    @CarmenCrincoli Mind trying to sign into Skype or another app? Pretty sure this breaks our login page...

  • leonspok Igor Savelev (@leonspok) reported

    Yet maybe it’s not Skype but Intel is the issue. Usually I make this call from my personal Mac Mini 2014 with Core i5 and it’s always quiet. I guess Intel Macbooks with higher number of cores (4+) are just terrible at heat management. Even my old MBP 13’ 2012 was better at this.

    @Skype I’m not sure what goes wrong, why there is always error. Last time my account was locked and now whenever I try to make calls, it says opps something went wrong?! Please help!

  • BradenHammond3 Braden (@BradenHammond3) reported

    @Sean_Boom @Timcast I have enough integrity to engage face to face with people on issues like this. There’s a reason why I’m using my real name. They tend not to get as out of hand compared to our conversation as well. Discord or Skype call is still open.

    @Microsoft You are telling for Skype why not providing teams.noise cansalsation not working properly.we are downloading krisp like that they are free. frustrating from microsoft expecting super apps.

  • JimBodie1 Jim Bodie (@JimBodie1) reported

    We spent the last year playing D&D over Skype and we dealt with performance issues. The DM got a paid Zoom membership and we're trying that now. So far Zoom is working better. I hope to go back to in person D&D someday.

  • ItisMoody Mahmoud “Moody” Shabeeb (@ItisMoody) reported

    @SkypeSupport hi, I cancelled my subscription a few days ago, yet it was renewed against my will and the subscription fee was deducted! Please help me get reimbursed, thank you.

  • the_spyde Charles Wells (@the_spyde) reported

    I tweeted a good bit about my lack of the ability of navigating the Skype window on the PC. I've just reported the problem. Good thing I could still navigate the settings window.

  • chewkameka Abhijith (@chewkameka) reported

    Wth happened to @Skype ? Why is there an error in the website?

  • tazwake Taz Wake (@tazwake) reported

    It's the same with Discord, Skype, teams etc. The signal to noise ratio is often terrible. People rush to speak, rather than think about what is being said. This is a problem of email vs letter, but IRC is worse. Emails are better at storage as well. Records matter.

  • WesDaviesArts Mossy Vagabond Wes 🦌 (@WesDaviesArts) reported

    @alexegesis I fully embrace my terrible blond mustache, but it is a struggle considering how much worse it looks on skype and zoom calls rip

  • ServeQueenVee ♛ 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐕𝐄𝐄 ♛ (@ServeQueenVee) reported

    I’m not doing Skype sessions until you ******* fund my new laptop. So. That’s a “you” problem.

  • CazzellDee dee cazzell (@CazzellDee) reported

    @b_altima9876 Oh I'm so sorry, its hard enough but to do it on your own is very overwhelming.. It may help you to be in therapy..i wonder if you can do it skype. Sometimes keeping a journal helps..some. Writing down things..our Lord Jesus is our strength..

  • Devindra Devindra Hardawar (@Devindra) reported

    @ElfArcanist Oh I think the key there is I wasn’t over Skype, it was having issues so I piped in via their OBS setup. But yes, thats an SM7B over a Scarlett 2i2, no EQ

  • Salty_Jenny Jenny Salt (@Salty_Jenny) reported

    @SkypeSupport I need help cancelling a Skype number that for whatever reason isn’t showing up under purchases. Cache & Cookies cleared without effect. There doesn’t seem to be a way to actually talk to a person on your end.

    We stopped gaming because Player who fears every single object is a mimic and Straight Edge Mind Mage forgot the terrible secret of a crooked die. It all went down on Skype.
