    actually na erzet jud kaay ko sa Skype the other night. Like why wouldn't you recognize my login when i'm using the same computer? and now it's all okay?? After ruining my flow for my entire shift? *expletives*

    We will be at the mercy of CNA staff to help her keep it charged. She was averse to learning anything technology for years. Only use case is being able to call her Facetime. Skype is too complicated with too many small ui elements. Hard of hearing lip reader.

    @Carrenimfa Very true. I wish I could like this a thousand times! It’s a lot harder to screw people over after you sit down with them over lunch and shake their hands afterwards. Email, Zoom, Skype etc, they don’t see you as a real person.

  • Carly47316627 Carlene Drake-Brockman (@Carly47316627) reported

    The guys were okay/nice to his face, but when I talked to my ex on msn or skype or whatever, a day or two later, to thank him for hanging out and that it was a fun night.. I asked what he thought of my then bf. It had been like 3-4 years since we'd broken up by that point.

  • IamKylieWylie ɪɢ: ɪᴀᴍᴋʏʟɪᴇᴡʏʟɪᴇ (@IamKylieWylie) reported

    @MohauHlonyana We use Skype for meetings. It shows your online presence and how long you’re “away” for which is no movement on your P.C. =you’re not working so you need to work longer hours

  • doctor_cerulean Jasper Blues (@doctor_cerulean) reported

    @Skype My incoming number is not working. Callers in Australia are getting directed to the wrong number 😱

  • gilliezee Gillian Zinck (@gilliezee) reported

    @Bell_Aliant my mother is going in for surgery and will only be able to Skype with family because we can’t be there due to #Covid_19. I can’t get anyone at bell to allow her to add more data to her plan so she can do this. Can someone help please. #alone #pleasehelp

  • Storm11275 Curt Yowell (@Storm11275) reported

    @logantaylor05 Yes it does. I am willing to help you if you would accept my offering of help. Skype me at kd0honipad. Love you Logan.

  • WhatTheBit Stefan Constantine (@WhatTheBit) reported

    Seven minutes into the Windows Weekly podcast and they just announced they've ditched Skype and are now using an in-house webRTC solution. When a show dedicated to Microsoft ditches Skype, you know your product is terrible.

  • Goldengrimlock GoldenGrimlock (@Goldengrimlock) reported

    @chuggaaconroy As a Yugioh player I can sympathize with this. We have remote play, which you basically use Skype to show your board and there are official tournaments that way, along with unofficial ones on simulators, so we know what’s broken and thus expensive that way. But yeah, that sucks.

  • elias105 Elias Ventura (@elias105) reported

    And I know this problem isn’t just limited to education. I’ve heard the stories of coworkers in the private sector who make 6 figures who don’t know how to use Skype or let alone open up a pdf. And Gen z gets way too much credit for being tech literate.

  • BigAl51788067 Big Al (@BigAl51788067) reported

    @teddyschleifer @AlxThomp Meg Whitman? The quibi says were like, yesterday, and she’s a terrible business person - ruined HP, was lame at Quibi, and just coincidentally lucky at the helm of eBay. Oh and eBay buying Skype. HP buying autonomy, buying loudcloud... yech. Just bad.

    I’m trying to set up my Skype on my laptop so it’s just a million times better but can anyone help me with the settings n stuff I’m really struggling transferring from my phone to my laptop x

  • mikerossiii Mike Rossi (@mikerossiii) reported

    0th world problem: meeting with large companies & downloading their IT-selected Skype/Webex/Bluejeans/etc. only to trash it right after each call. Way less frustrating than getting on a plane ofc.

  • RyanMedinaX Ryan Medina (@RyanMedinaX) reported

    My company has taken us off Skype and switched us to @Microsoft teams full time. I am at about 25% on response rate because nobody knows when I have sent them an DM. Microsoft fix this please. We are all remote and nobody knows I'm talking to them. ARGH

  • dav_hamill David Hamill (@dav_hamill) reported

    Remember when Skype was a well-used verb. They shifted focus onto pointless social features rather than improving the quality of the service. Now we use Zoom.

  • atarothe atarothe (@atarothe) reported

    @hahcheupriv i dunno how much control he has but you guys can maybe try tjings like skype, i doubt she used that frequently enough for her ex to have tjat password. and if you want me to help you communicate with her once don't hesitate, i have 2 accs so i can completely get blocked on one

  • Th3PuffLif3 MyLittleBubble (@Th3PuffLif3) reported

    @snowwhitehogie My manager said progress report every hour...this is after you send your tasks broken down by the hour in the first 30 mins of your shift...and skype should always have you as online unless on lunch 🙄🙄🙄🙄

  • RainRainGoA_way Rain (@RainRainGoA_way) reported

    Job just told me I had to take #BLM down from my Skype "What's Happening Today?". Mind you it has been there for a LONG while. Seems odd that after speaking to HR about the #covid BILL #AB1867 they are NOT following. My sup is asked if I no called no showed on a vacation day and

    Im a nonthreatening feminist boy, come talk to me on Skype! talk to me on skype about your problems as a woman i sympathize i’m taking womens studies. I took women’s studies I know what ‘systematic’ means.

  • TimWeisberg Tim Weisberg (@TimWeisberg) reported

    @tiredoframen Something with his speakers,I think. We had some Skype issues before the show so we didn't get to sound check before we went live.

  • adriansghost adri (@adriansghost) reported

    i have a consultation scheduled for march! there was actually an opening for the 3rd (tomorrow) but i had classes and wouldve had some issues with that anyway. waiting on that confirmation email but now i gotta make a skype ig

  • Ladylib505 Lexi (@Ladylib505) reported

    After getting talked over multiple times on a call and confirming that the issue was the platform I have firmly decided Google meets is not the way to go. Can we please go back to Skype?? What happened to Skype??

  • NonTrotski Woney For Nothing (@NonTrotski) reported

    @takkun169 @Smasher390 They would if they thought it would be worth the money but they actually tried doing a lot of those things with the Wii U (it even had its own Free Skype-type Service built in!) and no one cared

  • Tophamt Tracy Topham (@Tophamt) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. I was just on a call with an agent (Clement) while he upgraded my broadband. I was on Skype and got cut-off during the call due to the instant upgrade. I wanted to thank him for his excellent customer service and apologise for being cut off. Thank you!

  • weswardsunlight sunlight (@weswardsunlight) reported

    @JupiterXO_ And come rub one out on Skype? That ain’t no problem.

  • JapersRink Japers’ Rink (@JapersRink) reported

    @ummohheythere We moved from Skype to Teams a couple of months ago and it's just terrible in every way.
