  • JulianWoodhouse Julian Woodhouse (@JulianWoodhouse) reported

    @timClicks What I have used: We ex, Skype, Skype for business, Google hangouts, ms teams, slack, zoom,... Of those webex was probably my preferred option, but catered for the problem space especially professional environment. Not sure how good slack recording is (or if its and option)

  • Karawith3kids Kara (@Karawith3kids) reported

    @jameshamblin @DrJenGunter I haven’t left my house since 12/23. I am right now trying to see how long I can stretch that shower from 1/2. My pajama pants can walk on their own and my boss gave me a kudos for brushing my hair before our Skype call. I need help. But I did not infect anyone today. Go me!

  • BarringtonBobb The Butcher of Necropolis (@BarringtonBobb) reported

    @callunavulgarr i'm just weighing one of my laptop's keys down so my work skype status doesn't change to 'away'

  • TroyGreerAcctg Troy Greer (@TroyGreerAcctg) reported

    @cogecohelps Internet outage in Peterborough, Ontario. Getting very limited access some moments, no access other moments. For instance, the Skype app on my computer is working but I can't load any webpages in my browser.

  • Mikejr2803 Mike 🇾🇪 (@Mikejr2803) reported

    @TommyGormanMUFC Tbh mate the moneys not the main issue for me, it’s the fact that they expect the same standard of work from a glorified Skype call and the constant neglect from the government since the start

  • TBarbarise Indigo 🌼 Child of 79' (@TBarbarise) reported

    @Chris_arnade I was in Skype last night I waited I told Tito to relax he frustrated you guys don’t help s not money but advocating for my story! I’m just telling you... you say ur brother is ill I’m sincerely sorry bout that tho your post are just that posts and Why is responding to me differ

  • ToBeWorked Lockdown Dan (@ToBeWorked) reported

    @JoeAribo_FI Login details? Na check they’re registered on SRA first. That’s their regulator. Then offer to send email PDF’s of deposits etc... if they say they need to verify it then you can do a skype call, share your screen and let them verify it digitally. There are ways around it

  • gildy61 Random Jottings of Gildersleeve (@gildy61) reported

    @Nannifer60 Paperwork is missing because of tidying. I was thinking should I ask for a delay. But if I am giving up why bother. A friend is willing to try and help but I can't do Skype or install What's App. Which I would have to do.

  • DLo0109 DaniLo (@DLo0109) reported

    @Microsoft @Skype Why don’t you offer AR filter for your video option - would help to come on camera more often during business meetings. Not only background matters ;)

  • ruchika83 Ruchika (@ruchika83) reported

    @SkypeSupport I need to delete my Skype account. How is it that there is no such option on the app? Please help shut the account.

  • janashortal janashortal (@janashortal) reported

    Yo anyone at @Xfinity know about an outage in South Minneapolis ? All the Zoom went boom since 9:30 AM. All the Skype went yikes. No go over here.

  • badgertron2011 Stuart Quinton (@badgertron2011) reported

    @sternejohn @NadiaWhittomeMP Games console is not equal to a PC. Can play fortnight on both, but can't even run skype properly on a console. It's a software/firmware issue. However your newer android/iPhone can access the software to access educational resource.

  • McCartneylass Kim M (@McCartneylass) reported

    @sandibachom You Skype me embarrassed for harassing someone drinking coffee nowhere near you. You aren't the mask police. Then to go off calling people names because they posted a video about your crazy behavior? You're the one who needs help.

  • MaximumWWOrder Urban Wrestling Podcast (@MaximumWWOrder) reported

    @Boricua_dondada brother check your Skype. Other account got shut down too #BHITB

  • runningvlog Ijaz Movies🐋 (@runningvlog) reported

    Elgato wave 3 had issues with Skype. If I can’t resolve it in a day I might return it @elgato

  • Maiefya 🖤It is what it is عافية✊🏾🏁 (@Maiefya) reported

    @virginmedia The usual white blank light. Once i restart/reset the booster the issue reaolves itself. I cannot continue to do that since i am multitasking /attending various conferences via skype/Teams/zoom. Hopefully the rest of my day goes smoothly. And no this is not an internal issue!

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

    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.

  • _Rbot_ Rooben.avi (@_Rbot_) reported

    Im in a skype call called actual Mishas please help me

  • soulstealer_hs Code: Soulstealer 🇧🇬 (@soulstealer_hs) reported

    @BeasPredator I had the same problem, but after contacting them on Skype they fixed it in like 15min

  • sparky_ebooks Sparky ebooks (@sparky_ebooks) reported

    Terrible synching messages aren't going through Skype...

  • spicedrum b (@spicedrum) reported

    Haven't had skype since before xmas. Helpdesk has been trying to fix it. Can't. Doing an Office reset. It's frozen and won't download the update because my internet is ****** because @tmobile sucks.

  • MarilynSarelas Marilyn Sarelas #ResistTotalitarianism (@MarilynSarelas) reported

    @CassandraAhearn @LRJ023 Ruthie sounds like a rapid cycling manic depressive. That's probably more complicated. No empathy. O dear. . . This is a difficult era to access routine medical and psychological help. Most consults are via phone, Skype etc. My mother used to have a prayer list. I need a list.

  • a_valc Valerie (@a_valc) reported

    @laberry15184440 @MrsCasey6 Mine too. That Skype call was hilarious tech issues, but would 100% do another

  • bit_by_bit Nicholas Shearer (@bit_by_bit) reported

    @bazzacollins Microsoft Teams is dreadful. Skype, Zoom, Hangouts, Bluejeans. Webex - I've used them all with little issue. Teams has a long annoying list of issues.

  • traceeeeee_ traci 🤸🏾‍♂️ (@traceeeeee_) reported

    i’m really confused on how i’m calling another department at my job and telling the rep what to ask his supervisor through skype so he can help me
