@z_rose @trib It's almost certainly not a security issue and more likely a bandwidth and network performance thing so it wouldn't matter if it were Zoom, WebEx, Skype, or Teams.

One of the big hurdles is a general lack of proper support for GNU/Linux in popular (collaborative) software such as Skype, Teams, Slack. None of these have decent support for screen sharing, etc, which has made the whole WFH experience more terrible than necessary.

@PhdAmaka Have been doing phone, Skype, Zoom or whatever the interviewee prefers, in part since before the pandemic. As others who have already answered I always use the physical recorder. Have to confess that any option can have some limits - connections falling down or having bad audio.

If you know someone who is going to be alone then please give them some of your time. A ten minute chat through a window. A plate of Christmas dinner. Help them set up a Skype link to a friend. Pull a cracker with them or sing them a Christmas song.

@catovitch Yeah... And they've ruined Skype for Business too, by "integrating" it into Teams. At work we used Skype for Business and have been piloting teams. We were all pretty excited for the extra features, but it's terrible. We all hate it now after using it for a while

@RDXThinksThat @India_1st If you get a paid Skype subscription, you can make international calls to mobile and fixed lines without having to pay international call rates. You cannot make emergency service calls though.

@JamesTateHill I agree with what everyone is saying here, and what you are saying, about striking a balance. I will 100% skype into a friend's class because they've assigned my story, or issues of the lit mag my students edit. But I would want to get paid to be a visiting writer for the uni.

If you're a doctor, it could be helpful to contact Az MoD to volunteer some part-time service, in case they need it in your area of specialization. There are never too many experienced doctors. Even if over Skype/Zoom, consultations and meetings could be of big help. #Azerbaijan

@TheRandyKetch *She swallows down her feelings and tries to dry her eyes discreetly.* I'm always with you, Randy. *She points at her heart.* Besides, it's not like we won't see each other again. Can't forget phones and skype exist. I just... I can't be the reason you don't find happiness.

@finn188 @charliekirk11 Over 2% die from the virus 14% will have ongoing respiratory and pulmonary issues Agree with what you say about social distancing and masks. But there are too many people headed to airports at present to spread it Giving it a miss and calling via Skype would be better this year

Part of me is sick already of “haha what a tough year! But at least we’re all in this together! Skype turkey time!” Can we just admit it sucks and is broken and that’s okay too?

@Sidowski I've just come off a Skype call from a supplier in China, its 'normal' there now. But they locked down very hard, in a democracy that level couldn't happen. Its also people that spread the virus, not the government, if people took the rules more seriously we'd be better off.
