  • ItsJustRave Rave 💀🖤 (@ItsJustRave) reported

    Anyone else have issues using Skype on the Xbox Series X? Everytime I try to join a group chat it connects and then immediately freezes and tells me to exit the app and restart it. Any fixes? Tried reinstalling and power cycling. @Xbox @xboxuk @XboxSupport

  • charlottegore Charbert Gillbert VII, Disaster Area. (@charlottegore) reported

    @dr_barnowl @tinyblob I.e., explicitly a device designed for Zoom/Meet/Skype that gets around ****** bluetooth transmission (bluetooth microphones are always **** because in order to get the latency down they have to have an ultra-low bitrate which is fine for phone calls but terrible for Zoom)

  • Mushy17972919 Mushy (@Mushy17972919) reported

    @howdydogchair @SuggestiveGames Impotent move, the shut down napster inside three years it gave rise to kazaa and morpheus, kazaa going more popular and loner lived than napster. Which in turn muscled morpheus out of the space (which became gnutella). The p2p backend on kazaa lead to the development of skype

  • FahdRasool mariam Fahd Rasool (@FahdRasool) reported

    @UmaizaAli A parent that withholds children from other loving parent is a child abuser. Every child has a right to be loved by both parents. Help kids to phone/Skype/meet/see their father. Kids not allowed to even phone father for last 12 years *ہر بابا کے لیے اسکی بیٹی شہزادی ضرور ہوتی ھے

  • BoneJeni Bone(anti-fascist)Jeni (@BoneJeni) reported

    @LesStonehouse Who are they? My Grey Boomer parents (80s) use their PC (albeit basically) and communicate with family around the world via Skype. They CAN do better, they're just comfortable with Jones, Bolt et al - which is the issue.

  • zebbler Zebbler (@zebbler) reported

    Well @Skype just automatically charged me for a service THEY THOUGHT I NEEDED but WITHOUT MY CONSENT. And of course, it was an auto-pay subscription. IN WHAT WORLD IS THAT OK?????

  • seesthedanger SteveO (@seesthedanger) reported

    @TriciaBarker49 @JohnCCoupar Yes and right away I found it more user friendly than Skype which I used a lot a decade ago. I got my desktop camera going but the picture is awful and I can't find out how to fix it. I'm using Windows 10.

    @AutSciPerson This is a somewhat unrelated question, but do you have trouble with eye contact even on Zoom and Skype too? I get that real bad all the time myself.

  • Schwahn_ Schwahn | BLM | TRAHR (@Schwahn_) reported from Anchorage Municipality, Alaska

    When you hit the "X" on a window, the program should close and shut down. I have only encountered it a few times. But there are some applications that treat the X like it is the minimize button. - Skype - Twitch Soundtrack **** programs that do this.

    @JamesCraigmyle @Skype @zoom_us I just said to my son that I wish we could have a trainer come to the house! This may be the next best thing seeing as I don’t live near you. Need help with my very needy 1 year old.

  • RichGale82 Richard Gale (@RichGale82) reported

    @Ron_Fleasley @AndieDelicacy Andie never wanted to Skype. It was a big issue even though I said I was fine with it. I was sometimes going on internet websites to watch other people Skype. Zoom too. Got a WhatsApp magazine from a specialist shop. Seedy.
