  • MichaelKillian1 Michael Killian (@MichaelKillian1) reported

    @guardian Photos of them meeting again🙄 They were on the phone, maybe not even Skype. She has no power to make major concessions and he is incapable of detail. Nothing new will happen. Fishing is just a fig leaf for real conflict on much larger issues. Two visions of economy and culture.

    @XboxP3 @majornelson @Xbox I'm begging at this point for Microsoft to reconsider enabling the Kinect for Skype use on the Xbox Series X via USB adapter. During this pandemic shutting down the Kinect camera to call family members is the wrong thing to do. #Kinect4Skype Please.

    @OwenJones84 Not to say this *isn't* a Virgin Media problem, but have you had Skype running on a system which hasn't turned off in a while? It could be a memory leak?

  • GoddessJyy Goddess Jessica (@GoddessJyy) reported

    Having trouble with getting on Skype. I’m reachable by phone/text on Niteflirt

  • zilevandamme Phumzile Van Damme (@zilevandamme) reported

    Microsoft Teams, like Skype for Business, collects three types of data about the app: what it calls census data, usage data, and error reporting data.

  • LoDawg17 Lo-Dawg (@LoDawg17) reported

    @NorthernlionLP Discord really did end what Skype had going. On one hand it's sad to see a pretty useful app die, but on the other hand... Discord is a really great service

  • ThatCubeGamer Cube 💫 (@ThatCubeGamer) reported

    @JustLemres oh my god I forgot about skype even through I’m reminded of it literally anytime discord goes down

  • emilylhauser Emily L. Hauser אלה אסתר (@emilylhauser) reported

    I've been reading to my mom over Skype; when her beloved cousin called today, I cribbed from @JasonIsbell & told him "I'm not sure what it's like to be in that slow-motion minute between living & dead, but I think maybe hearing your daughter's voice must help." I sure hope so.

  • GinZero83 Zero_83 (@GinZero83) reported

    @SkypeSupport Going on to a full month STILL waiting for help. @Skype Please, is there ANYONE willing to actually help me?

  • mgnxevrything M says Wear a Mask (@mgnxevrything) reported

    @summerforever21 Ugh I'm so sorry. That must be so difficult. I hope you can at least Skype or video chat with them to help! I've been missing everyone so much but it's such a long time. 😞

  • dee_grizzley black women deserve justice. (@dee_grizzley) reported

    @Hollywood_Here if we have issues trying to connect for the actual meeting, is there a way to connect to you all? (ex. the Skype ID doesn’t work or something of that nature) #raisethepercentage

    @addicted2newz Skype connection gone down cutting that ****** Owen Jones off in mid flow

  • pseudonymous_me pseudonymous_me (@pseudonymous_me) reported

    For some reason I'm having trouble with #Skype. The test call works, and messages to other skype accounts seems to work. But I'm not able to connect when I try to call phones. Is it just me?

  • loonatheradio 🌟 Radio Orbit 🌟 (@loonatheradio) reported

    Not me forgetting that the mic on my phone is broken... LOL I wonder if they take skype calls.

  • AgnesOfTheDogs Agnes (@AgnesOfTheDogs) reported

    I’m in a professional development class via Skype and it’s a guy telling war stories. I *hate* it when instructors do this. Stories are great for illustration, but I don’t need 15 minutes on how this guy’s company solved analysis problem X. 😖😖😖😖😖

  • ShadowsWhiskers Shadow's Whiskers (@ShadowsWhiskers) reported

    @TeddyB_cat Oh dear Teddy, I worry so much about my pals in the US with the ever increasing cases. Ours our increasing too I was listening to a weekly Canadian call-in radio program and almost all callers said they were going to Zoom or Skype. I wondered if this will slow down the Internet.
