  • DebraMeadow Debra Meadow (@DebraMeadow) reported

    @LisaEirene Same for my grandson. Will your kiddo be in K next year? If so basically same age and, yes, they need constant attention! Very little ability to entertain themselves at this point. I Skype in and read to him 2x a week for an hour or so. That's about all I can do to help!

  • AdamMaguire Adam Maguire (@AdamMaguire) reported

    @Mark_Coughlan @edmundheaphy Could be a couple of issues there - some guests come in via TieLine while others may be on FaceTime Audio, WhatsApp Audio, Skype etc. Some are more reliable than others. Their own connection could also play a part - and if they get a call while on air it can cause a wobble.

    @HPIndia Laptop is very unreliable, it crashes anytime with blue screen error Memory_Management. It crashes during my zoom calls, skype calls, Teams call. I lose my business with this impression on my clients. When I code applications, it crashes and I lose my code, files get corrupt.

    Major IT outage at Cardiff Uni today due to a failed UPS in one of the data centres. Fail over to another data centre failed. Main issue was Authentication. Services are coming back up. On prem skype for business is still having issues. What a morning.

  • Micky_Piet Micky Pietkiewicz (@Micky_Piet) reported

    My computer microphone isn’t working. Someone from tech support is helping to fix it and called me on Skype and said “I think you’re on mute.” Then he said “Oh. Never mind. It’s been a week.” LOL. I feel you, dude.

  • marythetrainer Ma Bailey's Telephone (@marythetrainer) reported

    @Skype is the devil. I have upcoming meetings and tried to create an account. I couldn't read the stupid challenge dominos quickly enough so clicked through HUNDREDS of them. No way to get help, no way to get a new challenge. What a piece of crap, Microsoft!

  • Kjonge Kasper de Jonge (@Kjonge) reported

    @sql_williamd @sqldbawithbeard @cl it is so confusing, you need to load Team no you need to load skype for business, error error ! If this doesn't work, I am going to look for some old contacts in Office and get mad.

  • EWonder28 EWonder28🥦💜🛡 (@EWonder28) reported

    @LostOpium I had problems with Skype before but it’s been awhile since I’ve used it. I’m sorry that it’s causing problems..hopefully it will work well soon!

  • trinigawd trinigod (@trinigawd) reported

    Skype, Viber & Wickr are terrible recommendations in this context actually. Allo still exists?

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

    Im a nonthreatening feminist boy, come talk to me on Skype! 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 ‘systematic’ means.

    Discord is shutting down in 2022???? Bruh.... what would be yall's options thats not Skype-- Im sad......

  • curexcomplex Dr 「サマンサ」Sammie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈 in 🇺🇸 (@curexcomplex) reported

    Sorted it out through my own logic of just calling them from Skype because of my PhD brain is clearly problem solving. RBS call center gave no shits about anything and were like, eh its fine, unblocked and unlocked. RBS, telling you a different story at every single turn.

  • BespinBulletin Bespin Bulletin (@BespinBulletin) reported

    @kidandy @zencastr We attempted Skype in our early days of podcasting, but it just didn’t sound good for us which why we turned to Zencastr which was great for the first couple of months, but for the past two months or so there’s been a problem every week with this being the worst.

  • saifrahmed Saif Ahmed (@saifrahmed) reported from Arlington, Virginia

    @jugurthahadjar @SlackHQ @stewart Because it is the most obvious non-competitor. One could potentially see a threat to Slack from several other messaging platforms, but never, ever Skype — which is a threat mostly to itself. BTW, did they ever fix the can’t-login problems that caused the Skype-exodus?

  • Danielw107 Daniel W (@Danielw107) reported

    @Skype having issues with video and voice messages not playing audio on my laptop or computer, I've reinstalled skype, it's been updated few times since it started and is still an issue, downloading it has audio, mobile app and online skype plays audio like normal

  • SJM1878 1878 Spzls (@SJM1878) reported

    Some progress to report. Off Skype meetings now to Teams via M365 🥴 Giving me a headache is all this yeno. On some training now over next few weeks for M365. Sounds like some secret service agent or summat 😎

    Anyone know if Skype is down? Been trying to get on and it just won't load up.

  • HCouple96 Horny&BiCouple (@HCouple96) reported

    Would absolutely love to video call with a hot milf on Snapchat or Skype and shoot my ******* for them. That would be so much fun if any hot women are down for it. Let me know x

  • scampbeast Elaine Kidd (@scampbeast) reported

    @Typhoo_Tea I would love to have a proper sit down cup of tea with my friend Crystal in Canada, a Skype call isn't the same as being able to hug someone who needs it.

  • leanoru pink baby (@leanoru) reported

    trying to log into skype on my computer changed my laptop login password i hate it here

  • KDN1692 Kyle Nuss (@KDN1692) reported

    physically draining over a period of time. I also like that the show is jumping thru the timeline and touching on events that have happened thruout the pandemic. Even the skype calls themselves arent terrible and work for the format. It doesnt ruin the feel of the show.

  • AgAmyInAmes Amy Mayer (@AgAmyInAmes) reported

    I've never been a fan of Skype. But omg why did no one tell me you can not only record but if you're typing during a call Skype pops up a mini window of the person you're talking to! This is so superior to that other wildly popular video service.

  • JohnWes87508871 JW (@JohnWes87508871) reported

    @TabbyWesa @CBlackeagle10 do you have discord or skype to we chat or Exchange some ideas,Of course if you don't have no problems with this

  • roronoanochu Ariana⁷ 아리아나 (@roronoanochu) reported

    @kinoui_ I actually wanted the new iPad Air but it is sold out atm where I live😣And that’s the issue, I do have a laptop BUT it is really old and whenever I’m in online classes sometimes it disconnects me from Skype/Zoom so I miss the explanation. My iPad would be my backup for my laptop

  • geekingthething Els (@geekingthething) reported

    I'm having issues with report builder: it keeps crashing on me and giving the most useless error messages, so I screenshotted the last one and send it to my manager over Skype-chat. And then he emailed me: the screenshot of the error made his skype freeze... 🥲

  • RachelSRich Rachel Rich (@RachelSRich) reported

    @BryanBanksPhD At my work we have Skype for Business. It is terrible.
