    OK my 2019 MPB gets one last chance. I upgraded to Big Sur. Let's hope it performs better after - again - being unable to Skype today. If it's not working I swear I throw it out the window

  • ricsofttvk Richard (@ricsofttvk) reported

    @SKYserves what's with the restricted service? Unable to connect to Skype, a lot of websites and apps not loading. Works fine if I enable VPN. Please fix ASAP, it's greatly affecting my work. No reply to my DM as well.

  • StacyRalph2 Stacy Ralph (@StacyRalph2) reported

    @tommangan @LSchmitt_TAAWTS Yes, I’ve seen it which is why I turned down staff offers. Global companies I freelanced for had meetings scheduled with teams in Singapore, Spain, etc., staff had to attend via Skype at all hours. I got paid for my extra time. They got same raise and crappy bonus every year.

    The expat experience is calling customer service via Skype.

  • EE EE (@EE) reported

    @Tent_Peg and make sure you're not left feeling like you're paying for a service that you're not receiving. They're available on 150 from an EE line, 0800 079 8586 from any other line or on 00448000798586 via Skype. (2/2) -Tom

  • subiectiv Alex (@subiectiv) reported

    Hey Mac people, got an issue with my LG Ultrafine camera, it stopped appearing in facetime/skype/etc. options after some macOS update. Display and sound work fine, no webcam though. “sudo killall VDCAssistant” doesn’t fix it. Any ideas? cc @AppleSupport

  • Ursus2600 Ursus (@Ursus2600) reported

    @Microsoft Instead of an apology for the #Teams outage, can you provide a on premise solution for a Hybrid approach? I want to switch from Skype for business, but it is hard to migrate to a cloud service that has an annual outage without a failover solution. #HybridCloud

  • DuskyPinkBloss PinkCherryBlossom (@DuskyPinkBloss) reported

    @adamfare1996 Completely understandable! They need to seriously look at their lack of staff; that is not your problem. You should definitely be offered something OOA. Would you be able to access help over Skype etc?

  • BobbyBrizzle Bobby Brizzle (@BobbyBrizzle) reported

    @TheGreatKaitsu Back during Skype Era S*ndy had used that word in a private call when referring to Natii when I told her I wasnt interested in her and was dating Natii. She called her that word and at the time I didnt know it was even derrogatory until later down the road so it *is* possible.

    Three separate people can call me at once at work with Skype, Microsoft Teams and my phone. I LOVE that for me. Perfect system, no issues.

    4, 12/13 years ago in the early days of Spotify, there literally was no one we could get advice from apart from the folks at Skype, however @nzennstrom and co were busy building a competing music service of their own called Rdio.

    Help @Skype ! My account isn’t working.

  • Ebdulmomen1 Ebdulmomen Ahmed (@Ebdulmomen1) reported

    @shkoagha In my experience Skype has been very inconsistent, it’s riddled with network connectivity and database connection issues, it used to be the best though, but these days i don’t really think it is anywhere near zoom or google meet
