@jptrthndr Microsoft gave up any rights to MSNBC years ago. I’ve seen people using Skype and Zoom; but there are security issues with zoom. I haven’t seen anyone using gotomeeting. 2020 not only has a pandemic exposing issues its exposing our cruddy cyber broadband as well.

@How_can_I_lose @BarryMeps I never scammed a single person I have had legal reasons for not doing one contest and rescheduled a very short percentage of my Skype calls. People have refused refunds and I can’t help that

@SkypeSupport Sorry I’ve been so snarky, I feel like the choice to use GUIDs was a really smart way to avoid this problem and it was a good idea, I’m just not looking forward to going through the process of deleting my account and putting it all back together in a new one.

@TheWrestlingPo2 @NishGuy @goodbadwrestle Click on the drop down menu and put it on your USB mic. Also, go into Windows settings and change the default Communication device to your usb mic because Skype, Audacity etc tend to revert back to default periodically.

@DJTIEMAN That maybe what you got but are you sure that's the answer? Did you validate your work? I'm also more than happy to help you via Skype or zoom or telepathy with your math homework if you want. Just got to give me some notice.

@LUBOttom @bodmansjaxs That's disgusting, it may help to download skype, if you have decent internet available, I always use it when calling numbers that charge a lot, usually it comes out much cheaper.

@WardaDave @calphonso Problem is how many. Denmark solved the class size problem with Skype but only 12 were in class and 12 on remote - not home. Requires a teacher centered approach but that's not the end of the world. The remote kids just watch though and get a handout. They are in class nxt day.

@MyBallsRPatentd For us the teacher had office hours where they were on skype and could answer questions quickly. We weren’t trying to learn by watching a video of a teacher. I think that’s where there’s a problem with the way they are doing it now.

@usconsmontreal @StateDept @TravelGov Is there any possibility of conducting the immigration visa interviews through video call (Skype)? I assume it would help on speeding the process and riding away with the backlog you may have now.
