  @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 😂

  @fionapup ...if it's _not_ hardware related, you can have a friend (or even me!) log into your box via Team Viewer, and look at the system's behavior and load together. Add voice chat via Skype or Discord, I'd be up for it, and we might find and or even fix stuff. If it doesn't fix itself!

  @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.

  @SkypeSupport It turned out to be a bank credit card issue and not Skype, but the support person was very helpful in showing me how to update the payment options. Thanks!

  @WisdomToothDog @72stroopwafels Yes! That happened to me on my first few Skype lessons with a tutor (after a few months of hard study to get some basics down). I'd just go blank! Or be so focused on the few earlier words I recognized that I'd miss the rest of the sentence... So stressful!

  I'm hoping @Skype #CustomerService will respond to my DM...This has been an ongoing issue for several days now. I'd like to Skype with my Parents on Sunday but at this rate, another week will go by without the ability to do so. Very displeased. #poorcustomerservice

  @SkypeSupport Hello! I am so sorry for not getting back earlier. The issue seems to have resolved its self for now. I will let you know if it happens again. Thank you so much for the help.

  @MrsWard3 Well, I’m in my classroom at the moment having hooked up a WebCam and I am trying to figure out how to proceed with checking that Skype is going to work. This is a whole new territory for me. You help me out. If you are available to call at 925-768-5045, great.

  Tara Sloggett (@purpleorchid369) reported 18 minutes ago from St. Catharines, Ontario

  @SkypeSupport I am currently using Xbox One as my platform. The issue has been going on forever and sometimes it never happens, sometimes that is all it does.

  @theboydigital .... But then @Microsoft acquired @Skype and the product quality went down the toilet, leaving a massive need in the market for @zoom_us I reckon the same could happen with @LinkedIn well for those that don't need recruiters and outsource dev studios spamming you.

  Matt East (@matteastnz) reported 25 minutes ago from Auckland, Auckland

  @lightweight @paulbrislen @billbennettnz That’s more of a behaviour issue, not a technology one, Skype, FaceTime, Jitsi can all be used while driving...if I if I’m on a call with someone who is driving, I end it ASAP...nothing is that urgent

  cacarr (@cacarr) reported 26 minutes ago from Portland, Oregon

  @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.

  @galilevari @DieuDuong5 @mibra_mio Sure...can I fix up a Skype session this week

  Lol doing worry @manfuryxxx doesn't even do it for me. I have to get my fix from my amazing fans when they skype me.

  @sylveoncore ive decided to uninstall skype, id rather use an obscure chat service than use their pos. I really shouldnt have to make a separate account just for skype :/

  @jathko @ianlasch This is all so weird. So weird. I don't want to try to do this in tweets, but if you ever want to Skype I'm down for it

  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.

  Tara Sloggett (@purpleorchid369) reported 37 minutes ago from St. Catharines, Ontario

  @SkypeSupport As far as I know the Xbox updates regularly and there hasn’t been any changes I have made. I really appreciate the help.

  Too many Skype/Team service degradation advisories from Microsoft within this month alone. What's going on.

  Danny G. (@DannyGradio) reported 41 minutes ago from Burbank, California

  @PeculiarBaptist @Jonesy_Wales @ClayTravis @ColinCowherd It’s not callers, it’s guests with bad Skype connections (something I mentioned on-air before.) But Colin never had problems with Skype until this week

  @markjminer @bill_wints Problem is I’m sure they use Skype and spoof all of there numbers and some of them look legit....

  Andrzej Bobak (@andrzej_bobak) reported 43 minutes ago from Poznań, Greater Poland

  @xtofl @soylentgraham @ederstoico @rick_west8 I learned that synchronous tutoring provided the most benefit. A quick 1 on 1 skype/hangouts call and a walkthrough why someone uses a given approach, what are the upsides of alternate solutions, or brainstorm to quickly unblock someone stuck on a complex problem

• 
  Mr Brown (@mrbrownandyou) reported 48 minutes ago from Pleasant Hill, California

  @MrsWard3 I think I found the issue. It may be a firewall proxy issue that will need my site techs to fix. I played with Skype on my personal computer here at home and had no issues.

  Just had a phone call with a client via zoom on my home Uber pc. Because of security restrictions he had to use Skype for business . Much worse audio and terrible picture quality on the same setup . Skype for business is awful (at least for external folk)

  @Scriblit @fenifur Totally. Crap all where I live and with my MH issues travelling wipes me out. Luckily I am working currently on a project with people who Skype and email.
