    Not me forgetting my Skype login and having to remake one. I’m tired. 😭

  • _Kindynos Kindynos (@_Kindynos) reported

    Many of the proofs I had are from long deleted Messenger, Facebook and Skype accounts, and many are things that were never written down, just happened. I cut contact with everyone that did not unfriend that bastard too, so I do not have support from these "old friends"

  • mechadyne Mechadyne (@mechadyne) reported

    Ok...sending out the Bat Signal here. Does anyone know OBS well enough to help me with low/mid-tier bullshit? Every tutorial I come across is either too specific, or stuff I already know. I got/can get Skype, and I have Discord. I ask because my Metroid Zero Mission stream...

    @RealHintKeeper Admittedly I don't know how many people are around but you could do it on line (skype discord, etc. , but maybe a wake with friends and found family might help. Tell favorite stories share favorite pieces of art or pictures. I don't know. I'm so sorry for all that's happened.

    @SkyPrivate Hi just sent you a DM as I'm having trouble getting the plug-in to connect to my Skype, just constatnly says connecting. Please help, cheers Johnny

  • ConnerDJ Shaun (@ConnerDJ) reported

    @stevewraith @shaunattwood @AshMeikle Hoping this was recorded prior to the lockdown, can't help but think it's a bit of a piss take to travel all the way to Attwood when this could have been done over skype in the current circumstances.

  • HockleyBear HockleyBear (@HockleyBear) reported

    @wazzaster @GiddeeAunt @WestminsterWAG So should wildlife documentaries be filmed by Skype or Zoom? How do you expect to show what the issues are if you don’t go there? Idiot 🙄

  • aixiae Trindade 🀄 Comissions OPEN (@aixiae) reported

    @tuIugaaraq I know this might be a stupid question, but have you tried seeking professional help? Not sure how affordable /available it would be for you (and obviously not everyone is up for it) but it does help for some people. Even if you have to do the appointments via Zoom/Skype call idk

  • KaylaBloooooom Ski mask.Kaylaaaa (@KaylaBloooooom) reported

  • SarahDemoness Sarah, Your Living Nightmare🩸 (@SarahDemoness) reported

    Yesterday, on a Skype call, my father had the audacity to tell me that I should go to chef school. I had to smile down an explosion of anger and betrayal. I was and still am furious. I hate how they squashed my dreams and ambitions.

  • Kirin_Princess Blue Kirin Princess 🏳️‍🌈 (@Kirin_Princess) reported

    @KeepFriendMagic @AndreaLibman @SunniWestbrook We’re moving to Teams and it’s terrible. Worse than Skype, which managed to be worse than Lync. I’ve spent hours turning off notifies so it stops popping things up over the stuff I’m actually trying to do.

    More American expat questions: how do you deal with the US phone number situation? I have a Skype number, but some services won’t accept it. Do you have a “real” number service?

  • CentralReserva9 The President-Elect Mrs Ronald Raccoon (@CentralReserva9) reported

    @Femi_Sorry @BillHanage What an irony. After endlessly chuntering on that Britain's Covid is all down to one man.. Boris.. Overlooking or just deliberately refusing to consider the fact that Boris & gvt would have acted on advice of experts. Here he is demanding we watch his Skype call with a nobody

    @skype does anyone have the number for customer service for Skype. Been trying to cancel my account for months.

  • buckdasystem Globby (@buckdasystem) reported

    Kinda wondering if I should see about checking up on people I've not seen since Skype/MSN/AIM. I know I used to have a public account that everyone could just "add" me on, and a lot I've not seen since closing down my skype (and also ending my SpiderdaSquirrel account)

  • jadedjakuzure Jade (@jadedjakuzure) reported

    Ask her to screenshare through Skype instead. She shares her main screen only. The application with the error is on a different screen so I ask her to drag it to the main screen.

    @DrJessTaylor I had a conversation today with a student (via Skype) about how wearing he found it to get up, and go straight on the computer, and just do that day after day, no end in sight. Motivation is a real issue right now.
