    @LloydsBank any plans for alternative means of authentication? Like encrypted online messaging e.g. WhatsApp? The change came in while I've been away. Spent a long time with your helpful customer services by Skype but they were unable to help so I can't manage accounts as hoped😑

  • graemekhefner Graeme Hefner (@graemekhefner) reported

    @bbqfrito Teams isn't as responsive of Slack but other than OneDrive for Business slowing down to a crawl sometimes (SharePoint backend whyyyy), I generally think it's fine. Way better than Skype for sure.

    @sanbarrow Hello... I need some help please. I have contacted you by skype. I have reinstalled esxi on datastore partition and lost 3tb of data

  • SredanovicDj Djordje Sredanovic (@SredanovicDj) reported

    @PhdAmaka Have been doing phone, Skype, Zoom or whatever the interviewee prefers, in part since before the pandemic. As others who have already answered I always use the physical recorder. Have to confess that any option can have some limits - connections falling down or having bad audio.

  • phillyduck2 Phillyduck (@phillyduck2) reported

    If you're flying (traveling in general) for Thanksgiving go **** yourself. You are the problem. Yeah it might not be the same but you do know you can do a skype, zoom, or any other video program to simply EAT and TALK TOGETHER. If you're offended by this take 2 seconds to think

    @hwetopia Oh maybe they are having issues with the other app? Just login to your Skype mobile or pc then you can record from there

    @tobesmoore @Skype Dunno. But I'll give you a game of Fifa if you're down.

    @herewegokids7 Stop it! Stop right now don't you dare start this nonsense. You're around my age I'm betting, maybe younger. So let's do what our parents taught, we've got problems posed to us. 1. Skype/zoom the fam dinner with the quarantined. 2. God spake " where there they are gathered (Cont)

  • WealthyCub leopold. (@WealthyCub) reported

    @TheBestComma --phone call or a skype chat with Wills, but I didn't get the chance, and now I'm on the verge of breaking down in a pub at Oxford, instead, silently praying that I don't start crying before I can use the alcohol as an excuse} What if... what if we don't work things out? Or,--

  • frankrietta Frank S. Rietta (@frankrietta) reported

    @chrissanders88 Dang...this is absolutely why I set a PIN and wrote it down & shared with other caregivers for our 86 year old grandfather for his new iPad. I tried setting it to have no login (threat modeling given his use case of Skype). 100% he would lock himself out.

  • ChickenSith Patrick Johnson 🇺🇸 (@ChickenSith) reported

    @Moqmom @BrewsterBub Seriously. That's three times in a row. You're awfully obsessed with people's penises. Seek help, I bet the therapist will let you skype.

  • UndeadRobins UndeadRobins (@UndeadRobins) reported

    Skype meetings are terrible anyway. But those that are just 'let's just have a catch up' meeting are 100x worse. No agenda, but it's compulsory. I'm losing the will to live.

  • rmcntrl rrrem (@rmcntrl) reported

    @RealJamesWoods Just turn location off altogether, on the status bar. no apps have permission. Make apps only use location when your using them. (On Android, at least) If you don't make a call with cell service, a rower can't ping you. You can use wifi calling. (Google voice, Skype, etc)

  • BigWalsh Dante (@BigWalsh) reported

    @CrimeLdn She can challenge it from where she is in the world through Skype or online, she will cause a lot of trouble if she returns to this country

  • CathyHensel Cathy Hensel (@CathyHensel) reported

    @JeffreyRitchey I know right? Anne Frank & her family didn't have Netflix, skip the dishes, internet,or Skype. They had to hide & be quiet& still they were found & killed. People today are *******. It is pathetic. Lord help us if WW3 breaks out. People don't know scarifice.

  • stevencrouch211 Steven (@stevencrouch211) reported

    @SkyNews Use zoom or Skype there problem solved, if we can have people attend there trails & sentencing virtual then we can do the same for appeals.

  • EnglishPHour English Power Hour (@EnglishPHour) reported

    @SkypeSupport Is there a problem with Skype today? I have been having some serious problems. Program crashing, no voice, no cam.. dropping calls. Is anyone else having the same issue?

  • NathanaelB Nathanael Coyne (Nat) (@NathanaelB) reported

    @z_rose @trib It's almost certainly not a security issue and more likely a bandwidth and network performance thing so it wouldn't matter if it were Zoom, WebEx, Skype, or Teams.

  • Rosco95410926 Tylerdurden (@Rosco95410926) reported

    @NASA I can't even get a Skype or Zoom call to work properly on earth two blocks away....but in 1969 they had a live feed to the moon 384,000 + km away and no problems with barely a delay at all. With photos better than what we can take today on earth! Bullshit.
