    Feeling randomly super guilty because I was supposed to help my grandma Skype her best friend 2 years ago but I was super busy with work at that time and then her friend passed away and they never got to see each other one last time.

  • Philip_Stag Military Advisors Group (@Philip_Stag) reported

    @Skype Ladies and Gentlemen. We have a continent of plastic waste floating in the North Atlantic Ocean. Who can finance us a system for recovering and recycling this plastic waste ? Thank you very much for your help & involvement !

  • ngevau Urah (@ngevau) reported

    @Nkanyiso_ngqulu I still don't understand how Skype dropped the ball when we desperately needed their service and after dominating that market for such a long time. 🤔

  • Kona2na Kona2na (@Kona2na) reported

    @JanuaryAndOn I had to install it because my laptop automatically adjusts my camera to show black n white in Zoom calls. And the ONLY way to fix it is to go into Skype and click "allow color" or something like that

  • sugalino tete (@sugalino) reported

    @interIude_suga i have no idea how they know but they knew abt me and i tried sharing it via skype, discord, google meet and zoom and the same problem would occur....

  • BPDFamily BPD Family (@BPDFamily) reported

    Just spent the past hour on Skype with my therapist ‘masking’ how I was feeling by laughing after everything I said. It wasn’t until she pointed this out, that I stopped, slowed down, and was able to communicate that I was nervous. Now I feel present, calm & back in my body #BPD

  • NateSeems Nate (@NateSeems) reported

    @Timcast @reitma99 @hasanthehun If you were serious about "debating" Hasan, you'd have no problem doing it via Skype or Zoom. You don't actually want to debate him. You just want to pretend.

  • JohnCroall John Croall (@JohnCroall) reported

    @rdlarter There are some benefits to the year I guess. After not working for 15 years my wife got a job in a lab testing for Covid. I’m lined up, retired 7 years, to start giving the vaccine. And we’ve discovered the delights of Zoom/Skype/Microsoft Teams/etc. #SilverLining

  • D3athB0B D3athB0B (@D3athB0B) reported

    @SkypeSupport Still waiting on help I have sent a DM with info

  • sunshyn_BUL Витамин Дъ (@sunshyn_BUL) reported

    @VessOnSecurity I was logged out of Skype this morning. It said I needed to login again for security reasons.

  • TEHGJPTDDDO Taj Mahal and the Tijuana Brass (@TEHGJPTDDDO) reported

    I shut down. Completely. Sure, I still posted on my social media, but all this was just a distraction to me. I had no one to talk to. I was on Skype. All of my friends were on Discord. And, my in-person friends? ARE YOU CRAZY? ... That’s what I thought.

  • FahdRasool mariam Fahd Rasool (@FahdRasool) reported

    Your Skype work partner probably not looking at the screen, but maybe they are, maybe they know you're not working.

  • crazypersoncal ash 💞 (@crazypersoncal) reported

    I was devastated, because Alex was trying to help me through my crush and then all of a sudden he couldn't. Luke and I continued talking, this time through Skype. Eventually he started dating one of Alex's friends.

  • VessOnSecurity Vess (@VessOnSecurity) reported

    Shows the last 2 digits of her phone and asks her to enter the last 4 digits. When she does, Skype says there was a problem with the service. Is there some outage going on or is this yet another Microsoft/Skype ****-up?

  • ElisabethMJ01 Elisabeth Jennings (@ElisabethMJ01) reported

    @HotmailUK_Help I am disabled and locked out of my Hotmail account with emails coming in daily. I have tried to recover my account but haven't used Skype for years. Please can u help me?

  • williamdylan13 william (@williamdylan13) reported

    Not me going on skype with an older man because he wants to see me bust all over. Sends nudes to help.

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

    Im a nonthreatening feminist boy, come talk to me on Skype! talk to me on skype about your problems as a woman i sympathize i’m taking womens studies. I took women’s studies I know what ‘systematic’ means.

  • Weeaboo__Bot Weeaboo Bot (@Weeaboo__Bot) reported

    Im a nonthreatening feminist ninja! talk to me on skype about your problems as a woman i sympathize i’m taking womens studies. I took women’s studies I know what ‘Communism’ means. Man I’m so horny today. Sorry.I’m sorry. I just came out and said it.

  • den2k Leeroy Jenkins (@den2k) reported

    @Bhaal_Spawn MouseJiggler.exe solves the problem if you can use it. Long story short, I have to use a customer supplied shitbox but I develop on my machine. Shitbox is the only machine that can connect to their VPN, Skype, e-mail.

  • deanlewis92 Dean Lewis (@deanlewis92) reported

    If all they are bothered about is the dress code of someone on Skype, there’s a serious issue with our government 🤯🤯🤯 @BBCNews

  • missgeog92 L A U R A 🌍 (@missgeog92) reported

    @GeographyStar @camsgeog I don't think so? I was on skype for well over 2 hours with my supervisor over lockdown doing my MA and had no issues :)

  • RicardoDonato9 🎃Rick🎃 (@RicardoDonato9) reported

    @Timcast @reitma99 @hasanthehun Use Skype. Problem solved.

  • salmanmemonsai1 muhammad salman (@salmanmemonsai1) reported

    @PalmExchange Dear Sir, I don't know whether i am entering my id correct or not but if you check i am writing you an email from the same email address which i always use to login into palmex exchange kindly check all my details call me on skype whatsapp telegram to contact thanx

  • RespectableLaw Respectable Lawyer (@RespectableLaw) reported

    @Timcast @reitma99 @hasanthehun The truth is that you're must be scared of actually talking to Hasan (which you could easily on Skype), so you'd rather double-down on a live appearance that you can feel safe knowing won't ever happen. Chickenshit maneuver.
