I have received the dreaded "Meet Now icon" update. It's Microsoft's latest attempt to ram their dying Skype platform down their customers' throats. It's not reassuring that the only way to remove it is via a registry hack, and the registry key is called "HideSCAMeetNow"

@iTukela Have you attended an interview where there was no panel? You login and at a click questions pops up and you have 3 minutes to answer. Would you prefer that over online platforms like via Skype, Zoom, Teams with panels? #CoachingwithNolundi

My iphone/ipad already has the best camera. There are apps to solve this but they are all broken now because virtual webcam software is no longer supported on skype/facetime, apple removed that ability in signed applications or something like that.

@fureygirl @MollyJongFast Wow. Maybe you should invest in a phone. So that people can continue to contact you. There is also skype as an option. Or any other video calling service you could you. This doesnt need to be from a Facebook branded option. Facebook is not the only source for communications

******* @Microsoft is so stupid! Again, they are trying to force @Skype on me by adding a “Meet Now” button in the taskbar after an update. No surprise that the top search results are all about how to remove it. Never have this problem with Macs and Ubuntu.

@ar_wills I was struggling to work out the issues, with the grand daughter. I didnt want to put her in a position on air to discuss something that personal (and I was struggling to hear properly due to skype) That is an option, but I worry it is over engineering the problem for savings?

@Metrobank good morning, Im blocked away from doing online banking. I cant access my Metrobank account for about 6 weeks. All attempts to solve that problem failed. I sent you many eMails, did call up your call center, chatted with your employees in Skype.

After she tested positive they helped her Skype my Grandpa. It was the first time he'd seen her in 9 mo. but she was already drugged up & pretty much out of it. She kept asking my mom & Grandpa to help her b/c she couldn't breathe. I don't think she understood what was happening.

what do you reckon people would pay for skype calls where they tell me about their tech architecture and i laugh and tell them what they've done wrong and how to fix it? my guess is not actually a lot.
