I bought a webcam with a built-in mic for my parents to use for Skype. Now only the mic work, but I chalked it up to age. Until I searched and others have the same issue? Seems to be a Windows update / driver that broke it.

@teddyschleifer @AlxThomp Meg Whitman? The quibi says were like, yesterday, and she’s a terrible business person - ruined HP, was lame at Quibi, and just coincidentally lucky at the helm of eBay. Oh and eBay buying Skype. HP buying autonomy, buying loudcloud... yech. Just bad.

@Carrenimfa Very true. I wish I could like this a thousand times! It’s a lot harder to screw people over after you sit down with them over lunch and shake their hands afterwards. Email, Zoom, Skype etc, they don’t see you as a real person.

And I know this problem isn’t just limited to education. I’ve heard the stories of coworkers in the private sector who make 6 figures who don’t know how to use Skype or let alone open up a pdf. And Gen z gets way too much credit for being tech literate.

@tiredoframen Something with his speakers,I think. We had some Skype issues before the show so we didn't get to sound check before we went live.

Remember when Skype was a well-used verb. They shifted focus onto pointless social features rather than improving the quality of the service. Now we use Zoom.

I don't watch much @CNN but I'm curious if they have nearly as many problems with #Webex as @MCNBC has with #Skype. I get why they use Skype, but holy crap is it unreliable! The lag and video dropouts are almost unwatchable.

@ummohheythere We moved from Skype to Teams a couple of months ago and it's just terrible in every way.

@locorama @NEWS1130 Starbucks, etc., have had months to follow guidelines to keep people safe. I know my higher power doesn’t want me to take chances that will make my family or community suffer. If guidelines can be followed, why not offer service? If not, offer service via Skype, zoom, you tube

The guys were okay/nice to his face, but when I talked to my ex on msn or skype or whatever, a day or two later, to thank him for hanging out and that it was a fun night.. I asked what he thought of my then bf. It had been like 3-4 years since we'd broken up by that point.
