Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BonShanique mad lib 🗣 (@BonShanique) reported from Austin, Texas

    Dear World, if you are on a Skype or a Zoom call, can you please set your device down on a flat surface and leave it there? 🤢🤢🤢

  • preinsko Pamela Reinskou ✌🏼 (@preinsko) reported from Sammamish, Washington

    @jptrthndr Microsoft gave up any rights to MSNBC years ago. I’ve seen people using Skype and Zoom; but there are security issues with zoom. I haven’t seen anyone using gotomeeting. 2020 not only has a pandemic exposing issues its exposing our cruddy cyber broadband as well.

  • shameekm shameek mookherjee (@shameekm) reported from New Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi

    @ishrutidwivedi Skype will be replaced by teams. Microsoft will slowly take down Skype by next year... hence no development

  • SNAPPLEBERRIES Mahogany_Dream29 (@SNAPPLEBERRIES) reported from Columbus, Georgia

    @El_generico09 I agree! but Skype wasn't terrible...I'd take Skype over gchat any day! It's trash!

  • metsfan4eva MrMet1023 (@metsfan4eva) reported from Staten Island Junction, New Jersey

    @TMKSESPN Skype audio and video is terrible ! Please go back to ZOOM

  • jamillahhhh Jim Miller (@jamillahhhh) reported from Manhattan, New York

    @merket @LauraCatPJs Key word there is “was”. Loved Wunderlist and used all the time. Tolerate MSFT To Do because I need a decent Task list Skype WAS also great but quickly went down hill. This is a terrible idea for TikTok but great for someone building a competitor

  • HudsonKerry Kerry Hudson (@HudsonKerry) reported from Walthamstow, England

    I've waited since 10 june for first available legal video link with a client in wandsworth. Told just now (afternoon before said visit) that he's been moved to Brixton. Only told as WE called them to chase the missing Skype link. The whole system is broken and disjointed.

  • CLMorris93 Chris Morris (@CLMorris93) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @WBA set up a public zoom/Skype call for the public to witness the dressing down Bilic is about to give that squad. Promotion in our own hands and it’s been thrown away. Joke.

  • dramashewrites Nice Bank Robber In My Dreams💞 (@dramashewrites) reported from Daytonview, Ohio

    @MaxxLaine How she get through screening... SKYPE or Zoom. ****. Make it make sense. She is there for that payout check. She need a down payment. #ChristinaAintSlick

  • dejkirkby Mags All Pods: S2D EVP (@dejkirkby) reported from Burnley, England

    @TheWrestlingPo2 @NishGuy @goodbadwrestle Click on the drop down menu and put it on your USB mic. Also, go into Windows settings and change the default Communication device to your usb mic because Skype, Audacity etc tend to revert back to default periodically.

  • Fallabel Christine Fallabel (@Fallabel) reported from Denver, Colorado

    my husband is on a Skype call that’s having audio issues, and he just said, “how about if I deploy my outside voice?” like, who did I marry? 😭🥰

  • mumfiemum Muvvership🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🇪🇸 (@mumfiemum) reported from Pedreguer, Comunitat Valenciana

    @LUBOttom @bodmansjaxs That's disgusting, it may help to download skype, if you have decent internet available, I always use it when calling numbers that charge a lot, usually it comes out much cheaper.

  • AshleaJSmith Ashlea Jade Smith (@AshleaJSmith) reported from Saint Neots, England

    Calling all techies, purchased a USB microphone to record podcast audio, however Macbook not picking it up consistently when trying to record through Skype/Zoom. Any help would be much appreciated! 🙏🏽🎙

  • alcivanio Alcivanio (@alcivanio) reported from Montréal, Québec

    @usconsmontreal @StateDept @TravelGov Is there any possibility of conducting the immigration visa interviews through video call (Skype)? I assume it would help on speeding the process and riding away with the backlog you may have now.

  • JohnDrakeCooper 🇦🇺 Lord Dráké 🌈♉️ (@JohnDrakeCooper) reported from Bendigo, State of Victoria

    @AlboMP & @ScottMorrisonMP ... why can’t you go digital? The rest of the world is working from home. Why can’t you? I’m sure ZOOM or SKYPE or FACEBOOK would be happy to help. And there’s the @abcnews service you can take over too. Transparency is vital
