@rosefox I started a new job in October and not being able to causally chat to people has massively slowed down me getting to a useful place because they just don't use IM?! We have Skype and teams but...nada

**** Microsoft and the pile of **** shaped like a horse they rolled in on. Their piece of **** service has meant my therapy appointment is delayed or cancelled because my Skype number has been "claimed" by someone else, despite it being MY phone number and me not having had any

@SkypeSupport please can you send instructions on how to get a log of Skype video calls made to just 1 of my contacts. We need it for visa application and I can't find help on line for just one contact and can't find an email address to write to. thanks!

@CMendozaEsq @AlysonDecker10 It'll be interesting to see what happens to Lync/Skype or Business Skype. Teams can certainly replace that with no problem.

@MReturneth @C4CEO Meetings are TERRIBLE. More spent verbalizing, yet no one writes things down to memorialize, so people have to jump on Skype/chat to ask the same thing all over again.

Is it just me or has video chat quality gone down over the years? FaceTime lags more now than Skype did 10 years ago

@HMRCcustomers Thanks Rob. I think the problem is I used Skype to call from outside the UK, so the phone line thinks I am calling the HMRC international number from a UK line, hence the message to try again on the UK number. Will try again. Sorry for the frustration

@ptz0n @danyork Teams and Skype do not allow virtual cameras (though as you mention some have found success hacking around their code signatures). Search the issues on my old repo I think some folks had Teams working reliably. Usually involves resigning the main app, and sometimes a helper app

@Microsoft @Skype Because they refuse to provide either email or postal support, I'm forced to sit online with them continually while their staff fail to fix this problem. If you ever run a customer service channel, please do not force me to use your awful and slow "online chat" service.

Now into my fifth hour, and eighth (!) staff member of @microsoft and @skype to fix their billing system problem. Just been told "We need to further troubleshoot this first before we can escalate this case" to a manger. You mean the last five hours of this crap wasn't enough?

@meddiss Fantastic advice I got from my advisor: just start writing, you can always chase down a citation if you need it later or edit if something changes. I am also a huge proponent of writing groups. I meet with 3 friends on Monday morning via skype, tell them what I am going to do 1/

@_shengche Well, beats me. Perhaps google docs app/account is switched to Dutch for some reason? And Skype gets its language info from it? Other than that, Skype also causes all kinds of issues on my pc all the time (though not this one ... yet). Anyway, no clue really.

This old guy is dead, no pulse. He had a phone in his pocket, and I’ve managed to log in to Twitter. He already had that app, but he’s never tweeted. Thing is, I have wifi down here, but no phone signal. And I don’t have his app store password to download Skype or something.

So I'm going to interview this old lady for my thesis, but she chose to do so by whatsapp. I must record it though and suggested doing so on skype, but she knows nothing how to use it, so she's waiting her daughter coming home to help her. I wonder if I did right by asking her?

@rorymcevoy Yeah, skype call with my brother. My nephew always trying to get in on the screen to ask about the dog and cat, and what we'll do when he comes down. My little niece (only 3) stares at me like a stranger. Haven't seen her since March, no bond formed. Really choked me up
