  • gerhardreif GPR (@gerhardreif) reported

    @Metrobank good morning, Im blocked away from doing online banking. I cant access my Metrobank account for about 6 weeks. All attempts to solve that problem failed. I sent you many eMails, did call up your call center, chatted with your employees in Skype.

  • SyberEbooks Syber Ebooks (@SyberEbooks) reported

  • iddesleigh Rudi Wheaton (@iddesleigh) reported

    @Shortbloke She is now part of my son's entourage, ever since we moved to a flat with no garden. But we see her every week when there is no lock down, and she even recognises me and my voice on Skype. Miss her a lot.

  • ChrisHoodAU Sisyphus@🏡🎄 (@ChrisHoodAU) reported

    a pair of emails at 4:30pm and 7pm yesterday from another unit about the same issue. What's the bet I'll get jumped on within minutes of going available on skype this morning.

  • Linguischick Corrine Occhino PhD (@Linguischick) reported

    After she tested positive they helped her Skype my Grandpa. It was the first time he'd seen her in 9 mo. but she was already drugged up & pretty much out of it. She kept asking my mom & Grandpa to help her b/c she couldn't breathe. I don't think she understood what was happening.

  • chuckmoran Joe gets the #46 jersey! (@chuckmoran) reported

    @faceman68 @TIME @ericsyuan Right? I was using it back then, having gotten tired of Skype. Now I have a course to help people up their Zoom game, and a blog about Zoomers. I sure didn’t see any of that coming this time last year!

  • Dirk_1968 Doombot Derek (@Dirk_1968) reported

    @xRetroGamerTomx I'm actually working from home today. My job involves a lot of telephone calls. Both Microsoft Teams and Skype are currently not working for our organisation, so it's looking like a quiet one. Is it too early to start drinking?

  • SDGIS Ari Isaak (@SDGIS) reported

    The is ________ technical zoom/meet/skype/gotomeeting/teams webmeeting problem I've experienced since March.

  • Papigiulio papiGiulio (ง︡'-'︠)ง (@Papigiulio) reported from Ibaraki Shi, Ōsaka-fu

    @agkdesign What are the reasons? Not trying to shoot you down btw. Imo its a much better alternative than wechat, whatsapp and skype. Except for all the ads and wallet etc. Id love to have a line lite version only for chats and calls.

  • meepItOut glen (@meepItOut) reported

    They make us use Skype’s messaging feature and let me tell you it is TERRIBLE

  • Vegan_Wise Natalie Dougherty (@Vegan_Wise) reported

    @Skype your newest version has an issue where audio messages sent to Skype chat have no sound. Video chat is fine. Is there a way to fix this?

  • ZigPress ZigPress (@zigpress@fosstodon.org) (@ZigPress) reported

    Dear @skypesupport, I set my status to away or busy deliberately. As soon as I reply to a message, @skype changes my status to active. According to a MS support forum, 574 people have the same issue. Fix it!

  • turumaji Master of Seismology but just a developer (@turumaji) reported

  • Martin_91rr MarTín (@Martin_91rr) reported

    @Skype Hi, what’s going on with your servers? Login is down on Android

  • leucocrystal Eleanore (@leucocrystal) reported

    Day 267/??? All shoulder and neck pain from Monday has officially disappeared, and the bruising from the cupping is already mostly gone. Just hung out at home, finally took down the Halloween decor and started putting up Christmas while the roommate lit his menorah over Skype.

  • __Jexxica Marie Laveau 🔮 🇬🇾🇬🇧♌️ (@__Jexxica) reported

  • Money1000000My MyMoney1000000 (@Money1000000My) reported

    ******* @Microsoft is so stupid! Again, they are trying to force @Skype on me by adding a “Meet Now” button in the taskbar after an update. No surprise that the top search results are all about how to remove it. Never have this problem with Macs and Ubuntu.

  • TassieHairydog Sexy Bearded Viking (@TassieHairydog) reported

    @leahvallee Yeah, for a short while. Wasn't the right person for me so it ended after a few months. Regular Skype calls and such worked well to get to know each other well enough to be able to make the call to end before going down the immigration path.

  • _Rbot_ Rooben.avi (@_Rbot_) reported

    Got ‘Team Christmas Drinks’ on Skype in 7 minutes. Minded to throw myself down the ******* stairs to get out of it here.

  • theProToolsGuy Dave Phillips (@theProToolsGuy) reported

    How is it that Skype on #XboxSeriesX is soooooo broken?

  • PolTimmer Pol Timmer (@PolTimmer) reported

    Not sure if you're aware, but the @IntercontGTC commentary is unintelligible. It sounds like the problem is that the commentators are on a skype call without wearing headphones. #IntGTC

  • JoelPearl Joel Pearl (@JoelPearl) reported

    @BigMoneyDrew @TimbstoneP OBS Studio for us. We used Streamlabs for a few weeks, wasn't to our liking. We used OBS Ninja for a bit (OBS web client) but had tech issues, so we moved our AV over to Skype, created the overlay you see in the video, and that's basically it. Tim makes us sound and look great.

  • tommyraz24 Tom (@tommyraz24) reported

    @asmith2306 @jdillon1000 @afneil What’s geography got to do with it? How much have you travelled abroad for work this year? Our gdp is 76% service industry..... you not heard of email and Skype? You don’t be sold, if the single market is so amazing why they so scared of others leaving!!?

  • sundersart sundersart (@sundersart) reported

  • fiearah ꜰɪᴇᴀʀᴀʜ 🤶 (@fiearah) reported

    When I first started this my time was completely monopolized by being a mom. Now that I have more free time, during the day (school) I am able to do things like Skype etc. IF I WANT TO. There in lies the problem....

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported
