  • kingofblackacid Jason (@kingofblackacid) reported

    I hate having to try things this way, but yo, @SkypeSupport anyone work there? Everything on your help page seems hell bent on not helping. So, you know, good job on building that.

  • beverleyturner Bev Turner (@beverleyturner) reported

    @karenredhed Well... Our WiFi is terrible due to @virginmedia. So lots of faffing. Eventually out into garden to Skype on phone. So not much time But always grateful to get on @thismorning.

  • cozyseashop rebecca (@cozyseashop) reported

    @yeast223 I have Microsoft word business plan on my Apple desktop if you need help via Skype or whatnot.

  • UgotBronx MichelefromdaBronx (@UgotBronx) reported

    You'd think by now with all of the zoom meetings, Skype meetings, all the interviews that people would know by now to either have a headset or to mute themselves if they're not being spoken to so that we don't have feedback issues! 🤦 #capitolhillhearings

  • TheWeeMaverick Janis M Reilly 💙 (@TheWeeMaverick) reported

    2/2 homeschooling beside me while Dad keeps toddler going in other room. But I miss her now. I worry about her. I am happy for her. I'm exhausted again; this time it's the come down section. I continue to #ParentThroughAPandemic. 🎢 Support networks on Skype only. @suzannezeedyk

  • cydelafield Christy Delafield (@cydelafield) reported

    Some odd Skype/wifi glitch resulted in my unintentionally sending the message "Thank you!" quite a few times at random. Although if this is the message the record is getting stuck on it could be a lot worse tbh

  • Ontariofella Richard - Entrepreneur & leftie 🇨🇦 🇲🇺 (@Ontariofella) reported

    @sooz_view Is it? Although ******** legal here, I had Skype call with senior exec, me smoking spliff and no come back. Can't see the problem of smoking on Zoom or similar.

  • oneunicornaway Graduated Chaos (@oneunicornaway) reported

    Other thing I got blamed for: "messing with Skype", when 1) I've never used Skype; 2) the probleme is that you don't know how to log out of an account, and don't remember your login

  • ChrisInParis ChrisInParis (@ChrisInParis) reported

    @megabreadvan Same for me with the US, it's been years. With friends and family Skype or Telegram, etc are fine but hoping to find a good word or comparison about the options for a cheap service.

  • VPixxie 👑QueenVioletPixxie💜NSFW🔞 (@VPixxie) reported

    Someone better step up and make my night better. RT game Wheel spins Skype session: humiliation, foot worship Silent sends. Just do something to fix this ****** day.

  • NikoSarcevic Niko (@NikoSarcevic) reported

    @suchi_kulkarni @zoom_us @Skype so strange. ive upgraded basically minutes after it was available and I have no issues whatsoever

  • SiddallBarry Barry Siddall (@SiddallBarry) reported

    Tonight's Newsnight was a mess 😬 The problems with Skype live feeds have plagued us for the last year. Tonights was one of the worst. A professor influencing what the probe on Mars has to look for couldn't even arrange a half decent connection 😖 Shame on him and the BBC 😬

  • RichJamesBits Richard James (District4) (@RichJamesBits) reported

    Total truth. She fingered her *** on Skype before ******* down.

  • Rajjah PoshPug (@Rajjah) reported

    @anakin2005sky It looked more cinematic but made no sense. What a terrible way to kill off BOTH Luke and Leia. Death by using force Skype too hard. Mark Hamill loves the fandom, he would have loved to come back for more. But TLJ is a supremely selfish movie unconcerned with the franchise.

  • alanmonolith A.Monolith (@alanmonolith) reported

    @sarahbennetto If your laptop has Skype then call someone on there who can then help you call o2 via speaker on their laptop to 0344 809 0222

  • Local_Dog_Awoos Local Dog Awooing (@Local_Dog_Awoos) reported

    @GuesthouseGreg @NPR Have you heard of a service called Zoom? Similar to Skype? Got extremely popular in 2020?

  • EljonEljon Thomas Eljon 🤘🏳️‍🌈 ✖️Box (@EljonEljon) reported

    @ahmedabdulaal11 @antonioberetini @Skype That's the whole bad design of it. There is so much clicking around this issue that "simple" just is not a case anymore. It's less hassle to just open Skype, choose person and click call.

  • SharLovegrove Sharmaine Lovegrove is away (@SharLovegrove) reported

    @Damian_Barr I just have to remember that you are not on it and use SMS. I always find it odd that the same function (text messaging service) can go out of use. In the UK, Whatsapp is to SMS what Zoom is to Skype.

    @SkypeSupport my skype account is blocked for no apparent reason. Please help.

  • kingofblackacid Jason (@kingofblackacid) reported

    @SkypeSupport Honestly, I hate doing this. But I'm at my wits end and I need some help here. The offer for a bribe still stands
