    @koopadoll Still better than former dark ira land on the *** of the worl in a country that had an agenda on not letting trans people transition. (my wife has to use a UK Dr on Skype and the blood tests are denied by any Irish Dr) and a plethora od other medieval problems.

    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?

  • stevencrouch211 Steven (@stevencrouch211) reported

    @SkyNews Use zoom or Skype there problem solved, if we can have people attend there trails & sentencing virtual then we can do the same for appeals.

  • Tiff_JPR JPR Tiffin (@Tiff_JPR) reported

    @LloydsBank any plans for alternative means of authentication? Like encrypted online messaging e.g. WhatsApp? The change came in while I've been away. Spent a long time with your helpful customer services by Skype but they were unable to help so I can't manage accounts as hoped😑

  • selenadee_ Selena ♊️ (@selenadee_) reported

    I really wanna put my comment on Skype at work to read “leave me alone” but I know they will ask me to take it down right away 😪

  • frankrietta Frank S. Rietta (@frankrietta) reported

    @chrissanders88 Dang...this is absolutely why I set a PIN and wrote it down & shared with other caregivers for our 86 year old grandfather for his new iPad. I tried setting it to have no login (threat modeling given his use case of Skype). 100% he would lock himself out.

  • NathanaelB Nathanael Coyne (Nat) (@NathanaelB) reported

    @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.

  • hongkongpauly Paul Robbins (@hongkongpauly) reported

    @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.

    if it's 2020 and your company still uses skype for ANYTHING you should be shut down and fined $1 billion i ******* hate skype i stg

  • thomasjo Thomas Johansen (@thomasjo) reported

    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.

    @sanbarrow Hello... I need some help please. I have contacted you by skype. I have reinstalled esxi on datastore partition and lost 3tb of data

  • CliffPierce14 Southern Traveller (@CliffPierce14) reported

    @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

    @TrueKofi @BraunStrowman Hey guys.....i do a podcast called Buck The System. What program do you guys use to go live and what service do you use? Right now we use ECamm along with the use Skype or Zoom. We dont like it though. Any advice? Btw: we're on spotify as well

  • EnglishPHour English Power Hour (@EnglishPHour) reported

    @SkypeSupport Is there a problem with Skype today? I have been having some serious problems. Program crashing, no voice, no cam.. dropping calls. Is anyone else having the same issue?

  • MigraineGoddess 🅱️enedryl 🅱️ussysnatcher (@MigraineGoddess) reported

  • PwnySlaystation Modus Pwnens (@PwnySlaystation) reported

    @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

    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.

  • DrHughMore Adem (@DrHughMore) reported

    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

  • achyutha Achyutha (@achyutha) reported

    @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.

  • Gems__Fox Gemma ⌨️ (@Gems__Fox) reported

    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.

  • Roberta54935398 Real with Robo (@Roberta54935398) reported

    @herewegokids7 Stop it! Stop right now don't you dare start this nonsense. You're around my age I'm betting, maybe younger. So let's do what our parents taught, we've got problems posed to us. 1. Skype/zoom the fam dinner with the quarantined. 2. God spake " where there they are gathered (Cont)

  • SredanovicDj Djordje Sredanovic (@SredanovicDj) reported

    @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.

  • Rosco95410926 Tylerdurden (@Rosco95410926) reported

    @NASA I can't even get a Skype or Zoom call to work properly on earth two blocks away....but in 1969 they had a live feed to the moon 384,000 + km away and no problems with barely a delay at all. With photos better than what we can take today on earth! Bullshit.
