    @Nateyicelight I’m down for a feedback brainstorm session. Skype or Zoom or something. Holla @convplan

  • stephent122 Stephen Townsley (@stephent122) reported from Walker Gate, England

    If #Apple brought #imessage to #Android it would close down any new #google #rcs play overnight. Might even kill #skype and others. @TechAltar

  • 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.

  • syamean S Y A M I N (@syamean) reported from Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur

    Okey. Skype issue resolved. 3rd interview with CMO this Rabu. Moga I managed to fulfill the expectations.

  • MissThelma___ Sweet Treats by Thelma🧁🍸🍮 (@MissThelma___) reported from Ibadan, Oyo State

    Skype bank amala service always piss me off.😡 But I must buy/ chop this amala today 😁

  • HuskerFox Heckles H. Hyena (@HuskerFox) reported from Montréal, Québec

    @leimlion Yeah I just installed it for some fun. Bringing back memories. It's the only thing I could ever use again since Microsoft locked me out of my own Hotmail account and refused to let me back in unless I paid for a subscription service. I lost access to my Skype & Messenger.

  • joanmarie000 Joan Marie (@joanmarie000) reported from Antioch, California

    @BiancaZapater Reception is horrible here...my husband and I can't FaceTime or Skype They are putting up a new cell tower soon which should help

  • 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.

  • NikhilAgrawal44 Nikhil Agrawal ✌️ (@NikhilAgrawal44) reported from Kantābānji, State of Odisha

    We have tried contacting the reviews to ask if we can check his system via Skype or other to identify the problem but with no help. Even big companies sometimes needs to check the users system to identify the problem.

  • HonorclubDan DannYEET (@HonorclubDan) reported from Dana, North Carolina

    @MsCortneyJean @annemariebearr @CUTTlNGEDGE We’re all screwed. God help Matt if he really does show up on Skype

  • 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

  • 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.

  • nfpa70e Hugh Hoagland (@nfpa70e) reported from Prospect, Kentucky

    Be careful switching to Teams from a normal phone system. @Microsoft BROKE our Skype for business call queues and we have to pay $80 per month for licenses for CALL QUEUES until they fix it in July. VERY poor implementation.

  • monkchips Henry Counter-Manspread (@monkchips) reported from Hackney, England

    if i was the @Windows team i'd be telling the @Skype team to fix their app and stop hurting overall system performance, not making it harder to turn the app off. please don't @ me if your clever solution to my problem is for me to not use windows.

  • Zethu1119 𝖅𝖊𝖊 (@Zethu1119) reported from Johannesburg, Gauteng

    @Chef_Lelo @dTumza @MorolongZA @MsLishia Skype what, Live on Twitter what if we can't login on time. 🤔🤔🤔

  • AZiemak Amy Z. (@AZiemak) reported from Cleveland Heights, Ohio

    Skype won’t work, google calendar is dead, and my office WiFi is down. I think it’s time to leave. It’s basically a matter of national security at this point.

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

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

  • AvivShalit Aviv Shalit (@AvivShalit) reported from Richmond Hill, Ontario

    @buzzthecat1 I don't know yet, probably not. It's fine though as a practice run. They had technical problems with their Skype from the start, and as it was a Tuesday 8:30am, no time to fix them. I met with an agency on Thursday, uploaded a higher quality resume.

  • 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 😁

  • JohnBra42849174 John Bradford (@JohnBra42849174) reported from Worcester, Massachusetts

    @tomsendeavour @greg_ip @WSJ I cannot remember my Microsoft account login Maine they keep asking me my Skype name I don't have Skype from John Bradford

  • JamieB226 Jamie Booth (@JamieB226) reported from Grayson, Georgia

    I've wanted this for soooo long. One of two major issues I have with Teams vs Skype.

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

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

  • Sassmaster_ArtJ a paper crane on the telephone 🐙💕🇵🇭🏳️‍🌈 (@Sassmaster_ArtJ) reported from Las Vegas, Nevada

    discord is bloatware and Skype won't let me look up old conversations anymore why are they both terrible I need an alternative

  • 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.

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

    1 of our 3 weekly meetings of the Skype based problem gambling support group is today at 5pm eastern. Message Jeff or I for more info or to be added. #Recovery #stigmafree #stigmafighter #lastbet051208

  • 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

  • Phelim_Owusu Phelim_Owusu (@Phelim_Owusu) reported from Accra, Greater Accra Region

    @thenanaaba If they don't take care we would even relocate them to a smaller one and cut the numbers down... Those who don't get space can join via conference phones and Skype 🙄

  • 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.

  • xxxcharlieboyx1 Charlie RawDIXXX [4.5k] (@xxxcharlieboyx1) reported from Brooklyn, New York

    @francticallyden I don’t have skype, nor a laptop but I’m definitely down to meet up

  • josephheenan Joseph H (@josephheenan) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @robdylan Agree that they’re late to the game, but I think the majority of apps I currently use only support first party login: Skype, Facebook, Reddit, slack, bbc. I guess it depends on the size of user base - the decision probably disproportionately affects smaller apps.
