    4, 12/13 years ago in the early days of Spotify, there literally was no one we could get advice from apart from the folks at Skype, however @nzennstrom and co were busy building a competing music service of their own called Rdio.

  • bvgfgfdw42 Dook (@bvgfgfdw42) reported

    decided skype issue MIGHT be my usb headset, so bought an alternative version - previous one (although it used to work fine on my other laptop) was a plugnplay usb to audio/microphone jack socket which then feed into headset - so might have caused issues.. or maybe not.

    @tommangan @LSchmitt_TAAWTS Yes, I’ve seen it which is why I turned down staff offers. Global companies I freelanced for had meetings scheduled with teams in Singapore, Spain, etc., staff had to attend via Skype at all hours. I got paid for my extra time. They got same raise and crappy bonus every year.

  • Ebdulmomen1 Ebdulmomen Ahmed (@Ebdulmomen1) reported

    @shkoagha In my experience Skype has been very inconsistent, it’s riddled with network connectivity and database connection issues, it used to be the best though, but these days i don’t really think it is anywhere near zoom or google meet
