  • nashveggie NashVeggie (@nashveggie) reported

    @chancerubbage I've used skype on a 1.5 down/512 up. Compression.

  • CryptoStorm3 Crypto Storm (@CryptoStorm3) reported

    @chriswweller @businessinsider Zoom ate Skype's lunch bigtime! Skype dropped the ball when it mattered the most! 18yrs of a headstart down the drain!

  • louisewilso Louise Wilson (@louisewilso) reported

    @ScotTories @scottishlabour @scotlibdems Murrell has addressed the WhatsApp issue in a letter to the committee. He reiterated he does no use the app. He said: "There are several messaging apps on my phone that I don’t use. This includes profiles on Facebook Messenger, LinkedIn, Instagram, Slack, Skype, and WhatsApp"

  • Frank66_ Dr. Faucci (S)M.D. (@Frank66_) reported

    On today’s episode of “Let’s fix something that’s not broken”, we will be switching from Microsoft Skype to Microsoft teams, and also, it will make your already-****** computers run even slower

  • GiveMeWaff1es Lexi At Front Desk 29:🎄Christmas Is In, So In🎄 (@GiveMeWaff1es) reported

    "An error occurred during your Skype meeting" "your connection is fixed" Just **** OFF

  • OdiousFury 𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝑜 (@OdiousFury) reported

    They better stop the Skype service or sick leave here I come! I ain’t gonna talk to an imbecile who don’t understand there’s nothing we can do for him, cause the problem ain’t in the bank. Spoke about 20 times today with him.

  • RaeGun2k Neovagina Evangelion Holiday Special (@RaeGun2k) reported

    @moesmixtapes @Jdanielledoiron Clearly you haven't been following the steady worsening of Skype. Frankly, Teams is the only reason the worsening of Skype slowed down. The morons are too busy breaking that.

  • zcichy Zac Cichy (@zcichy) reported

    @PstarmanUa @danielbessonov Yes, and correcting for delay, fixing a lot of little issues that can come up over a Skype call, and just generally tweaking to sound better.

  • KaMeLPullin KML (@KaMeLPullin) reported

    @fisher_ke I left a "blah blah blah" in a cover letter. Did a Skype interview in blouse, pajama pants, and moose slippers and stood up. This is also part of the process. Every time I hear an employer say, "If they really wanted the job, they wouldn't have made an error," I scream!

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

    Im a nonthreatening feminist boy, come talk to me on Skype! talk to me on skype about your problems as a woman i sympathize i’m taking womens studies. I took women’s studies I know what ‘systematic’ means.

  • ProfJRadisson Brian Montgomery (@ProfJRadisson) reported

    @ergo_praxis @Angry_Cassie I taught "Down Girl" in the most recent feminist philosophy course I had. She was supposed to Skype in with us on the last day of class, but got sick. We've gone over a lot of ideas together too. I think she's the best.

  • NoRistolainen ab (@NoRistolainen) reported

    @Husaria Not sure what the issue is but the console freezes during a game > crashes > then I need to reboot. I noticed it started happening when I’m using voice chat or Skype during a game so I thought it was a RAM issue now it just happens even if I’m not using them and just the game.

  • emma_switch emma switch (@emma_switch) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @SkypeSupport could you please reply to my messages (and my husband who has been trying to get yr help for a month) it s an important issue! i ve been trying to reach out here and on the site . HELP . THIS is not 247 service we re waiting since a month on a reply

  • A_Bomb911 aaron clarke (@A_Bomb911) reported

    If you can have church at 15% then the gym can be at 15%! This Pandemic virus doesn’t give a sh*t if your praying to god! Go pray on f’n YouTube or Skype or some sh*t! It’s a god damn joke that you can still go to church but we have to shut down the rest of the world for 4 weeks!

  • robBEbailey Robby Bailey (@robBEbailey) reported

    @tylerscruggs I used to have to pay for Skype to talk to my ex cause my cell phone service was so trash at my house

  • chikwesirichig1 Jason fresh (@chikwesirichig1) reported

    @ASUUNGR Do they require years to consult it's members...if they need to meet by force there is zoom, Skype even Google meet. So just what exactly is your problem

  • chadcrichton Chad Crichton (@chadcrichton) reported

    @elamin88 (Oh, I'm carrying a beard comb with me a lot more frequently now though - to fix up the mess a bit after I take off my mask. I'm single and live alone though (and I can work from home), and Zoom/Teams/Skype hides a lot of the mess that normally I'd need more effort to address.)

  • athena4lynn Jen 🐶 (@athena4lynn) reported

    Teams/Skype is for quick questions, not for asking me to do things. I am not going to drop everything to babysit your issue. SEND ME A ******* EMAIL.

  • UrquhartDc Farquharson Urquhart (@UrquhartDc) reported

    @olafdoesstuff @Ianblackford_MP There's that whole "land border" issue that Scotland doesn't have, unless it's in Skype? Then there were all of those people who were "shafted" when they were shot or blown up in the Troubles. It isn't always about you, precious.

  • Jillyhar2020 Jilly - Freedom...... 🇬🇧 (@Jillyhar2020) reported

    @BorisJohnson @EU_Commission @vonderleyen Skype...? Teams....? Telephone conference....? Why the actual fluff are you flying there? Oh but wait.....as a "high value" businessman you'd never have to isolate once you get back would you? Outrageous that you're flying there while you've got us fools locked down!

  • CatsAreLoud Astrophic (@CatsAreLoud) reported

    @cl_gamble @minirmorgan @p0ppyfield Yeah, I get it. Actually there is a private service that'll do you an online skype chat and comprehensive diagnosis for about £300, if you have it, but it's not an option I've been able to take yet. I read about it on SallyCat's PDA page on Facebook.

  • Cyberbunbun 🎄☃️❄️Holiday Hare '94❄️☃️🎄 (@Cyberbunbun) reported

    discord needs a startup sound like skype's but the problem is that I don't think it's possible to recreate the skype sound aesthetic in this day and age

  • Dragmorian Julian Leiberan-Titus (@Dragmorian) reported

    @WomenOfDnD @roll20app DnD has been one of my main social interaction this year. We just use a free video call service called Jitsi. Haven't really missed the visuals that much and if on occasion we want to share an image we've just used Skype or email.

  • RocknCarolina sCs (@RocknCarolina) reported

    @blaireerskine “I have enough trouble with Skype” Same George, same.

  • PsalmLucia Psalm (@PsalmLucia) reported

    WHY CANT I FIND SKYPE CALL TESTING SERVICE AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  • chancerubbage chancerubbage (@chancerubbage) reported

    Can’t believe someone is using this cafe for Skype- the WiFi is throttled at 5 down, even less up. Just realized they are probably using purely cellular bandwidth on their iPad.
