Random thought: I’d be a terrible actress. Thank god I sit at a desk 12 hours a day where my emotions are only expressed, not by my face, but by my Skype chat emoticons.

@jasonmashak Sounds like a conflict between system settings and an app. If aligning the two settings, or allowing one to rule them all, doesn't help, the culprit is almost certainly a poorly written app. Never had issues with Skype/ForBusiness but Webex was a major PITA.

@deonandan Bad lighting, weird backgrounds, sound problems, not knowing how to upload official event backgrounds or how to share Powerpoint slides without sharing their whole screen. Also, some people have trouble with Zoom because they don't use it often or have been using Skype/Teams.

@whitequark there was that kind of brief period in the late 2000's where you could login to facebook messenger, google chat etc via XMPP. Even up to 2015 I was logging in to Lync/Skype for Business with pidgin which worked well for chat

"oops something went wrong" has to be the most pathetically useless error message I've ever seen. Sort it out, skype.

Today for me isn't about TV or Wordpress. It's about Whatsapp, Instagram and Skype. I need proper rest. 4 years this ************ was up on me every single second with this ******* excuse of putting America First. I put my American connections first a whole lot. Gotta fix that.

@ske7ch Yeah you guys are all Skype. ;) Kidding. This is getting very common. I have to deal with tracking it down occasionally and we’re not even remotely as attractive a contractor as 343.

Can anyone help w/ my @Skype settings? Because I'm ready to snap! The text, and my contacts are now so small I can barely read them. I hold down control & tap plus and NOTHING! I accidentally clicked on the wrong screen & minimized this POS to the point where it's unreadable!

@PeeBeeJayBee yeah here teaching uses Teams, admin uses Blackboard Collaboration, HR uses skype for business, colleagues use Zoom. zoom seems to be the most trouble-free of the lot, though at this point I don't know if that's saying much

@MedusaBaked I’m so sorry sweetie. My dad issues messed me up to. He died 3 years ago. Never made an effort to even call me. a year before he died family members set up a Skype so we could finally meet in some form...he was more interested in my daughters than me. I guess I was ok with that

@WrestlingClio is it consistent? I’ve had that on Skype before and usually the problem is fixed by hanging up and reconnecting

Was there a reason to fly Emily Maitlis to Washington to sit outside and do Skype interviews? Not a funding issue but a pandemic issue.#NewsNight

Face it, you’re not working from home, you’re moving the mouse every five minutes to stop Skype turning yellow.

Discord is, by a wide margin, the most confusing chat app I've ever used. And that's saying something, since there are quite a lot of them out there that have all kinds of weird quirks and issues, including Hangouts, Apple Messages, Skype, etc.
