@Skype horrible customer service and lies!!! And if they don’t want to deal with you they cut you off! Thanks Microsoft I expected more!!! Be careful dealing with support agenda Geronimo and Mar Lois!

You know how sometimes you have a login for different websites, but they’re part of the same company? Say, for example, Skype, Outlook, and Xbox for Microsoft. Previously, Dashlane would save all these accounts individually, which could be frustrating for our users.

@StefanWaterland @FinanceDirCFO That's Microsoft's problem of work life vs private life perception. A lot of people want to share photos with their family. They don't send them one by one, they share the screen and click through entire folders. No one drops photos one by one in the convo window. Sorry Skype!

@JBango1 @NoahBensiSFW My Skype account already got flagged. No more google drive for storing content. Onlyfans cracking down on content posted. It’s getting ridiculous :(

@katrinnahendrix Kafkian nightmare. (Sometimes Canada Post outlets in pharmacies have fax service... that or maybe finding an app with a free trial? Skype used to be able to fax... for scanning I like the Office Lens app)

@nyactor I am not certain how i feel about them shutting down parler. It was a good way to keep track of plans, possible threats, etc. now they will be going undercover using private messages, skype and other chat or meeting services. Should have kept parler and infiltrated... see next

Hi @SkypeSupport for past few months every incoming/outgoing call drops home internet connection not just on skype device but whole internet network where other devices are impacted. This doesn't happen w/ MS Teams. Support can't figure out. Very annoying. Help!

@OspreyPacks awful service! I am a nurse working in London and my parents bought me an Osprey bag for Christmas, I have just opened my presents over Skype and the bag is too small so I’d like to exchange it. But you’re saying no. What kind of thank you is this to the @NHSuk!

@andybudd It’s a Skype replacement for online gamers. I use it with friends for multiplayer Starcraft 2 games. It’s lower latency and bandwidth requirements mean games like that don’t get slowed down by all the babble.

@parlertakes Nah, unless iys a Skype meeting. He’s in full self-pity mode. Pacing around in his sweats, stress eating Oreos , crying about impeachment to any aide or secret service agent foolish enough not to disguise themselves with a lampshade.

@Skype how do we get in contact with you to change a user name? Too hard on web especially when I can't remember the password and the reset goes to a now defunct email address! Help! :-)

@Keizaron I have this same problem with Skype. I just learned to remove it because I refuse to let the negativity move forward with me.

@Letxuga007 @norapeterson_1 @anjuan I know, right! I told my previous boss about my anxiety problem and he would hit me up on Skype with "Tony, I need a minute of your time to ask you to prioritise something" or similar. He also told me that he would always leave (rare) negative stuff to our one on ones.

@theSamParr The worst thing I have found with communities is losing memories and contributions you have made or previous conversations. Slack for that is terrible, Facebook honestly isn't great at finding it either. Skype used to be ok, but then I lost access to 8-year-old conversations.

@ccdreamsofkemet @Biancadonk91 @Readygov It would be like the government came in and shut down Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, SMS, Telegram, Signal, Parler, Zoom, Skype, and more all at the same time so no one in the country could use their phone to communicate with anyone.

@acryptolion Yep, that's the 1 thing in common among a lot of guys I know doing bigger volumes, no social media - and never even had one. Mostly just DMs in Telegram/Skype but then not super active. After a certain level everyone who can help you is a competitor who never will.
