  • GHOneTV GHOne TV (@GHOneTV) reported from Accra, Greater Accra Region

    We say doctor-patient ratio is low but that data was collected before the age of digital. Now we can use technology to cut down direct contact with patients, like talking to patients through Skype — Kwame Sarpong Asiedu, health expert #GHToday with @Serwaa_Amihere

  • KayKat_ Kay 💋 (@KayKat_) reported from Houston, Texas

    Logged into my Skype thinking I was about to go down memory lane...joke was on me 😕😂

  • pritch008 Ron Prichard (@pritch008) reported from Auckland, Auckland

    @TheAirIsHeavy @lisastark351 Was thinking about that overnight. Skype would be OK for the wedding but the honeymoon might be a bit of a let down.

  • perrycomics Perry Comics (@perrycomics) reported from Riverview Estates, Florida

    @OBSProject hey I downloaded the ndi plug it but when ever I go to add a Skype call I get a red dot top left and then I resize and it’s a black screen.. and way to fix

  • pauli_jorge Jorge Pauli Matos (@pauli_jorge) reported from Manhattan, New York

    @LegalizeitLala They should call it by their proper names. There's different farms just like ********. Krypto, Space X, Skype and many more. The problem is: they don't have any THC. They are big Bud's but very poisoning. They're called smokable buds which can be purchased on line sent by UPS.

  • alexjacksondir Alex Jackson (@alexjacksondir) reported from Honiton, England

    Also a special thank you to my partner in this particular crime @elainef99 who has been a total inspiration to me throughout the whole process and has put up with some terrible Skype problems and remote working solutions in order to make it happen.

  • dahowlett ⒹⒺⓃ•Ⓗ ㋡ (@dahowlett) reported from Wilsden, England

    I remember when MSFT bought Skype I went with a laundry list of issues they promised would be fixed. None and I mean nada, zippo, sweet **** all EVER got dev love.

  • speirin Henry Joseph-Grant (@speirin) reported from Berlin, Land Berlin

    @Suhail .... And anything that is good which they acquire literally goes down the toilet e.g Hotmail, Skype, Linkedin etc etc etc. Their only product that I rate highly is their business intelligence software.

    Skype problem gambling meeting coming up at 4pm eastern. Hit me or @JPWdel1955 for an invite! #recovery #onedayatatime #stigmafighter #stigmafree

  • IrlEmbAthens Irish Embassy Athens (@IrlEmbAthens) reported from Galway City, Connaught

    If you’re trying to get in touch w friends or family use WhatsApp/FB messenger/Viber/Skype/similar platforms as there are some issues with phone signal & land lines. Elevators should be avoided if possible until all aftershocks have passed. Keep following local news for updates.

  • JustGoob Goob🐉💜🍾 (@JustGoob) reported from Henderson, Nevada

    Vegas con contacts me to be a guest. Asks to interview me via Skype to discuss future plans. Get on skype- he looks me up and down and then tells me I don't have enough followers and to contact him when I reached 10k. Reached 10k and beyond. Will never contact him.

  • mortuarygem Mortuary Gem (@mortuarygem) reported from Romford, England

    @DmiMorgan Also my mate got down to final two, I was with her when she was having her Skype call with the producers and the process.. there’s so much behind closed doors than what you see on screen, and that’s when I lost my ratings for it

  • bendell Benjamin Dell (@bendell) reported from Farnborough, England

    @jamesjgill Lol i feel your pain. This is why I stopped using Skype a couple of years ago. The UX is just terrible.

  • SizzleOndaBass Brown Skin Boi™ (@SizzleOndaBass) reported from Johannesburg, Gauteng

    Work wouldn't even be an issue, I'd just take my laptop, find a hot desk, Skype in if need be.

  • BalGill2020 Balvinder Singh Gill (@BalGill2020) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    My parents love me deeply and want me home. They made an error because I am an entrepreneur not a psychopath. @garyvee i am active and read 4 hours a day and talk on skype. They thought i was talking to myself

  • kareen_sauceda Karen Castillo (@kareen_sauceda) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @SkypeSupport There is a problem with Skype UK. It's not working. 😭

  • tlhInganHom Hal (@tlhInganHom) reported from Minneapolis, Minnesota

    My Skype status at work is "Ugly bag of mostly water" and I was told that it makes at least one person uncomfortable. I suggested they watch more Star Trek but that didn't help.

  • rosskimes Ross Kimes (@rosskimes) reported from Norman, Oklahoma

    @zorm @jmwolfinbarger I’m not worried about the camera. It’s about the web server that bypasses system security features and sticks around after deleting the app that is the issue. And I don’t use Skype or Hangouts either 😁

  • VTBobF Bob F (@VTBobF) reported from Burlington, Vermont
