@SkypeSupport I recorded a call via Skype on 2/25 and am now unable to download the video file, but I’m well within the 30 day window where you are able to download. Help would be appreciated.

@virginmedia It’s down again now and, according to the @virginmedia recorded message , will be interrupted ‘for short periods’ until 6pm today. Pretty unhelpful, esp as I often use Skype to speak to interviewees abroad

@GilWhitedale @chrislhayes These are data-slinging pocket computers now, and too few people care all that much about voice quality for it to be too much of a priority. And increasingly people voice communicate over IP anyhow -- Skype, FaceTime, Duo, etc -- and that's not a carrier issue.

@amandathedevnyc The remote IDE and Skype of a hard whiteboard algo problem was almost as painful as in person... I ended up not talking through the problem at all with the interviewer they even asked if i was still there more than once 😂😂😂

My new Directorate-General has no telephones - everything is done through Skype for Business. I arrived and found my PC doesn't have it, so I emailed the help desk to ask them to install it. The response was predictable. See if you can guess what it was. Answer tomorrow.

@SA_M21 Skype appts are legit and can decrease people physically going to the doctor when they don’t need to. Always gotta strive for peak healthcare utilization where we only seek care when we need it, and not for issues like the common cold.

Dear IT companies, in these days of Skype, Zoom. When everything is done remotely, your insistence on holding face to face interviews makes no sense, unless you are doing a mass recruitment. Half the day is gone driving down and then waiting for the interview.

So apparently, there was some big merger and Skype changed and I had to reinstall. Would have been nice to notify people or have skype auto update when I opened it instead of just giving me that useless error. I don't use skype daily, only every few months with my bff.

My favorite thing that happens at work is when I try to talk to people casually/tell them about my problems on Skype and they just clearly don’t care or don’t even bother to respond at all! I STAN lack of support in the workplace!!!! 🙃

@JermaineJupiter As someone who uses Skype daily for work, I feel like I should have known this. I just never thought of connecting the podcast concept to the service... Lol maybe I’m jus late ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There’s that too 😂

@SkypeSupport There was no instslled Skype. I grabbed from the App Store. I solved the issue (kinda) by downloading the Skype Preview installer and running it in Win8 compatibility mode.

I’ve had my laptop for 1 yr & use it for everything. I went to do a Skype interview- guess what won’t start up! So now I get to spend 1/2 of today @ the store diagnosing it & how much it’s gonna cost to fix instead of the day & a half I finally get to spend with my family. Cool.

@vaficionado @SkypeBusiness @zoom_us It was down yesterday too. Had back to back meetings yesterday which customers set up on Webex and Skype; Webex is so old and takes so long to join, skype just wasn’t working straight up. Love Zoom!!

@SkypeSupport Hi, it has started ever since I bought the package two weeks ago, I have also checked the status within my area and there are no issues there. I need to call landlines and mobiles so I bought the unlimited package
