@ChampChong I think it's a bit soon too as a Victorian. I haven't seen my family since I moved to Victoria June of 2019. I was supposed to see them Easter 2020 but... yeah. Though I miss them, I don't want to be the issue for anyone. Waiting til it's 100% safe. Discord/Skype it is til then.

@JoshRackers One thing that I don’t understand is how Skype for Business is still such a terrible product. They had a 10 year head start on zoom on creating video conferencing software and seem to have learned..... nothing.

@pptsapper This has certainly been a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Year. Does your fam have skype, zoom, or any other way to go virtual?

@KatjaSavia I agree with @Cr1ptkeeper but that is also just a single option. Just having someone to talk to even over something like Discord or Skype (not just messaging) can really help by having hearing someone's voice in real time. Of course it doesn't fix loneliness but can at least help

I was to go to Lagos for the interview but I told them I couldn't go to Lagos as I still work with a radio station and had to be on air daily. We opted for Skype interview. All went well, the pay was far above what I was currently earning but there was a problem.

Login and fund your account. It's important that your Skype username and your SkyPrivate name are THE EXACT SAME. Not sure what your Skype username is? Login to Skype, go to Settings -> Profile -> Edit your profile, you should see it.

@Periloushybrid *Jennifer nodded her head as she decided to keep quiet about tge dark magic thing because truthfully, it made her a bit uncomfortable. So instead, she just decided to chuckle and tease Klaus about being new to Skype*. Wow, 1000 years old and still having trouble with modern+

(@policies4poland) reported
@ACKaminski @bbclaurak @BBCNews Ironically, people have more trouble with my name in Poland than in the UK; I was doing a radio interview last week that almost never happened because the researcher was looking for a 'Michael Dębinski' on Skype - we connected 30 seconds before I was due on air!

@wirecutter @melaniepinola Our small office switched from Skype to Teams. I like the chat and the ability to share my screen, but we all have trouble with calls not connecting properly the first time. I rarely can hear/be heard until one of us calls back once or twice. Echoing without earphones is annoying

@SoPlainlyJane Sure sorry that he's having such trouble. Wish I could do something other than hoping/wishing the best for him. I hope you skype or face-time with him often, keep him feeling 'in the loop.'

@xAigueMarinex This year I turned 30 and had so many plans that were unfortunately cancelled and it left me feeling very defeated, my friends have been an amazing rescue to keep me creative, we play D&D online, games and have quiz nights on Skype that really help :)

@imleslahdin Yes, and there's websites that help you connect with natives (say, Tandem or italki). Plus there's Skype, Facetime, etc. Not sure what makes Zoom special, am I missing something?

@willsmith what exactly do you consider "good dsl"? In my town good dsl is 80 bidirectional. My house could get up to 40 down 14 up (I'm only paying for 20 by 7), but my parents only get 5 down 2 up out in the country. Even my parents can do an HD Skype call while the other is on

@Mr_NoOne_X_x @virginmedia I've been offline since Thursday night! only intermittent service since then, no possibility of streaming or making skype or zoom calls. No one calling me back. No care that I have a disabled vulnerable young person in the home.

@WHRB is your host using the wrong mic? It sound terrible, like when you're on a Skype/Zoom using a laptop's built-in mic.

@baphnedia I... Haven't removed the info of a friend who passed away three years ago from steam or Skype... I don't know why I keep around the steam one because occasionally I'll come across a game he had on his wishlist... Or just see his special friend category... And I'll break down.
