  Hi, @EposVox you have been a huge supporter of @Skype NDI and I really liked the idea. Do you know if it is in active development. I had some weird latency issues. Especially with audio - the latency which kept changing during the stream.

  @HHShkMohd Great? But how about the communication issues which remote employees would face? The restrictions on Skype etc.

  @Sharon_SnowJade Teams seems pretty terrible for video stuff esp. if you want to see Teams docs/chat at same time. Zoom/Skype - ok. BlueJeans - defunct? LogMeIn - not sure yet. Then add the random assortment for lectures/conference... so many!!!

  @JezCorden @Hunter4J @XcloudTimdog Skype will be integrated into Discord over time. Doesn’t Skype offer a phone service? What’s that customer base world wide? Anyone know..

  @4Most_gg @DarkMorningGam1 @NextGenPlayer Just to pick a couple from your list, movie maker still exists in windows 10, windows Skype for business? Sounds like microsoft teams to me, minecraft earth never took off, why fund a game that's losing money, same with windows phone and kinect, sales go down, company stops sale

  @JustMissEmma When this bullshit is over, have you thought about having hypnotherapy to help control the pain etc? It could help you control these symptoms. Actually maybe you could Skype someone now. It's a thought.

  @fjm1947 @BuzzPatterson I’m retired now. I was halfway thru a 23 year career when email became a thing. I deployed a bunch. By my third deployment or so I was able to Skype with my kids. Game changer. But also brings its problems. Spouses find out about injuries and such within minutes.

  @Hunter4J @XcloudTimdog Skype is baked into Microsoft Teams which is very successful. But Discord has just overtaken the service at a fundamental quality level that Skype can't match.

  @firemasterpug @lesbianchongyun @takakinnie because twitter thinks all problems in society could be solved if jacob.minecraft.2013 on skype spoke up about the thing he knows nothing about for his 3 followers

  Luke Butterfield (@criscoglade) reported 51 minutes ago

  Some nights he would Skype family and cry for their help. Other nights after the lights had been turned off, I could hear him sobbing / sniffling while lying in bed. He had no friends. Eventually this became too much for me and I asked my advisor to be moved somewhere else.

  in 2011 microsoft bought skype and put an end to the last major p2p encrypted chat until the advent of stuff like signal. then in 2012 google bought and killed meebo, the last multi-platform im service, forcing everyone onto a single platform (skype, ironically)

  Anne 04/2013 ex-CHRO Skype said keep her updated; heard how treated at King by Execs ie CEO & Advisers, witnessed at Skype 2010/11. Post Skype I go to Sardinia; clear RZ CEO knew, how? Went with Mhairi Watson (ex-KPMG at RBS); her behaviour odd. 2013 she lied about me; help them.

  @NadeenYousef how come! Teams is great in all aspects, maybe you have a poor internet connection, cuz i couldn't find any issues dealing with it, about the full screen issue, maybe i didn't face because i have a 2 screens setup, but Skype is literally horrible, specially when it comes to chats

  Felt like it'd been a few weeks since I talked to one group of friends, so I set up a movie night and log in to our Skype group and it turns out the last time we spoke was six months ago and now I am Down Bad

  @Hunter4J @XcloudTimdog I have no issues with that. Skype is obsolete, its time has passed I think. They'd be much better off making good use of discord (hopefully)
