  • HowToBuildATent Most Relevant Elect Matt Williams (@HowToBuildATent) reported

    @Joshua24__15 Sounds like it was a conference phone line not a zoom/hangout/skype meeting but could be wrong. Either way it's pretty terrible for them and wonderful for us haha

  • OzojuN Ozoju Nera (@OzojuN) reported

    @IGN I was randomly smashing some keys around on Skype with a few gaming pals and ozjnera came up. Thought it sounded good enough for an username. Went with it for 11 years now, never had a problem creating an account

  • Adam_Olivero 🎮 🕹️ Adam Olivero 🎦🎬 (@Adam_Olivero) reported

    @Adamski I've had this happen with both Skype recordings and Open Broadcast Software. Running it through Handbrake or Avidemux seems to fix it. I've asked @markspen and @RippleTraining for their RippleLive on Friday as to why it happens and the proper fix.

  • grizzlybr Cognitive Dissonance is a “thing” (@grizzlybr) reported

    @susannareid100 @MattHancock My mum has early onset Alzheimer’s I’ve not hugged or touched her hand since March. She is stuck in a care home thinking I’ve abandoned her. She does not speak so an i pad or Skype doesn’t help. Our hearts are breaking everyday. Who feels sorry for our elders in care??? Not Matt!

  • weeeeeeewooooo ( ・_・)♡ (@weeeeeeewooooo) reported

    Just thinking ab how Skype dropped the ball so bad.... possibly the biggest ball dropped in history... zoom is ubiquitous down in pandemic and Skype has ... left the chat entirely

  • xenoveritas Xenoveritas (@xenoveritas) reported

    @BriannaWu @Microsoft So many replies seem to forget that Skype and Lync aka “Skype for Business” are separate products. Yes, Skype for Business is being replaced by Teams. It’s not Skype. Microsoft Teams: “has encountered a problem and needs to be restarted.”

  • RoeRoeMonroe Monroe (@RoeRoeMonroe) reported

    Yeah you know they are the one when you’ve been hyper fixating all day and your brain is fried and you don’t want to move talk or interact w/anyone but you can’t stop stimming bc you’re stoked to Skype them despite your brain completely shutting down w/ everything else

  • CraigSearle1 Craig Searle ⚓️ (@CraigSearle1) reported

    @peggy_blair Yeah it’s difficult, does FaceTime or Skype help ?

  • LingLaoBurr 👩🏻‍💻🥷🏼🇱🇦 (@LingLaoBurr) reported

    I remember on Skype business at my first job when I got down here... my supervisor was a ***** so I blocked her. Her fat *** had to come up 2 floors and across the building if she wanted to say something to me 😭💀

  • bllywcktt ᴡɪʟʟɪᴀᴍ (@bllywcktt) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    a coworker’s status on Skype is “electricity outage, minimal availability” and I’ve never stolen an idea so quickly

  • pennydouph GoldStarMa (@pennydouph) reported

    @ShazinOr I'm so sorry, what a horrible reason to finally be together. I'm thankful for your family's service and sacrifices. I did 18 years, Navy, was lucky, missed one year of holidays/birthdays with my kids. No skype/zoom back then, what a luxury!

  • Wiltsgal SCrump (@Wiltsgal) reported

    @jinxs67 My Skype meetings don't provide a dial in option and the help desk don't understand the problem so keep giving wrong advice. I'm going to call them every couple of months

  • yungsenshi jingle belle. ❄️ (@yungsenshi) reported

    There was a point in time in my life where I would be sitting down on Skype doing work while my boyfriend was playing COD. Jah Jah.

  • Pasquale_CT Pasquale (@Pasquale_CT) reported

    @SullyCNBC I'm not a fan. Email, Skype IM, and Skype - too much overlap. And where I work there are IP issues, we arent supposed to communicate proprietary info on Slack. Safer to IM or email

  • __YouLoveJazz Fuck Them Kids (@__YouLoveJazz) reported

    Chile they got 150 people on this Skype call and my coworkers snapping on the instructors 😭 this is so ghetto Lord help me
