    @CMendozaEsq @AlysonDecker10 It'll be interesting to see what happens to Lync/Skype or Business Skype. Teams can certainly replace that with no problem.

  • AlanBaxter Alan Baxter (@AlanBaxter) reported

    This old guy is dead, no pulse. He had a phone in his pocket, and I’ve managed to log in to Twitter. He already had that app, but he’s never tweeted. Thing is, I have wifi down here, but no phone signal. And I don’t have his app store password to download Skype or something.

  • mbgantwerp Mind-BendingGrammars (@mbgantwerp) reported

    @_shengche Well, beats me. Perhaps google docs app/account is switched to Dutch for some reason? And Skype gets its language info from it? Other than that, Skype also causes all kinds of issues on my pc all the time (though not this one ... yet). Anyway, no clue really.

    @meddiss Fantastic advice I got from my advisor: just start writing, you can always chase down a citation if you need it later or edit if something changes. I am also a huge proponent of writing groups. I meet with 3 friends on Monday morning via skype, tell them what I am going to do 1/

  • nancyyvillegas Nancy😼 (@nancyyvillegas) reported

    my nephew just sent me a skype, like we live down the road...

  • preparetocry achilles’ heelys (@preparetocry) reported

  • FacelessAFK Faceless (@FacelessAFK) reported

    I just said "later peepos" instead of later peeps in my Skype work group chat as I was closing down my pc.. I need to lay off Twitch

  • MissLexisaurus Alexis🤶 (she/her) (@MissLexisaurus) reported

    **** Microsoft and the pile of **** shaped like a horse they rolled in on. Their piece of **** service has meant my therapy appointment is delayed or cancelled because my Skype number has been "claimed" by someone else, despite it being MY phone number and me not having had any

  • HZardoz Son of Mighty Humanzee (@HZardoz) reported

    @MReturneth @C4CEO Meetings are TERRIBLE. More spent verbalizing, yet no one writes things down to memorialize, so people have to jump on Skype/chat to ask the same thing all over again.

  • MichaelJosem Michael Josem (@MichaelJosem) reported

    @Microsoft @Skype Because they refuse to provide either email or postal support, I'm forced to sit online with them continually while their staff fail to fix this problem. If you ever run a customer service channel, please do not force me to use your awful and slow "online chat" service.

  • MichaelJosem Michael Josem (@MichaelJosem) reported

    Now into my fifth hour, and eighth (!) staff member of @microsoft and @skype to fix their billing system problem. Just been told "We need to further troubleshoot this first before we can escalate this case" to a manger. You mean the last five hours of this crap wasn't enough?

  • UrFriendSallie Brat Girl 🦇🌹 (@UrFriendSallie) reported

    @vegedarian_ THIS!!!!!!!!! Jobs are doing to much these days!!! Once I had to take 2 personality tests and then do a 2 hour long interview of me doing logic problems on a white board via Skype and didn’t even get that job! Like you did this for what?

  • LariTudor Rosamund Clifford, Rose of the World (@LariTudor) reported

    So I'm going to interview this old lady for my thesis, but she chose to do so by whatsapp. I must record it though and suggested doing so on skype, but she knows nothing how to use it, so she's waiting her daughter coming home to help her. I wonder if I did right by asking her?

  • suzygreenbergjr suzy greenberg (@suzygreenbergjr) reported

    Is it just me or has video chat quality gone down over the years? FaceTime lags more now than Skype did 10 years ago

  • dinglut Rory Campbell (@dinglut) reported

    @HMRCcustomers Thanks Rob. I think the problem is I used Skype to call from outside the UK, so the phone line thinks I am calling the HMRC international number from a UK line, hence the message to try again on the UK number. Will try again. Sorry for the frustration
