  So this is ****. Home phone line down. Our TV is through Amazon fire. Mobile coverage in corner of one bedroom only. So no internet, no TV, no phone calls, no Zoom or Skype. And a wife and 4yo at home for Christmas in lockdown. And @SkyUK can't send an engineer until Dec 27.

  @jaxzin @slashfilm Sorry we had major tech issues and had to resort to Skype so we don’t have separate tracks to adjust

  @CStewartSHS Terrible year. Perhaps if you plan Xmas dinners for the same time you could join together via Skype. Can’t pull the crackers together but you could share the jokes. It will be a different Christmas for many but for many no change. So many people on their own. X

  Anyone have an @elgato wave 1 or 3 and uses Wave Link know how to hook up Skype to it? Having issues where I THOUGHT it was hooked up correctly (Skype outputting to the voice chat channel through the app settings) but the audio wasn’t coming throughout OBS once I got on a call.

  @TalkTalk as promised: just got a message saying Skype has used loads of mobile data. But I was on WiFi surely? Nah, it cut out. I now only have 300mb of data left until the 18th of Jan. That's been 1.7GB in 2 days because your service is awful.

  @sturdyAlex We’re quite lucky in that I’m a scientist so I’ve been preparing my family for a Skype Christmas since summer, but I am so angry for all the people who Johnson mislead with his false hope. You need to be able to trust the prime minister and he’s let the country down so so badly🤬

  l*cus and the counselor’s late night one on one Skype calls are like… such a blatant cry for help but l*cus definitely doesn’t see it as that and either way it doesn’t matter bc he’s crawling to someone who built a career out of psychological manipulation and exploitation lmao

  @blithesoul_ @kanupriiya Skype for business, but it's going to be shut down in 2021

  @RogerJBaker No issues whatsoever. You can't even tell that Rosetta is translating native Intel apps. Most of my apps are basic, though: the suite of Microsoft Office apps, Notion, Spotify, Todoist or Things 3, Zoom, Skype, Dropbox, Adobe Acrobat, Lightroom, etc.

  @RedDragon2008 @JediMVP Was it really saving the day? He could have showed up himself and defeated Kylo Ren. Instead he Skype calls in and dies. The most jedi thing Luke could have done was actually leave to go help when Rey said "Bruh empire back, your sister needs help."

  @smokie62smokie Skype seems to be one that everyone has. For me there always seems to be a glitch on Zoom. People forget to turn on video, microphones or can’t figure out how to join the chat

  And if you're complaining that Christmas is cancelled, boo ******* hoo! Stay home and adapt to the changes. Last time I checked, Skype / Zoom were still in service, take advantage of it.

  Hey you guys! (@thepolishpen) reported 57 minutes ago

  @RoninSamTripoli Who is responsible for Zoom’s swift takeover of video communication? It was overnight. I work for a large co. (a Business Roundtable member) and they wasted no time dumping Skype. It was odd because it was right on the heels of all the reports of Zoom’s terrible security flaws.

  Since I no longer came, I closed down the Skype that I used to use for cam shows. People kept messaging me on there and I just dont have time to respond when I havent cammed in almost a year

  so how did I get in touch with people? I had iPad that was only used at home to have a Skype call with family in Indonesia. And luckily that American are very very obedient when making appointments, so not having a cellphone was not a big problem.
