  Sat in a Skype meeting with a broken mic and no sound. What's even the point. Just sat looking at a screen with relevance to me

  Going from gaming, streaming, and using discord at the same time no problem in college, to having my skype call drop 1617372773 times with Gracen, and having my games rubber band til i die really shows me how spoiled I was with LSU's internet

  @markjminer @bill_wints Problem is I’m sure they use Skype and spoof all of there numbers and some of them look legit....

  @Skype Fantastic, thank you - had some hardware issues on a borrowed laptop (I’m not very good at tech!) but I just switched over to the app on my phone and it worked wonderfully with great video/audio quality and no glitches 👌🏼

  @SkypeSupport using on PC and Android phone both. No error.. just no answer and see that social media blocked in Sri Lanka because of terrorist activities. Not sure if skype blocked but nothing from my friend on skype.

  @theboydigital .... But then @Microsoft acquired @Skype and the product quality went down the toilet, leaving a massive need in the market for @zoom_us I reckon the same could happen with @LinkedIn well for those that don't need recruiters and outsource dev studios spamming you.

  @KayFKeane One lady was bought a tablet by her granddaughter. (Not the pharmaceutical kind!) and she was helped to use it. we don’t see her in the surgery any more because she can skype her family in Australia. The issue was that she was isolated and lonely. #communitywellbeing

  @SkypeSupport Have not had contact with Sri Lank friend and heard they shut down social media due to the bombing issue there. Search "social media Sri Lanka"

  Shout-out to Google Voice for consistently getting stable calls through while I am traveling on spotty WiFi and 2G cell service. WhatsApp and Skype often fail buy Google Voice is a champ.

  Walk Down Puppies and Kittens Please. (@walkdownman) reported 16 minutes ago from DeRidder, Louisiana

  I absolutely dislike Skype interviews. Phone too. Would rather they be in my living room with me slouched on the ole couch with beer in hand, puffing a Marlboro light 100. And interviewer in straight back, not so comfy chair "Perspiration" rolling down his cheeks. Hoo rah

  @adriani4530 @CarterTemm That's kinda creepy though. Skype's only going down hill!

  @CarterTemm @PolarLights7 @Skype Oh my goodness! Thanks for the heads up! Skype's only going down hill, not up.

  @Skype @JuliaBramble Thanks so much for offering to help Julia. I had a similar issue recently with Skype on Mac. But it seems to have resolved itself for me but not for Julia.

  Too many Skype/Team service degradation advisories from Microsoft within this month alone. What's going on.

  @OfficeSupport Skype for business Admin center isn’t working well either as I can’t assign service numbers to the appropriate accounts.

  Brian Streig, CPA (@cbriancpa) reported 29 minutes ago from Austin, Texas

  We're fixing to have a Skype interview with a @UTexasMcCombs accounting student. Fingers are crossed that we don't embarrass ourselves again with silly technical issues this time!

  joan-an-tríú (@joan_an_triu) reported 36 minutes ago from Saxman, Alaska

  @WisdomToothDog @72stroopwafels Yes! That happened to me on my first few Skype lessons with a tutor (after a few months of hard study to get some basics down). I'd just go blank! Or be so focused on the few earlier words I recognized that I'd miss the rest of the sentence... So stressful!

  @SkypeSupport locked out of account (password reset didn’t work) pls help. Filled out crazy form online days ago. No reply. Need to get back into my account!!

• 
  Andrzej Bobak (@andrzej_bobak) reported 37 minutes ago from Poznań, Greater Poland

  @xtofl @soylentgraham @ederstoico @rick_west8 I learned that synchronous tutoring provided the most benefit. A quick 1 on 1 skype/hangouts call and a walkthrough why someone uses a given approach, what are the upsides of alternate solutions, or brainstorm to quickly unblock someone stuck on a complex problem

  Michelle Excell (@mexcell2) reported 39 minutes ago from Zürich, Zurich

  @SkypeSupport Hi! I set up my account about 12 years ago so it has really old email addresses. That’s part of the problem and why I couldn’t recover. So I went through the massive recovery process form which is hard when you don’t have access to your account, and filled it in as best I could.

  Lol doing worry @manfuryxxx doesn't even do it for me. I have to get my fix from my amazing fans when they skype me.

  @morganlinton I am a very happy Zoom customer Great investment They did what Skype, Hangouts, WebEx & the rest failed @ Build scalable, foolproof, cloud based, videoconf system that works EVERYTIME! Never have had trouble with connections, QoS, nothing Only when participants lines go down

  Prymalfury (@Prymalfury) reported 42 minutes ago from Janesville, Wisconsin

  Looks like resource accounts isn’t functional in Teams admin center either @Office365. Can’t assign service numbers in the Skype admin center too.

  📻 David Lloyd (@DavidLloydRADIO) reported 49 minutes ago from Nottinghamshire, England

  @NickGarnettBBC @timoncheese For some reason I don’t think I’ve ever conducted a Skype/FaceTime interview on BBC local radio without it sounding appalling! Some compatibility issue, I guess

  Kara N. Slade (@KaraNSlade) reported 54 minutes ago from Princeton, New Jersey

  @jathko @ianlasch This is all so weird. So weird. I don't want to try to do this in tweets, but if you ever want to Skype I'm down for it

• 
  Danny G. (@DannyGradio) reported 54 minutes ago from Burbank, California

  @PeculiarBaptist @Jonesy_Wales @ClayTravis @ColinCowherd It’s not callers, it’s guests with bad Skype connections (something I mentioned on-air before.) But Colin never had problems with Skype until this week
