@td_aaron @kayesymington I think that was what happened to me. Said I had to login in with a Microsoft account. So selected the Skype route, but failed in predictable fashion. Hmmm, I will try again for the next call, but set-up a google chat as a back-up I think. Thanks.

We stopped gaming because DM who tries to cram too many styles into one game and Player who can't say no to D&D forgot the terrible secret of whether or not *magical bird damage* is a thing. It all went down on Skype.

We'd have skype calls and play video games, and they'd occasionally mention some kind of religious undertone, for some science fiction sounding religion. They gave me control of that very same meme page, and told me to help find others for our "friend group".

Tech law twitter: does anyone know the ultimate resolution of the Belgium Yahoo & Skype cases from 2015/2017? Did Yahoo & Skype comply? Did they pay the fines? Did the investigations resolve w/o need for compliance? I am having trouble finding out the practical outcomes! 🙏

@tpen18 I was in the teacher's room at the JHS I was ALTing at - which was a weird ******* scene. 3G lines were all down but data worked, so I was able to call my family via Skype and let them know to turn on CNN.

@AskPayPal Hey, Paypal. I couldn't log into my account and I couldn't even reset my password. Please do not advise me to call your customer service because I am from overseas and overseas calls are expensive. I also tried to contact your customer service via SKYPE BUT DIDNT HELP

The Microsoft 2-step authentication thing for Skype is so duuuumb. I changed my primary e-mail in the Skype login, but that didn't work. I had to change it in an identical looking login, which will also take a month to actually make the update. WTF IS THIS?!

@cherylboruszko Guess it's better than using Microsoft's teams or Skype. They'd have a paperclip popping up every 2 mins saying " I see you are trying to get laid, can I help? "

@urbaneprofessor You essentially have used it a lot. Microsoft bought them out and it's basically the video service you get in Teams. Over time they're wanting everyone to only use it via the Teams branding (and get rid of the awful Skype interface).

Social media post is definitely not the place to talk about serious issues. The messages become scrambled in an attempt to respond to each other. Skype, FB live Chat, Zoom, etc are better for serious discussions online or on mobile devices.

Strangely those phones were a life saver that day because mobile phone service was overwhelmed. At a point I think texting wasn't working either. If you had a smart phone the internet side of things worked fine. I remember being able to talk to my wife via the Skype app then.

@laurpaige Agreed!!! I’m in software development so EYE KNOW I’d do so much better learning in person or having someone to help out in person....there’s just A LOT happening and getting one on one time via teams/Skype is hard...let alone learning what I need to know. 🙃🙃🙃🙃

So I have a client that uses Microsoft Teams, which has been a problem for calls as it does not seem to allow external suppliers to join. Does anyone know a way? I tried using my Skype account details, but this did not work.
