    Skype sessions for the late night subs. I don’t ever do Skype but I can’t sleep and I am feeling kinda bored. Who is down, send me a DM 💸💸

  • m_ashcroft Michael Ashcroft (21/100 YouTube videos) (@m_ashcroft) reported

    @anomiseditrix This is a super common issue in bigger corporate environments on either Teams or Skype. Hate it.

  • divyavkcs divya kudalkar (@divyavkcs) reported

    @Airtel_Presence Issue is still not resolved. @Airtel_Presence network is damn slow. Can’t even open teams or Skype for meeting

  • katieaune Katie Aune (@katieaune) reported

    @StateStSports We did some Skype calls at work just before the pandemic and the quality and connection were awful. If more than a couple people were on, video and sound would keep breaking up. By contrast, we've had 200 people on Zoom calls with no problems.

  • MissGreig10 Miss Greig & P3 (@MissGreig10) reported

    @MrsMarleneBoyd No problem! Skype was playing up this afternoon 🤨 Let M know we missed him but are looking forward to hopefully seeing him tomorrow! Fingers crossed for a scavenger hunt at 9:30 👍🏼

  • boosted_bot BoostedLight bot (@boosted_bot) reported

  • Pudge92377803 Pudge (@Pudge92377803) reported

    @ChristinaPykles @TheNamesQ Are you going to do a podcast about the case? That would be awesome. Just like Serial.. Quality audio is my biggest gripe. I once listened to a podcast where he spoke to people over Skype. I felt like he was reporting from inside my wardrobe the sound was terrible. Good luck

  • pawlo117531 Pawlo Y. Seas (@pawlo117531) reported

    @katrinnahendrix Kafkian nightmare. (Sometimes Canada Post outlets in pharmacies have fax service... that or maybe finding an app with a free trial? Skype used to be able to fax... for scanning I like the Office Lens app)

  • UlsterUniISD Ulster Uni ISD (@UlsterUniISD) reported

    STAFF: Please note there are some issues with Skype for Business calls today, this has been reported to our service providers, and they are working on resolving this issue for us.

  • JOHNNYBALACLAVA Johnny Balaclava AKA Johnny Bucka (@JOHNNYBALACLAVA) reported

    @ucas_online Are the international numbers for help working? I've tried undergraduate and postgraduate phone numbers from Skype and it isn't working right now

  • STEELFROST_ STEELFROST the Limit Breaker (@STEELFROST_) reported

    @Keizaron I have this same problem with Skype. I just learned to remove it because I refuse to let the negativity move forward with me.

  • Mummy4all Mummy 4 data & Evident: Geek comedian entrepreneur (@Mummy4all) reported

    @ProfMattFox I struggled/struggle w/ this sometimes too. 1st download zoom onto your laptop directly either for Mac or Windows 2 login 3 launch zoom on laptop 4 check your settings /open zoom via "app" 5 then go to emails and click link 6 call an IT friend for help 7 try Skype or Google meets

  • _Rbot_ Rooben.avi (@_Rbot_) reported

  • aspirationalbob Kylo Ben (@aspirationalbob) reported

    We have upgraded from Skype to Teams, much excitement abounds. Though it was the source of yesterday's outage

  • elllipsis Syed (@elllipsis) reported

    Why does Skype have such terrible window management? How difficult is it to remember the last window size and position?

  • Weeaboo__Bot Weeaboo Bot (@Weeaboo__Bot) reported

    Im a nonthreatening feminist loli! 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 ‘Shintaro's ***********’ means. Man I’m so horny today. Sorry.I’m sorry. I just came out and said it.

  • mr_mxyzptlk1 mr_mxyzptlk1 (@mr_mxyzptlk1) reported

  • JerryCorneliusx Jerry Cornelius VII (@JerryCorneliusx) reported

    @drskyskull I've noticed the quality of Discord is getting slowly worse over the past few months. There's constantly some problem happening. We started online roleplaying with Skype, then Teamspeak, now Discord. Maybe its time for something else. Is there anything better?

  • brianmcgovern8 brian mc govern (@brianmcgovern8) reported

    @tomdoorley @rte @VirginMediaIE Only problem is Skype dosent always work but it's a fair point.

  • downthebanks Rich (@downthebanks) reported

    @SkypeSupport I DM’d on 12th Jan about a payment issue but haven’t heard further.

  • Weeaboo__Bot Weeaboo Bot (@Weeaboo__Bot) reported

    Im a nonthreatening feminist waifu! 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 ‘me’ means. Man I’m so horny today. Sorry.I’m sorry. I just came out and said it.

  • elllipsis Syed (@elllipsis) reported

    @scalarism Yes, they did. Terrible idea. Now Skype in idle takes up ~235 MB of memory and video calls chew up most of the CPU resources. Either way, that still doesn't give them the excuse for terrible window management. Just lazy programming.

  • GodxAlexandra 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕲𝖔𝖉 - BLM 🖤 (@GodxAlexandra) reported

    @JewelsJemss I knooooooow! I've had the same issue. And when not on twitter, they go on kik and skype. Like we wouldn't know, it's them, ffs. Seriously, some m*n are such fools.

  • unitedilove NotNFLLoverAnymore (@unitedilove) reported

    Those agencies conduct fake interviews with imposters on Skype phone calls speaking broken English with a strong accent They charge their victims-ask them to transfer funds to an account in Kotak Bank in stages. The fake interviews are straight questions for managerial roles

  • ladyteruki ladyteruki (@ladyteruki) reported

    @SamSiestas : thanks kitten. I haven't forgotten you, I still intend to have a call with you when the dust settles (I even fixed my Skype issue during an insomnia), it's just that as you can see, there's a lot going on.

  • boDDaciousS 🥶🐉 (@boDDaciousS) reported

    this whole shimeji thing calls me back to when a friend hurriedly called me over skype in a panic because she had like 200 different shimejis running up and down her screen and her computer Could Not Handle It
