I had a problem with my desktop and the IT guy skype-ed me to ask about it and he asked for my phone number. And I gave him my cellphone number. He is actually asking for my extension number (if any). 🙃 Never been so stupid I-

@SkypeSupport Let‘s hope for it. As I said it is a very important form of communication for her. She was lost when it happened. And she cannot fix it herself. We will not update because she cannot cope with changes. It is important that all the buttons are at their place.

God grant me the confidence of Skype for Business assuming I want it to open on login.

@mynlcorner Maybe you can skype in @MotherofPups while the plumber is there and he can walk her through a fix for her plumbing issue

@joshtweeterson Not sure if it’s the stream or your remote connection, but there is definitely a sound issue. Distorted, cutting in & out. Kind of sounds similar to when Skype acts up.

Highlight of my day was when IT had to remote in and view my desktop and I forgot he was watching and sent my manager a skype message saying “he has no clue” My issue did not get resolved and I’m not at all surprised why 🙂

@MyNameIsGaron None of this is how it is always gonna be. Def worth talking about this to someone and saying it out loud. The Skype door is open (can’t help with the time difference though). 😂

@BodenLab @AcademicChatter @Skype I mean I have no problem with it but since everything is updating and adopting to the trends, skype is still where it was years ago. Just doesn’t seem right to be using it in era of now.

@3SwordStyle83 @ThatGuyWhoTips @MarzGurl The response post was sorry you felt that way and posted a half assed redacted Skype chat where CA was discussing a similar issue. Unfortunately the un redacted time codes showed that this was when JW left the network. That's when his friends found out.

Hey Adobe audition nerds! Im trying to record by Skype and gchat and I’m using the Scarlett mini studio. I can only record into adobe using soundflower but can’t hear anything. All I want is to go on gchat, hot record and get sound from both us to to record a podcast. Help!

@garicgymro @DingemanseMark @ProfSimonFisher I do this too. I don't always use the most accurate words in a Skype interview. But everything that isn't "Brown said 'XYZ'" is the journalist's problem. Most writers accept this condition, but some don't, sometimes due to their outlet's policy, which seems anti-fact checking.

@AGlasgowGirl @CCriadoPerez Sorry to learn - unsure as to the reason why your visa was refused, but thankfully,you can provide a live video feed overseas using free resources such as FaceTime,Skype,Periscope,Twitter, Facebook etc . My Gaelic surname also presents problems to the AI Visa Processing System.

Hey @blogtalkradio I’ve been trying to get support for weeks, but I’m still having issues using direct connect with one of the mics you even suggested. Considering I pay every month for my show, I hope someone gets back to me with a fix. My last few shows sound awful w/o Skype 😣

@4ndyman Well, taking a picture is a good start! That counts for something. And I’m happy to help at any point. Heck, we could even chat over Skype video and we could walk through the major features and such—or whatever might work for you. (Or if that’s not your thing, that’s okay too.)

@Jim_Stone12 @CONDESCENDANT @rockdaboatNL I guess his going over there will frighten them into hurrying it up. Why not stay home, sit on his arse, and use Skype. If you were an electrical engineer at MF ,your problem is you were and maybe still are afraid to think. Your concrete block is on its way.

Got my flight delayed two hours on the way to a job down in Cardiff which meant I had to do a Skype interview for another job in the airport. Buuuut didn't happen because somebody broke one of the doors going out of baggage and we got blocked in for half an hour.

A friend who’s an innovation person at pharma says it’s worse for them because everyone thinks they are a tech expert because they use Facebook sometimes. They are also confused with IT and are asked to fix Skype or email problems
