Did patents help Skype from having it's lunch eaten by zoom? Why are there still new chat platforms up and coming? Who would think that Email could still be competitive?

@ciruelapasa17 @makeupaguy right? I drop out of discord calls constantly despite having a full internet connection, but I never have that issue with skype unless I actually do have internet troubles

@dabitch Another thing. Skype was two products. Consumer Skype was ok, but business Skype cost too much and was terrible. Every time someone told a manager to use Skype in their business, they'd choose the wrong one.

@SkypeSupport hi, if I start a free conf call Is there a way to terminate the call so no one else can join into it going forward? eg/. teacher sends help desk link out in the morning but then wants to end it (or stop people joining) at the end of sch day? Thanks.

The problem with this lockdown is there are people with mental illness that are totally cut off from the rest of the world because we don't have access to things like #Skype or #Zoom. @AlexRuff17 @JustinTrudeau

Why oh why do Sly TV insist on using Skype to interview people via Skype, it is by far the worst of ALL chat systems available. No other service uses such dated systems, suffering from voices out of sync, frozen screens and people. Invest in modern technology!!

@KryckIund When Xbox live was out it did alot of early streaming stuff before Netflix, and Skype (Discord now a days) got big, but now that they are. Online service really can't offer anything I don't have. Looking at Nintendo's online is the biggest reason paying for online is a sad joke.

@dabitch Probably didn’t help that Microsoft is trying to get organizations to move from Skype to Teams.

@alanswan Skype can be very fiddly. People often seem to have trouble locating other people on it -- Zoom is just an all-round better platform.

@TheeMarkZ Mark you may have to go into camera settings and give Skype permission from Windows settings. I had an online meeting a few months ago on an old PC and had this issue.

@Skype I'm concerned for the wellbeing of one of my Skype contacts, but don't have enough information for his local police to help. I've sent a direct message with more information. I've been in touch with Skype support twice now, but no dice.

@translationtalk I'm having this issue now and I'm not quite sure why. I used to be able to skype with no problem. However, I can no longer use my home connection to use Skype or Zoom. I have to use my cellphone! It's a huge issue for me.

@_Jean__Valjean @kerri_HD @adrianraee Lol I wouldn’t go that far... the only scenes that work are the found footage. Otherwise you’ve got Vin Donofrio telling Ethan Klein “It looks like you’ve got a Baghoul problem on your hands there boss” over Skype. Riveting.

I have a Teams meeting at 10.45 and I'm using a five year old Mac... I sat down at 10.10... After 35 minutes of failed attempts and spinning beachballs I've had to log in as guest because I apparently don't exist. Whatever was wrong with Skype? Skype worked perfectly fine!

@C19LongHauler @Hol_Jessica @preshitorian Mostly talking in specific circumstances like if I have to give a talk on Zoom or Skype. It also happened (more moderately) when walking. But it's really uneven i.e. I have periods when it's 99% min 96%. And others (in relapses) when it goes down in freefall.

@Skype Could Skype STOP messing with my microphone settings at Windows level ? This is insanity, it's a terrible UX. And I have to fix the Skype settings PER USER, and it has been refixed like every week PER USER. I would never use this thing if I had a choice

@joseeramirez Hello Jose, we currently don't have a way to send access codes via email. If a traditional phone call isn't possible you can also try to call us using the internet. Simply choose a VoIP service provider such as Skype, Google Hang outs, Viber, etc. then dial 1-800-956-4442. -Lacie

@BobDigi69 We've been using a messenger service through Skype for business which IMO is better. But management loves these dumb emails. I get It, they're busy, gotta reach a bunch of staff quickly, but the people replying don't know when to use reply all and when not to.

Bye bye, @Xfinity. I don't need full service. I'll live without a remote pass. Bye bye, @Microsoft. All the calls that Skype missed or misforwarded & now I need your Edge browser to access my settings. Should have dumped you as soon as you ended free service. Good riddance.

@ServiceCanada_E @CanRevAgency No problem, I'll just stay up late and call at your convenience to ask if you'd please do your jobs. Now do I use my cell which is on a pay-as-I-go plan so I use minutes even if a collect call, or should I use Skype so I use minutes even if collect call?

Just saw that I can get a custom vid on Cameo from Lee Majors for a whopping $299. For that much I expect a Skype session where he strips down from his track suit while I scream at him in my Andre the Giant Bigfoot costume.

@ecommerceshares I don’t think network effects work *as powerfully* in p2p as they do in broadcast/social. The original issue you’ve highlighted is the right one — execution risk from mgmt. Skype didn’t evolve for years (like Twitter) and an objectively superior product came along.
