    And RIP my laptop’s audio capabilities too since the broken part of my earphones is stuck inside. I guess I’ll just have to do Skype calls on my phone , and only watch movies on my phone.

  • KimBea Kimberly Bea (@KimBea) reported

    This weekend I have two dance classes, a Zoom meeting, and Skype meeting, and a movie I'm supposed to watch for the Zoom meeting. Trying to squeeze in at least 6 hours #revision around those things. Two down already!

  • Sannimoon Sandymun (@Sannimoon) reported

    Hi @SkypeSupport, on Feb 4th my credit (4 USD) was inactivated. I received an email indicating that I could reactivate it at any time. Today I tried to do it, but appears "You don't have Skype credit to reactivate". Please can you help me to recover the balance I had? Thanks

    @ffsJuliaa oh my god i wonder if i even remember my skype login

  • gonfva Gonzalo Fernandez (@gonfva) reported

    Do you remember Yahoo Pipes? MobuzzTV? How Google was bringing voice and audio and seemed it was going to destroy Skype (and failed to destroy Skype despite the terrible product it is)?

  • skrill Skrill (@skrill) reported

    @TazmanSalisu NB! Skrill will never ask you for your account credentials via Skype or Social networks. Only enter your login details on the genuine Skrill site and mobile apps.

  • ElrondGaming 𝔈𝔩𝔯𝔬𝔫𝔡 𝔊𝔞𝔪𝔦𝔫𝔤 (@ElrondGaming) reported

    @JezCorden There are some companies still use Skype, Internet Explorer, and other ancient services. For that reason, it is hard to remove a service in a short notice.

  • heathernew09 Heather New (@heathernew09) reported

    @codemonkey_jack Maybe this changed when they shut down skype for business and they integrated with microsoft teams?

  • jpbutler Jason Butler (@jpbutler) reported

    @simonowens @serendeputy I look forward to the integration with Skype. "You appear to be having trouble with vlookup. Would you like a live 15-minute consult within the next 10 minutes? Buy now for only $95."

  • JUstMove92 Christian (@JUstMove92) reported

    @ElrondGaming @JezCorden "Skype for Business Online End of Life is officially July 31, 2021. This means that effective after that date, the service will no longer be accessible. While those who currently use SfB-O will not be affected immediately, it does mean the days are numbered."

    @jameswarfield @mkruz @Will_Humphrey Yes. At one point I had email, Slack, and MS Teams, and one manager who still sent me Skype messages because they hadn’t fully shut it down yet.

  • bobafettishWoW Nigel Cox (@bobafettishWoW) reported

    So news stories are appearing on bad posture due to zoom meetings etc. Yet every zoom/Skype interview has a guest looking down at the camera monitor Simple tip use old text books old phone books anything to support the weight of the monitor so you are now looking straight ahead.

  • ritalinabuser d💸 (@ritalinabuser) reported

    @GarbageEgirl Skype had all of these issues but just way worse, and you can at least hear the other person in discord

  • ryukkeybot Ryukkey DoraBot (@ryukkeybot) reported

    I said to my class, good job, #Skype, the world's biggest IM app is still one of the most broken.

  • masternight2010 Edwin Garcia (@masternight2010) reported

  • HarveyJ383 John H. Harvey ( not 😎) (@HarveyJ383) reported

    @bcanini @MrMichaelBurkes Help how ? He doesn’t control state funds. Abbott does. He can’t send FEMA. Biden does that. Any ideas or requests could have been done via Zoom or Skype.

  • w4rlock Muscled Horde Tattoo Guy (@w4rlock) reported

    Just finished a Skype call and I had Chrome with a few Twitter windows open in the background. Everything was sluggish, took 60 seconds to end! For some reason, Chrome was eating 37gb of memory, according to Activity Monitor. Wtf, Chrome?!?! Clean up your memory caching issues!

  • jakehuneycutt Jake Huneycutt (@jakehuneycutt) reported

    @jmhorp I've done job interviews with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, and Google Hangouts. Skype is easily the worst. It's just such a pain. (Google Hangouts is also pretty terrible.)

  • RaaachelClarke Rachel 🌸 (@RaaachelClarke) reported from Dunstable, England
