    Skype really is a trash application. Oh you don't have audio I know the fix, mute everything. If everything is muted no audio is a expected :)

  • GwadiLad Gwadi (@GwadiLad) reported

    @harkdanlive Should’ve died once people realized how easy it was to yoink IPs from anybody with Skype, what a shitty service

  • Dynamite7A ᴮᴱDynamite⁷ (@Dynamite7A) reported

    @AkashaThorne @MicrosoftTeams Yes since my company uses it . It has pretty much all the same problems Skype had for calls .

  • linsinoz Lindsay Scott 💙 mostly at home (@linsinoz) reported

    Was there a reason to fly Emily Maitlis to Washington to sit outside and do Skype interviews? Not a funding issue but a pandemic issue.#NewsNight

    Can the Skype call to your service team be made on wifi from South Africa at no cost ?

  • philchamp_ phil (@philchamp_) reported

    @fmarksimon I actually did get a support chat going who solved the Skype issue but has now given me MS log in issues instead!🤬

  • DShepperton Dave Shepperton (@DShepperton) reported

    Discord is, by a wide margin, the most confusing chat app I've ever used. And that's saying something, since there are quite a lot of them out there that have all kinds of weird quirks and issues, including Hangouts, Apple Messages, Skype, etc.

  • DaveJonesVoice Dave Jones (@DaveJonesVoice) reported

    Face it, you’re not working from home, you’re moving the mouse every five minutes to stop Skype turning yellow.

  • JBitature Jojo (@JBitature) reported

    In almost all skype/zoom interviews on news or podcasts there's always books in shelves in the background, this psychological hack to prime me into thinking the person whos speaking is smart is not working. with me you start from 0

  • beatlesonbankin G Stockus (@beatlesonbankin) reported

    @hmeisler because the economy is shutting down again, reopening, or it just doesn't really matter...it's today's Skype, er, Facetime, er...nvm

  • peterrowlett Peter Rowlett (@peterrowlett) reported

    @christianp @k_houston_math ...how or having the equipment, which has improved immeasurably. (Like how I used to hate when someone said 'let's meet over Skype' because it always meant 30 mins of tech problems, but not now everyone is good at it.)

  • young_kahlil MeChelle. (@young_kahlil) reported

    Literally once my Skype turns green my boss bombards me with IM’s and emails. And I..........just respond ok or ignore it. Send me one email or schedule one 30 minute meeting. Please don’t talk to yourself in my inbox working through problems Mandark get a chalk board.

  • theory David E. Wheeler (@theory) reported

    Sometime in the last six months or so, the controls for Skype/Zoom/Team meetings disappeared from the iPhone Home Screen. I have to unlock to unmute and talk now. Super annoying on my walks. Where can I fix this?

    @JustinTrudeau @netanyahu WHY!! 1. I hope you decided to help the Palestinians. we aren’t interested in the Israeli government. 2. Leave your house and see how others are living while you make Skype calls. 3.Did you eat today because many of your good people did not.. where is this vaccine u speak of

  • RainofTerra Terra Field 🏳️‍⚧️ (@RainofTerra) reported

    @mmarkini yeah its pretty gross, I just kill the skype service and disable it. Pretty bad experience, though.

    @sarahsee_c all the ******* time. yesterday i sent a message (via my work computer on skype) to my coworker about skincare stuff (specifically was talking to her about barrier repair for an issue she’s having) then somehow got into botox. checked my phone a minute later and had ads for both

  • DKief11 Dan Kiefer (@DKief11) reported

    @JackPosobiec Good luck! We tried to warn everyone what was happening in #Pennsylvania, no one wanted to listen as we’ve been locked down by our dictator @TomWolfPA, watching our loved ones die via Skype, not allowed to attend their funerals, and watching businesses crumble while state....

  • cole_eliot Eliot Cole (@cole_eliot) reported

    if any mates wanna get their objectifying off their chests I'm available for thoroughly shallow skype calls! here to help. yes. they *are* ******* fit!

  • BlueBell_hoyle Bluebell Hoyle (@BlueBell_hoyle) reported

    @Manalyzer131 You lot here and in the corner also help make it more bearable :) I haven't been able to hug n kiss any of my kids since March 2020 - that's the worst part. SKYPE calls just don't cut it. Thank gawd for the internet and Netflix though, it's all keeping me sane 🥰

  • Jlewis99_13 Jared (@Jlewis99_13) reported

    @turtlecoal @geogrification @NuitGod Oh **** my bad it was zoom not teams. Or is that Skype? Nah remember they closed them down years ago. Look I’m really anxious right now with all these convos I have goin on I knew I should’ve just shut my *** up because I can’t even put together thoughts I’m so anxious man.

  • keawijkstra Klaske Wijkstra (@keawijkstra) reported

    @olabini @xotoxot I followed the history of Wire. Originally it was meant as a replacemnet for Skype. Later it became a chat service, encrypted with only a few logs. Snowden favored Signal and the majority of the privacy scene followed this, Wire did not get a chance. Therefore they sold it.

  • astoldbydevan Dev (@astoldbydevan) reported

    Random thought: I’d be a terrible actress. Thank god I sit at a desk 12 hours a day where my emotions are only expressed, not by my face, but by my Skype chat emoticons.

  • Imoteda Chef Imoteda (@Imoteda) reported

    When she was about 3/4 yrs old he promised to video call her every wednesday. He did good for like three weeks and then started ghosting and making excuses. For months my kid would sit on the stairs near the study waiting to hear that skype call that never came. Broke me down.

  • DaleNorth Dale North (@DaleNorth) reported

    What I've learned taking a million Zoom/Skype/Google conference calls this past year: If I pull my COVID hair up I always get a lot of "oh wow" type comments. But if I leave it down they either say nothing or even say that I'm looking well! I figured it would be the opposite!
