    @Skype Hello, there are guest call spam since some days, please fix it.

  • uncl3dumby dumby. (@uncl3dumby) reported

    So, figured I'd give MS365 personal a try. Phew... lots to complain about. Went all-out with a custom domain which was SUPER painful and confusing. They've got a huge problem separating the UX of free/paid users. And apparently you can't disable receiving spam calls on Skype?

    @SportsDirect_CS What a load of bull you have numbers you can call supervisors that can help don't try and pull that old chestnut working from home as we don't know you can easily get in touch with anyone from any department so Skype or zoom isn't used for staff meetings try another excuse

  • fkyesss Emma (@fkyesss) reported

    @GreatKatzby03 @atRiskyVenture Been down this road before when I was a member of several private trading groups on Skype. Not practical for a whole host of reasons which I am too tired to get into again here. But I appreciate the suggestions/sentiment :)

    @jamesdoleman Go on crawl. Crawl1 place drinks in each room in ur gaff, consume in one, move to the next &consume etc. Crawl2 mates online. Sit at PC with cargo. Start in Zoom, logout, login to Teams, repeat with Goto & end on Skype, a dodgy connection replicating the shambles of being pished

  • bot_ghoul GhoulBot (Brain Damaged) (@bot_ghoul) reported

    Innocent-seeming text posted on Xamarin could cause you lots of trouble, due to development of Skype to deduce things about you.

  • CogentSoul SID🇮🇳 (@CogentSoul) reported

    @Microsoft Fix my #skype issue pls. T/s steps are not helping.

  • James_Thorburn James 🌐 (@James_Thorburn) reported

    @Willow__Bella It's so tragic and terrible sad that Toby lost his life so early on his life. It's even more terrible when we can all see that GP's are just not available and even when they are, tjhey only do conference consultations on Skype.

  • pomidorchi K. Barabanoff (@pomidorchi) reported

    With all that endless video conference calls, Apple may introduce a global MUTE MIC hotkey, which works independently of the VC app (Zoom, Teams, Skype,..) and shuts your voice down effectively in #macOS. I have tested a dozen of solutions. None of which works as expected. Ideas?

  • MsMarieMagalie Mistress Marie Magalie (@MsMarieMagalie) reported

    @ukickedmiperro that would make an epic skype session if you're ever down for that

  • _Rbot_ Rooben.avi (@_Rbot_) reported

  • camewitthefetti ethan 🏖 (@camewitthefetti) reported

    @kiwjb5 @Microsoft u should avoid skype that’s probably the issue

  • jaymelbe Ph. D. Jérémie Melchior #SurfaceDuo (@jaymelbe) reported

    @FremyCompany mmh.. ok. Haven't used rooms. That's indeed annoying when that happens. I know there are lots of issues if Skype for business is running. Anyone still using it?

  • mybadauditions julia duffy (@mybadauditions) reported

    @_MichaelGaston So frustrating. I prefer self tapes to being in the room, since the past few years too often a young assistant was the only one in the room, so no help creatively. At least there should be more callbacks by Skype or Zoom with some creatives for feedback.

  • mikaelporttila MIKΛΞL (@mikaelporttila) reported

    @MicrosoftTeams Error message: MA/DeviceManager Active device not found, my microphone works with other apps such as discord in browser, and skype for business, there is something off with your web client. Is there a way to rollback to the old web version?

  • marceschulz Marce (rhymes with farce) (@marceschulz) reported

    @AskCapitalOne CC was compromised & canceled early Dec. You sent new card to my US mail address; never arrived. Sent a 2nd direct to me in Malaysia, never arrived. Nearly 3 months, hours on the phone via Skype and I’m still cardless. Mail not working, need courier. Help!

  • eMeKavelli Status 200 ♓️ (@eMeKavelli) reported

    @lowcostbeans I recorded the Skype call. Man sunny really broke down this C# thing. Watch it and remain blessed.

  • mruef Marc Ruef (@mruef) reported

    Somebody trying to identify my current IP address via Skype for days. And to login to some of my services. Looks like somebody really wants to know what I'm up to. I can tell you: Having fun with the original Game Boy DMG-101 with an IPS screen replacement. Nothing more.

  • bronze_adam Adam Bronze (@bronze_adam) reported

    @TheRock has the video update down pat. I wish I could jump on a Skype call with the team sweaty, shirtless, and out of breathe and provide a big project update then say mahalo and eat 45000 calories.

  • kaylsmoon Kay 🌙✨ (@kaylsmoon) reported

    @EmilyKaitlinnn But he said his camera was broken so I refused to Skype- turns out this account was a 16 year old girl who would watch his new added friends and then as soon as his real account added someone she would immediately friend them on the catfish account so they’d think it was real
