Skype Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ChurchillCanine CAD Dog (@ChurchillCanine) reported

    This lockdown has made me very abrupt on ending calls. When on a Teams, phone or Skype call, as soon I say bye the first time, I hang up. No time to dilly dally. I've got **** that needs doing and I'm not working overtime.

  • carissadraws Carissa Renard (Looking for Work) (@carissadraws) reported

    @shmagney @AGuyWhoDraws Nah they put the nail in the coffin on east coast animation when Disney shut down the Florida studio. Probably thought it was ‘too hard’ to run two studios from different locations. Maybe back then it was but now we have zoom and Skype so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • InsolLawMan Mike Pavitt 💙 (@InsolLawMan) reported

    @paulddp Yes we don’t use Skype except for hearings. Years of chronic underinvestment in the courts service have left it only just functional outside the major centres and it is only adaptable up to a point.

  • RLfcj96 Rach730Lfc (@RLfcj96) reported

    @BBCNews Sadly, its probably higher. This lockdown has, has made the very vulnerable (9-18) fractured. I hope and pray that this figure doesnt rise again. Why 9, some are exposed as this Theseneed help now. Its a zoom/telegraph/snap/Skype with a support worker obv following the laws

  • function_1st Function_1st (@function_1st) reported

    What I hate about @Skype is when I start it, it always launches in the tray even when launched from Start. Then I must click its tray icon to show it. It should only load in the tray if loading at startup, but otherwise show its full window. FIX THIS PLEASE.

  • DrMKuisma Mikko Kuisma (@DrMKuisma) reported

    @JarMa76 That was my own initial feeling too but the patterns are too clear. With our previous really bad DSL connection I had rarely problems and with the new fibre optic it started well but in the last week this has happened with every meeting whether in Zoom/Skype...

  • iambhadz18 b. 🍹 (@iambhadz18) reported

    I tried using @PLDTHome and poof, I can now join to Skype calls and use online tools for my jobs. So, this is to confirm that the issue is with @SKYserves 😢😢

  • tynolisrel Tino (@tynolisrel) reported

    @SkypeSupport the recent updates you made are buggy in the last 48 hours i have not been able to make calls, fix this!!!

  • beckara Rebecca (@beckara) reported

    Whenever Skype asks me to rate my call quality, I can't help but feel like I'm rating the "goodness level" of the conversation I just had with whomever I'm talking to....and not, you know, how much the video froze.

  • SpigetReviews Review Simulator (@SpigetReviews) reported

    @jeonfolks HELP IS THAT SKYPE

  • darth_na Lyndon NA (Darth Autocrat) (@darth_na) reported

    @PerplexedSeal @AddyPottle But those would be external. Apparently, things like Skype have captioning, that's "live". But no one seems able to tell me how it works/looks for a number of participants (which is the major issue)

  • 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.

  • Lucy_NAVCA Lucy Straker (@Lucy_NAVCA) reported

    Somebody somewhere once said Skype in my general direction and now every time I turn on my laptop it tries to login. No Skype, no. Go over there and play with MySpace and Friends Reunited.

  • WhatJayDidNext Jay (@WhatJayDidNext) reported

    @JamesMelville What flew way below the radar was Hancock’s statement to the house (months ago) saying henceforth GP consultations should be carried out by phone or Skype. Heaven help the vulnerable and elderly x

  • MistressEnvy3 Mistress Envy (@MistressEnvy3) reported

    If my initial is too high for you, that's a problem for you, not me. You can send less and be ignored Available for sessions and **** rates #FinD #KIK PALOMAENVY #SKYPE

    @SKYserves Did this several time. As I can hear in my mind, have you tried to turning it off and on again. No changes. Skype calls is not working as well as using tools to scrape website data which is important to my job. 😢😭
