  • MissLexisaurus Alexis🤶 (she/her) (@MissLexisaurus) reported

    **** 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

  • UCF_IT UCF IT (@UCF_IT) reported

    UCF IT Telecommunication is currently aware of issues with all outgoing calls from Skype for Business & Cisco deskphones cannot be made. UCF IT Telecommunication will continue to investigate and find resolution.

  • preparetocry achilles’ heelys (@preparetocry) reported

    My Skype login is lolioni (I WAS’NT USING IT IN LKE TEN YEARS PLS DONT KILL ME)

  • NoahBensiSFW 🎅🏼Santa’s ₙ-HO-ₐₕ🎄 (@NoahBensiSFW) reported

    I need a sugar daddy who pays my bills so I can put my money toward things what I enjoy and help grow my business I need a sugar daddy who has Netflix watch/Skype parties with me where we make popcorn and get in our PJs I need a sugar daddy who buys us season passes to Disney

  • dinglut Rory Campbell (@dinglut) reported

    @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

  • tznkai K. Chen (@tznkai) reported

    Like if branch office 19's network back-end sucks, that will get reported up until someone with enough juice says "fix it" or "this costs too much money to care about". Hell, I've seen what happens when the CEO of an enterprise has opinions on Skype.

  • MichaelJosem Michael Josem (@MichaelJosem) reported

    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?

  • raduede Richard Duede (@raduede) reported

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

  • chase__thomas Chase Thomas (@chase__thomas) reported

    I cannot for the life of me figure out why Piezo is not picking up my Skype calls anymore, but will pick up any other service. My Skype settings haven’t changed. (Cc: @tyhildenbrandt?)

  • ProviD_ Provideniya (@ProviD_) reported

    @GullScreaming How does OneDrive help me stop some of the Win10 settings changing and/or resetting almost on every update that is forced on us? Let's add some more keywords here. Skype Outlook umm.. Windows Defender Office My Phone Microsoft Text Input Application

  • justin_khanna Justin Khanna (@justin_khanna) reported

    @PrfctLitlBites I’m contemplating switching to Zoom from Skype + ECamm recorder....it’s hard when you can’t tell if it’s an internet speed or software issue

  • redmeepleryan RedMeepleRyan (@redmeepleryan) reported

    @Loravara It will do the same thing with Skype. It has to do with the headset being paired both as stereo headphones and handsfree headset and the headset being selected for communications by default. On Windows I'd recommend disabling the headset profile to avoid this issue in future.

  • DailyDOOH DailyD😷OH #AdTECH #OOH (@DailyDOOH) reported

    @MeganADutta Dear Megan I wrote you but still ain't Zoomin' I left my cell, my whatsapp and my Skype at the bottom I sent 2 emails back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em There probably was a problem with the server or somethin' I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan

  • johnboiles johnboiles (@johnboiles) reported

    @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

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

  • meeshwx Meesh (@meeshwx) reported

    Meant to message my sister on Skype complaining that the tech guy was patching me and sent the message to him instead 🥴🥴 calling him a ‘teasing bugga’ for saying he’s going to fix my system but not actually doing it ahhhhhh. RIDDY!

  • FacelessAFK Faceless (@FacelessAFK) reported

    I just said "later peepos" instead of later peeps in my Skype work group chat as I was closing down my pc.. I need to lay off Twitch

  • LariTudor Rosamund Clifford, Rose of the World (@LariTudor) reported

    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?

  • CyanZelda Eᴍᴏ Zᴇʟᴅᴀ | possible hiatus ???🙃? (@CyanZelda) reported

    ☽︎ hey, guys, I need to like call someone, because I straight up haven't talked all day and I feel like I need to laugh with someone. Idk. Help pls? I got discord, Google duo, telegram, and Skype.

  • mghypnosis MG Hypnosis (@mghypnosis) reported

    @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!

  • pepperandpale Alice (@pepperandpale) reported

    @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

  • malia_nw malia (@malia_nw) reported

    I am not a fan of teams / zoom / Skype meetings when I can see most people looking down at their phones 🙄

  • TomboyTemplar (18+) Hoerena (@TomboyTemplar) reported

    22. Discord all the way. Skype is a terrible program that I only refer to as "The Dark Days."

  • idonttakestocks Tony (@idonttakestocks) reported

    @discord i dont use ur shitty service i use skype and teamspeak loser

  • alexaschram Alexa (@alexaschram) reported

    and I have yet to be on problem free zoom/teams/skype meeting

  • MichaelJosem Michael Josem (@MichaelJosem) reported

    @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.

  • mbgantwerp Mind-BendingGrammars (@mbgantwerp) reported

    @_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.

  • Viktor_Yeen Viktor (@Viktor_Yeen) reported

    HELP I HAVE THE SKYPE RINGTONE STUCK IN MY HEAD! I HAVEN'T USED SKYPE SINCE I WAS LIKE 15.
