  • willowbotanics Ruth ☀️♓-🌙♍-☝️♌ (@willowbotanics) reported

    @suebeesley @GardeningGolfer Is Skype connected to, or owned by, Google? Because all Google sites and programs, including things like Youtube, have crashed worldwide today. It is a huge outage. Maybe this is somehow linked?

  • GNious G 🚷 (@GNious) reported

    @SiggiGG While eg 56kbit/s is enough for ca lossless voice, there's the video feed from the host, and a kid remote-schooling with class, and some one watching 4K Netflix ... And neighbours all doing the same, killing the ISP Skype etc sucks (banned a decade ago), but issue is everything

  • ediglobal EDI Global (@ediglobal) reported

    Due to the global outage of Google Services, EDI Global's email and supporting services are currently down. We hope that google will have this issue resolved soon but until then please feel to contact us and our team via Twitter, Skype or LinkedIn #googledown

  • suebeesley Sue Beesley🌱 (@suebeesley) reported

    Can anyone assist with a Skype set up issue. It wants an email address. But the one I use (the only one I have) is a work email it won't accept it. I don't want another one. Am I stuck?

    @GNious Yeah lately for work we're using MS Team which is ok most of the time, and since Skype is so terrible I'm now using Facebook Messenger video chat with my family in Iceland.. I don't know of a better alternative there :/

  • ajjeys Jeys A J (@ajjeys) reported

    @Telstra Hi, how is that only Video call apps are not working on your internet over NBN - FTTP. WhatsApp, Skype, Teams, Webex are all having connectivity issues even though the internet speed is 100Mbps?

    Discord AND google broken... *goes back to skype*

  • iamdaisyalice Daisy - BLM (@iamdaisyalice) reported

    Google, YouTube, Microsoft and Skype are all down... I feel like the Internet is giving us an early Christmas break? 🙏

  • SiggiGG Sigurdur Gunnarsson (@SiggiGG) reported

    Is that simply because of it being a free service, being especially overloaded this year? It feels to me none of them have really worked well, especially Skype.

  • TrafficSeven Traffic Seven 🌍😷😷😷😷😷 (@TrafficSeven) reported

    Does anyone know how to contact @SkypeSupport ? They don't reply to regular emails nor messages here, on Twitter. Clearly, some processes here need fixing. We can help with that but that's another story... we would need this issue to be addressed properly. Thank you.

  • MikeHypercube Mike Bennett (@MikeHypercube) reported

    Skype is irretrievably broken. Not only does it let people make ringing noises on your PC and telephone (yes, with the Skype logo in the window) but it lets there be no record of them having done so, for you to block them.

  • K3n_Munene Ken Munene (@K3n_Munene) reported

    Help! New colleague keeps addressing me as Poh Geok in email correspondence and over Skype.

  • BoiLeftist LeftistSadBoi (@BoiLeftist) reported

    @CSpace1990 What do you mean by forfeit? Is he cowardly backing down behind the scenes, or is he not willing to use Skype or whatever? Or something in between?

  • NightieTime Nightie ✈ (@NightieTime) reported

    @icewindow @Alchypon @Minty_Root Skype has pretty much copied Teams' infra and watered down the UI a bit
