lower latency and bandwidth requirements mean games like that don’t get slowed down by all the babble.

@OspreyPacks awful service! I am a nurse working in London and my parents bought me an Osprey bag for Christmas, I have just opened my presents over Skype and the bag is too small so I’d like to exchange it. But you’re saying no. What kind of thank you is this to the @NHSuk!

@UnluckyForSome9 NB! Skrill will never ask you for your account credentials via Skype or Social networks. Only enter your login details on the genuine Skrill site and mobile apps.

@acryptolion Yep, that's the 1 thing in common among a lot of guys I know doing bigger volumes, no social media - and never even had one. Mostly just DMs in Telegram/Skype but then not super active. After a certain level everyone who can help you is a competitor who never will.

@StateStSports We did some Skype calls at work just before the pandemic and the quality and connection were awful. If more than a couple people were on, video and sound would keep breaking up. By contrast, we've had 200 people on Zoom calls with no problems.

@Keizaron I have this same problem with Skype. I just learned to remove it because I refuse to let the negativity move forward with me.

@StefanWaterland @FinanceDirCFO That's Microsoft's problem of work life vs private life perception. A lot of people want to share photos with their family. They don't send them one by one, they share the screen and click through entire folders. No one drops photos one by one in the convo window. Sorry Skype!

@katrinnahendrix Kafkian nightmare. (Sometimes Canada Post outlets in pharmacies have fax service... that or maybe finding an app with a free trial? Skype used to be able to fax... for scanning I like the Office Lens app)

You know how sometimes you have a login for different websites, but they’re part of the same company? Say, for example, Skype, Outlook, and Xbox for Microsoft. Previously, Dashlane would save all these accounts individually, which could be frustrating for our users.

Why does Skype have such terrible window management? How difficult is it to remember the last window size and position?

@ChristinaPykles @TheNamesQ Are you going to do a podcast about the case? That would be awesome. Just like Serial.. Quality audio is my biggest gripe. I once listened to a podcast where he spoke to people over Skype. I felt like he was reporting from inside my wardrobe the sound was terrible. Good luck
