  • athena4lynn Jen 🐶 (@athena4lynn) reported

    Teams/Skype is for quick questions, not for asking me to do things. I am not going to drop everything to babysit your issue. SEND ME A ******* EMAIL.

  • RuadhanSetter Nick (@RuadhanSetter) reported

    @nmwdesign @Tillymooze It was the international calls using local Skype type connections that pushed me that way. Anyone who I want on list wouldn’t have a problem.

  • Tyler_Sandsx Tyler Sands (@Tyler_Sandsx) reported

    In a way-to-bold move last week I bought sheets, pillows, and a comforter for the new bed and now I find myself $200 on Apollo’s physical therapy 😱😓😖 Any help would be super appreciated. I will do Skype shows for donations over $50 🥳

    WHY CANT I FIND SKYPE CALL TESTING SERVICE AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  • PittsfordAntifa (570,000 to 3,200) Pittsford, N.Y. Antifa (Parody) (@PittsfordAntifa) reported

    @rachbarnhart I have no issue with the calls being free, but they should be limited in duration and used to reward good behavior. And they should acquire wireless technology to enable voice calls from cells and Skype in certain circumstances. Legacy process is way too labor intensive.

  • GiveMeWaff1es Lexi At Front Desk 29:🎄Christmas Is In, So In🎄 (@GiveMeWaff1es) reported

    "An error occurred during your Skype meeting" "your connection is fixed" Just **** OFF

  • vafa_qas Vafa Qasımova (@vafa_qas) reported

    @SkypeSupport Hi, I'm having difficulty with updating Skype. I can't update it either automatically or manually. Can you help?

  • illegutt illegutt (@illegutt) reported

    Using @Skype for Android, there are no notifications sent to the notification system for calls, which means that no notifications are sent to my smartwatch. No such problem with chats as they are shown as notifications. Why this poor design?

  • edstub207 Eddie Stubbington (@edstub207) reported

    Okay I just shut down my PC and heard the Skype call sound.... But my Skype account hasn't got any activity. I'm very confused...

  • dandesim Dan DeSimone (@dandesim) reported

    @Stammy I feel like this is an issue in every chat app, not just Slack. Skype and Teams have it and even Outlook and Gmail. Asynchronous informal messaging = good Chat as a means to cut the email queue = bad

  • htsn39 25ji lovebot (23/300) (@htsn39) reported

    fuckignnhhhhh got woken up by a text from dhl, managed to go back to sleep, got woken up by bros skype ringing and he wouldnt answer it, trying to get back to sleep, then mum calls to ask for help w photoshop

  • ChrisNeiweem Christopher Neiweem (@ChrisNeiweem) reported

    @Ask_WellsFargo I am not able to use Skype on my phone . I have WhatsApp but can’t make outgoing calls. I am in an emergency and seem to be begging my bank to help, the us embassy asked me to call my bank. I can’t. Can you call me ?’ How can you help !?

    @Female_Vegeta_ //I haven't used Skype in forever XD I forgot my login stuff

    @frankietwitt54 @BBCNewsNI Your bloody having a laugh . You can not see a doctor . Not everyone has or can use skype or others systems . People need proper service not the poor quality we are getting.

  • Coleadve David Cole (@Coleadve) reported

    Anyone heard of Airpods not working via MS Teams or skype? Why and how?

  • tommy_boy_ref Tom Anstice-Mitchell (@tommy_boy_ref) reported

    @firstdirect In the end at nearly 22:30 I was able to sort my problem out with help from Jacob. The fact I had been trying since 19:30 with every call dropping out is completely unacceptable. I attempted on mobile and Skype. I’ve request a call back which I expect today to raise a complaint

  • Jfswift Deer (@Jfswift) reported

    @FolfPhoenix I haven't used it much since discord came out. Skype is okay though. I've never had any real issues with it

  • saif_saifridha saif ridha (@saif_saifridha) reported

    @Elite_KJ @TFTMedia1 kJ I am really angry at you at terry I’m banned everytime I call on Skype I said porgba is virus terry said shut up shut me down blocked my Skype account I thought his channel is open to opinion why has terry blocked me why he hates me so much I done nothing wrong

  • Azarion196 Azarion (@Azarion196) reported

    @KatjaSavia I agree with @Cr1ptkeeper but that is also just a single option. Just having someone to talk to even over something like Discord or Skype (not just messaging) can really help by having hearing someone's voice in real time. Of course it doesn't fix loneliness but can at least help

  • louisewilso Louise Wilson (@louisewilso) reported

    @ScotTories @scottishlabour @scotlibdems Murrell has addressed the WhatsApp issue in a letter to the committee. He reiterated he does no use the app. He said: "There are several messaging apps on my phone that I don’t use. This includes profiles on Facebook Messenger, LinkedIn, Instagram, Slack, Skype, and WhatsApp"

  • RaeGun2k Neovagina Evangelion Holiday Special (@RaeGun2k) reported

    @moesmixtapes @Jdanielledoiron Clearly you haven't been following the steady worsening of Skype. Frankly, Teams is the only reason the worsening of Skype slowed down. The morons are too busy breaking that.

  • JestCurses Jest Curses (@JestCurses) reported

    @JamesAntonHake James, its me Jesse. Can you help me call in to Jesse today? I'm on edge. I can't slow my heart. So much has happened. Is there any way to call the show besides the phone? Skype or anything? Please.

  • cricadharsh AD (@cricadharsh) reported

    @BalakumaranVr Skype has never been an issue for me. Even calls. But there are 2 guys who constantly switch to Hindi

  • sofieaomr harvest some braincells 🌱 (@sofieaomr) reported

    thinking about how i asked to skype but ad just came down straight to me yest,, watched me sleep and buy me ice cream,, m so loved and thankful hehe

  • Surely_Not 🍁🍎🍂🍐🍁🌽🍂 (@Surely_Not) reported

    @wirecutter @melaniepinola Our small office switched from Skype to Teams. I like the chat and the ability to share my screen, but we all have trouble with calls not connecting properly the first time. I rarely can hear/be heard until one of us calls back once or twice. Echoing without earphones is annoying

  • minfrin Graham Leggett (@minfrin) reported

    @DiDataMEA @Skype Hey Dimension Data in Johannesburg, according to Skype "the number you're trying to reach is out of service". Any news when your phones will be back up and working again?

  • itszuniiii Zunash △⃒⃘ (@itszuniiii) reported

    at this point I'm down for a skype nikkah

  • dankness3 WIll jaffe (@dankness3) reported

    I remember when we were both 24 tabling for SNE on pokerstars- we had a random skype convo where he mentioned something about how draining and robotic it was and how he really just wanted to cut down and focus on getting better. At the time I was so ecstatic to making that..
