Today I had to help interview someone for a position at my work via Skype. I put on a full face of makeup for the first time in weeks. Still didn’t wear pants though.

@MichaelGillett I can confirm, after not having used my #Kinect with @Skype on the @Xbox One for almost 2 years, that stability has improved greatly! The Kinect no longer shuts itself down requiring a reboot of the system! (knock on wood) #Miraclesdohappen!

@AnyaSonder @_sadel_ SA should have shut them weeks ago! Apparently numbers are down 70%. Ours’ is going online for term 2 and I think it’ll be term 3 too. Full curriculum delivery over google classroom. My work is all remote now via Skype etc but I’m in IT so a bit easier

@themultifwriter Well, I did. And that's why my babysitter is going to help with my oldest kid's homework through Skype tomorrow because I just can't do it anymore 😅

Played a game of D&D over video call today. Initially tried Skype because everyone had it installed, switched to Zoom because we were having issues hearing each other. I’m flabbergasted at how much better Zoom was. Skype struggled with audio, zoom managed video with no issues.

@drraja_ @gmcuk too preponed my exam to help facilitate august recruitment so I was wondering if the PLAB2 can be taken earlier than June via skype & if I (or people like me, with experience in critical care or A&E) pass, we can join early and help the NHS when it needs doctors the most.

@NiecyOKeeffe I was shouted at in work for not having a profile pic for my Skype calls but the issue was solved by me uploading a school photo (year 2 at Primary school). I have a phobia about seeing myself, I don't have a graduation photo and I only consented to wedding pics under duress

bit mainly Microsoft's obsession with making you have a Microsoft account is what drove me away. To this day I find it a pain if someone wants me to login to Skype.

I just had the worst experience with @skype. It made me login in @Microsoft 15x. No wonder Gates stepped down. So glad I bought stock in @apple instead of your subpar organization.

@GeoffField I’m onto my second zoom for the day and no issues at all. No problems with Skype either.

@ActivateLearn Wow. Some passionate defence of Microsoft on this thread. I have to agree though that Skype (consumer) has dropped off my apps. I only installed it on my phone again yesterday to give some advice to someone who wanted to run a virtual church service over it.
