Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Motweet Motweet (@Motweet) reported from Niederkassel, Nordrhein-Westfalen

    @SkypeSupport Let‘s hope for it. As I said it is a very important form of communication for her. She was lost when it happened. And she cannot fix it herself. We will not update because she cannot cope with changes. It is important that all the buttons are at their place.

  • myonlysecret MyOnlySecret (@myonlysecret) reported from Albuquerque, New Mexico

    My son's dad lives in Indiana, we live in New Mexico. They Skype once a week and... Heaven help me... His dad needs to think of better topics bc he just tells him about how he's remodeling stuff and my son is so bored. Then today... He tells our son about how his half brothers -

  • JoeyMurr Joe Murray (@JoeyMurr) reported from Peabody, Massachusetts

    Hey Adobe audition nerds! Im trying to record by Skype and gchat and I’m using the Scarlett mini studio. I can only record into adobe using soundflower but can’t hear anything. All I want is to go on gchat, hot record and get sound from both us to to record a podcast. Help!

  • Ashabadash Ace ❤️ (@Ashabadash) reported from Pacifica, California

    Issue one: when one student ignored the sign on my office door saying I was on a Skype call, came into my office and then decided to contribute to the conversation I was having on said Skype call

  • RiskManager01 John McLackland (@RiskManager01) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @AGlasgowGirl @CCriadoPerez Sorry to learn - unsure as to the reason why your visa was refused, but thankfully,you can provide a live video feed overseas using free resources such as FaceTime,Skype,Periscope,Twitter, Facebook etc . My Gaelic surname also presents problems to the AI Visa Processing System.

  • FriendlyAshley Ashley Bischoff (@FriendlyAshley) reported from Dallas, Texas

    @4ndyman Well, taking a picture is a good start! That counts for something. And I’m happy to help at any point. Heck, we could even chat over Skype video and we could walk through the major features and such—or whatever might work for you. (Or if that’s not your thing, that’s okay too.)

  • jruux london boy (@jruux) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    Highlight of my day was when IT had to remote in and view my desktop and I forgot he was watching and sent my manager a skype message saying “he has no clue” My issue did not get resolved and I’m not at all surprised why 🙂

  • mick_demarco Housty (@mick_demarco) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Got my flight delayed two hours on the way to a job down in Cardiff which meant I had to do a Skype interview for another job in the airport. Buuuut didn't happen because somebody broke one of the doors going out of baggage and we got blocked in for half an hour.

  • jonnytull Jonnywise / Tulltergeist II: The Other Side (@jonnytull) reported from Doncaster, England

    @MyNameIsGaron None of this is how it is always gonna be. Def worth talking about this to someone and saying it out loud. The Skype door is open (can’t help with the time difference though). 😂

  • BJP109 brian Healy (@BJP109) reported from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

    @Jim_Stone12 @CONDESCENDANT @rockdaboatNL I guess his going over there will frighten them into hurrying it up. Why not stay home, sit on his arse, and use Skype. If you were an electrical engineer at MF ,your problem is you were and maybe still are afraid to think. Your concrete block is on its way.

  • LBayne Lindsay Bayne (@LBayne) reported from Seattle, Washington

  • sTeamTraen Nick Brown (@sTeamTraen) reported from Hoofddorp, Provincie Noord-Holland

    @garicgymro @DingemanseMark @ProfSimonFisher I do this too. I don't always use the most accurate words in a Skype interview. But everything that isn't "Brown said 'XYZ'" is the journalist's problem. Most writers accept this condition, but some don't, sometimes due to their outlet's policy, which seems anti-fact checking.

  • SamBlades93 Sam Blades (@SamBlades93) reported from Providencia, Región Metropolitana

    @missplanesaili1 @British_Airways Update, i contacted them via Skype and they have sorted out my issue. Thank you for suggesting to ring the US number as i never thought of that!
