    @LithiumBluesVA Discord only because you can do so many things on Discord (Game, Chat, Send group messages & private messages, etc.) & it won't freeze up easily. Skype (much like Zoom) has a lot of connection issues at times.

    @mattboydsmith I’ve been at conferences in the Before Times where we had presenters join their panels via Skype. It wasn’t ideal, but it did let people present their work when they couldn’t be physically present (because of visa problems, family emergencies, or just blizzards).

  • ALL4S3R3NAB ⛓ ***** boy collector ⛓ (@ALL4S3R3NAB) reported

  • Krypteia8 Krypteia (@Krypteia8) reported

    @WOW_WAY Cant do either, also in SE MI and service has been dogshit for a week. No, restarting my router will not help with packet loss and jitter, fix your infrastructure. Dropping Teams/Skype calls for work, not a good look. Looking into Comcast due to no acknowledgement of larger issue

  • AyoCaesar Ash Sarkar (@AyoCaesar) reported

    @bbcradioulster, I'm very sorry but my phone is broken! Would it be possible to Skype for interview instead?

  • SyZionAurifex Bobby B 🇨🇦 (@SyZionAurifex) reported

    The monotone crowd noise needs to go away, as well as the laggy Skype screens they put all over the walls. Don’t fix **** that ain’t broken. #NBAAllStar

  • wickym ⚜️ ***** Ginger ⚜️ (@wickym) reported

    @BLeeForCongress The day after I locked down (a year ago today, actually), someone here DMd me and we’ve been as inseparable as two people can be from 8900 miles apart ever since. Video Skype every single day. He’s in Australia and hasn’t had the same fear I’ve had, so he’s kept me sane.

    @kuns_dimples LOL THEY DON'T CALL ME 40 TABS FOR NOTHING. (I was in Skype call one time trying to help search for something and I exited out of 40 incognito tabs so all anyone heard was NOOOOOOOO! MY 40 TABS) yrs later, I've still only half learned my lesson. XD

    My workplace has just switched from Skype to Teams and I'm ragin that they don't have the balaclava emoji anymore. I'm 5'0 with anxiety and the sort of face that teenagers and tourists alike ask for help, how am I meant to pretend to be intimidating now?
