@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 👌🏼

22. Discord hands down. Skype isn’t easy to use and you can’t have multiple channels on a server or anything. Discoed is so much more useful. 23. Yes.

@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.

@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.

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

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!

@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

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.
