  @craigperko They patched in some dedicated Skype button recently that was actually pushing notifications to me (while I have the notifications function entirely disabled), and every official rep was INSISTING, smiley faces and all, that because Skype isn't installed, there's no problem.

  I have received the dreaded "Meet Now icon" update. It's Microsoft's latest attempt to ram their dying Skype platform down their customers' throats. It's not reassuring that the only way to remove it is via a registry hack, and the registry key is called "HideSCAMeetNow"

  I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you're on a Zoom/Skype/Whatever call and you're not talking, mute yourself. Background noises being picked up by your mic and cause issues when other people are talking.

  @Amanda_Bhopes Yeah that sounds like a good plan. I guess I could Skype my parents but God help me if I have to explain technology over the phone to a couple of 70 year olds 😣

  My iphone/ipad already has the best camera. There are apps to solve this but they are all broken now because virtual webcam software is no longer supported on skype/facetime, apple removed that ability in signed applications or something like that.

  what do you reckon people would pay for skype calls where they tell me about their tech architecture and i laugh and tell them what they've done wrong and how to fix it? my guess is not actually a lot.

  @iTukela Have you attended an interview where there was no panel? You login and at a click questions pops up and you have 3 minutes to answer. Would you prefer that over online platforms like via Skype, Zoom, Teams with panels? #CoachingwithNolundi

  Manipulative **** mother can die in a fire. She wants me to help my uncle set up skype. I am no better at using google than anyone else. "Oh but you really are so clever at these things!" and then when I continue to point out how little good I can be

  @sergimansilla I tried all the commercial ones (elgato, manycam) and they all broke mac support on anything newer than 10.14, facetime and skype are broken.

  @taseroth Our company is retiring Skype. We use WebEx since years in and externally. This year most internal calls use Teams. It almost had never issues with voice quality and drop outs.

  ...so FB messenger is down again. That’s fun if you don’t have Discord/WhatsApp/Skype/a phone.

  @ar_wills I was struggling to work out the issues, with the grand daughter. I didnt want to put her in a position on air to discuss something that personal (and I was struggling to hear properly due to skype) That is an option, but I worry it is over engineering the problem for savings?

  Skype for Business doesn't have read receipts but if **** is going down in work I send a message then click another window as quick as possible. It's like a survival response.

  Got tech problems with my broadcast camera at home so having to do my @thismorning slot via Skype in an emergency. Love the fact the warning message "ITV is using a device that could record or broadcast this call" has popped up

  @MichaelJordaan Generally good for most tasks, experiencing alot of issues with intermittent disconnects from corporate VPN especially during a skype call over VPN. Happens most frequently from midday onwards, works fine when checking with another provider. Please test this.

  she switches to "Well, if you can't be bothered..." OMFG. So now, despite the fact I'll probably be no USE AT ALL I'm having to help my uncle set up Skype. over the phone. I hate being tech support for my family. It's frustrating and stupid. I can fix stuff if I'm sitting at that

  @fureygirl @MollyJongFast Wow. Maybe you should invest in a phone. So that people can continue to contact you. There is also skype as an option. Or any other video calling service you could you. This doesnt need to be from a Facebook branded option. Facebook is not the only source for communications

  Hmmm I could either invest in this Zoom thing that’s basically Skype, or this hot new streaming service Quibi. -someone in 2019
