@cherriebIossoms @jediqueenie @snapchatsupport It‘s ridiculous. Having that problem with Skype. It’s so bad cause it comes back to us and users think it’s really me who betrays them. :/

@SkypeSupport The latest update on Mac has completely broken Skype on my computer, I can't even get logged in. I've already uninstalled/reinstalled several times. Can you please help? I use Skype for work. Thanks.

@thepagey @bermicourt @SO2portaloos DE&S have been good here. You can sign for IT equipment to take home - keyboards, mice, monitors etc to make home working easier. But I agree, a contribution to connectivity would be good. I’ve had to upgrade my router to help minimise dropouts on Skype calls.

@WhatsappPrivacy I was thinking if WhatsApp has paid service and it has able to call directly mobile number or landline number through WhatsApp as like Skype has different plan based on location and requirements. Now days people are frustrated installing many app for each service one app.

@Skype After responding to an update request I can no longer log into Skype on my laptop. It says there is problem (startup load error) logging in/out there is no joy. Reloaded no effect. The same update is waiting on my desktop but I’m reluctant to execute it. Any ideas please.

@feckitdotcom @galahadlake I know, it's important- trouble is both my husband and I are quiet, not big socialisers so we have to make an effort or they lose out. They do Skype etc but son's friends don't seem to be around.

If you’re in the business of giving free help to unknown researchers that are giving you 0day because “they trust you”, consider not relying on encrypted zip files. Validate your other party. Phone, video, Skype, authenticated encrypted communication. Not a ZIP file by email.

@YankowskyD @PUNISHEDASH Sadly the pandemic killed it because we were playing it IRL. That said, I'd 100% be down with repurposing it for an online game with a bunch of comrades over skype or google hangouts or something.

Just found out my years of using Skype is no more. It's gone totally dead. Thanks, Microsoft, for killing a very low cost service that was great for what I needed it for, and have no easy way to replace. I needed basic, not 'high energy eating' bells and whistles. :-(

@Skype @MicrosoftAyuda @Skype until when do they keep stealing from me? I stopped using it more than a year agomy TC is expired and the new one is not activated, but Skype keeps charging me monthly.All attempts to fix this have been in vain.The last thing they told me was that my card has been cloned.

@British_Airways i need to change my flight next week, but as its cheaper it says I have to call the service centre to do so. I don't have access to a phone to call a UK number - is there an alternative way to do this via skype/mail/DM

@Ryan_Browne_ @jimmy_wales I was just thinking: There were plenty of decentralized software apps long before the blockchain was conceived - Skype, Napster, the original ICQ (I think?). Using the b-word might help with fundraising though.

What confounds me is that all 3 cameras can be selected in other applications (Skype, Discord, etc.) so I can confirm each camera is properly connected and capable of being utilized in an application. So why is it that OBS is having trouble getting them to display?

@hikosaemon I remember after the 3/11 quake nobody could make phone calls via their mobile phone so these pay phones saved the day for many. My wife and I had Skype on our phones so we could call, but everyone trying to do that will send mobile internet to a crawl for sure thus not working.
