  • GanzoVEVO Ganzo (@GanzoVEVO) reported

    @FoxWithGuitar I remember hearing about Zoom and thinking "that is a terrible name for a video calling platform and we already have discord, skype, etc anyways, hopefully it doesn't catch on" And now that I've had to use it I hate it even more, god it has so many awful design decisions

  • AndColorPockeT 🦁 (@AndColorPockeT) reported

    @BabaBihari007 shared server means. Server whole team can access, he logged in his skype id on that server, now any team member can login to that server and read the chats he is having on Skype. Hope it clears. & you really are a buffoon , not for understanding tweet but for being oversmart.

  • stevemaybury SteveM (@stevemaybury) reported

    @markcduffell Switch the filter on! I'm pretty sure everyone else does that. Ashamed to say I joined the crowd. My issue comes when you move on to Teams or Skype and I look dog rough again.

  • FowlerThanEver Alexis Fowler (@FowlerThanEver) reported

    Telexfree was a Marlborough, MA based company that represented itself as a VOIP internet phone service, like Skype. It promoted free calls to Brazil and Latin America.

  • rodolfor Rodolfo Rosini ☕️✨ (@rodolfor) reported

    @christianmiccio mine moved to WhatsApp because Skype is terrible on mobile

    @AnaJusticia2 @TomiLahren Well one is factual the other you. Just got denied all.MEDICAL. HELP. THEY ALL WENT HOME. MOST DOCTORS. INCLUDING YOUR OWN GP. think about it. No one could go anywhere just a phone or skype. THAT WAS BAD MOVE. ALSO

  • tjohn6041 Tyler John (@tjohn6041) reported

    @Aviation_Intel That's more of a Chrome issue. It seizes pretty much all available resources. Does that on pretty much any computer. Teams and Skype are so other programs like that that just gobble your resources.

  • r_scrocca Victoria R Scrocca (@r_scrocca) reported

    However failing the test by hacking this non military grade encrypted phone and creating a WiFi network "FBI YO" - YO ESTUPIDO YOU ARE IN TROUBLE HOWEVER. SAME PERSON WHO USED SKYPE RAIDER TO HACK @Romarley who knows so VERY DANGEROUS & POINTLESS. NO NEGATIVITY ALLOWED NOR..

  • lydbloo Lydbloo#WeAreBeingMisled (@lydbloo) reported

    @darren_buckler @emmakennytv Is there no one on the end of a phone, Zoom, Skype? I know it’s not the same as a hug but it’ll help I’m sure. Give yourself a daily goal, definitely a daily walk please. Things have got to change, hold on as we the people will end this. Remember you’re not alone.

  • DebauCharade Debau (@DebauCharade) reported

    It has come to my attention that my new workplace requires me to use Skype. Life is terrible now

  • unlivelyblank mr krabs says **** (@unlivelyblank) reported

    @bieberstan17 my defining experience was early internet forums, flash animations and games, terrible youtube videos, and using skype unironically

  • Zwiffytv Zwiffy (@Zwiffytv) reported

    @Skype just 7 hours late on this got it fix by reinstall the entire pc. Not a fun thing when i have 10 pc at work that needs to be done like that.

  • KawaiiAlissa ☆ Alissa ☆ (@KawaiiAlissa) reported

    when you remember the password to your skype from years of trying to login to it and you see your old messages from your old friends from 2016....sorry Jake for tagging you in this i just wanted to say hi...and i miss you ~iiOmqNightQueen @RBX_SnapBloxPop

  • freudian_miss Janice Payne Witchtress (@freudian_miss) reported from Portland, Oregon

    @BackCindi I do offer that service through zoom/Skype or in person (with a mask).

  • chessninja Mig Greengard (@chessninja) reported

    I sent my Skype handle to a few of these youngsters and they were all, "Oh, I guess I can install that, no problem!" Felt like I'd sent them my fax number.

  • fiefdomoffelix Felix (@fiefdomoffelix) reported

    The job listing I applied to doesn't show in my LinkedIn history because it was probably taken down/reported. I got as far as messaging the "Senior Recruiter" on Skype. It took only 46 minutes for "the board" to decide on hiring me.

  • _Rbot_ Rooben.avi (@_Rbot_) reported

    Im in a skype call called actual Mishas please help me

  • LHolocron L'Holocron (@LHolocron) reported

    @CornaSIP @Aaron_Skyguy After years and years of waiting. Even that, Luke has to help her sister from '' THE BEGINNING '' not at the end and being killed because Force Skype. But that my point of view.

  • thatdirtyone2 naughtiophile (@thatdirtyone2) reported

    @RossThrobb ilu man, but the only way i can read this is "hey, if you want to ***** skype with me, lemme know." I'm the broken one here. I know.

  • rstrahs Rich Strahs (@rstrahs) reported

    @iamjondraper @DickVanKlondike If I still had a wrestling podcast you would be more than welcome to come on. Between Skype not working and work schedule and wrestling just sucking it wasn't worth it

  • TomGroganMdR Tom Grogan (@TomGroganMdR) reported

    @elanibuchan Agreed but think weather chat was replaced in 2020 by meaningless smalltalk around the quirks and issues with Zoom/Webex/Skype/Teams/Meets/[insert vc platform here].

  • tsuliman Tim Suliman NGS Gray Skull (@tsuliman) reported

    @andybudd I think it would help to have fewer apps to keep track of. I have email, Skype, Teams, phones, etc.
