  • pseudonymous_me pseudonymous_me (@pseudonymous_me) reported

    For some reason I'm having trouble with #Skype. The test call works, and messages to other skype accounts seems to work. But I'm not able to connect when I try to call phones. Is it just me?

  • MarkSlapinski Mark Slapinski Journalist (@MarkSlapinski) reported

    My biggest issue is getting people to do Skype interviews with me. Everybody I ask for one, doesn't respond, or turns the camera off. That's the missing link. There's a way to do it, I just haven't figured it out.

  • ShadowsWhiskers Shadow's Whiskers (@ShadowsWhiskers) reported

    @TeddyB_cat Oh dear Teddy, I worry so much about my pals in the US with the ever increasing cases. Ours our increasing too I was listening to a weekly Canadian call-in radio program and almost all callers said they were going to Zoom or Skype. I wondered if this will slow down the Internet.

  • lefriquet Tom Paine (@lefriquet) reported

    @yutzupracachia @Oldyssey @bagelpicbot When I speak French my british accent allows me errors not open to native french speakers. These online skype will be full of such 'errors' which will make it interesting for both parties.

    @summerforever21 Ugh I'm so sorry. That must be so difficult. I hope you can at least Skype or video chat with them to help! I've been missing everyone so much but it's such a long time. 😞

  • zilevandamme Phumzile Van Damme (@zilevandamme) reported

    Microsoft Teams, like Skype for Business, collects three types of data about the app: what it calls census data, usage data, and error reporting data.

  • ThatCubeGamer Cube 💫 (@ThatCubeGamer) reported

    @JustLemres oh my god I forgot about skype even through I’m reminded of it literally anytime discord goes down

  • jacqui_james86 Jacqui James 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 (@jacqui_james86) reported

    @Derelict_Enough I like this, its success or otherwise hinges on whether or not I can log into Skype and fully switch off my phone in the one minute I have. ONE thing I do get right, is that I switch off my phone completely (full shut down) for all meetings :) Will give it a whirl 🙏 thanks.

  • kilxler tony (@kilxler) reported

    @XboxP3 @majornelson @Xbox I'm begging at this point for Microsoft to reconsider enabling the Kinect for Skype use on the Xbox Series X via USB adapter. During this pandemic shutting down the Kinect camera to call family members is the wrong thing to do. #Kinect4Skype Please.

  • MichaelKillian1 Michael Killian (@MichaelKillian1) reported

    @guardian Photos of them meeting again🙄 They were on the phone, maybe not even Skype. She has no power to make major concessions and he is incapable of detail. Nothing new will happen. Fishing is just a fig leaf for real conflict on much larger issues. Two visions of economy and culture.

    @cherryquelinda I better not be downloading Zoom. I should have put some money down on this Zoom... I rather stick to Skype

    > They were rescued by Senator Padmé Amidala and a squad of clone troopers, who were sent after Kenobi telepathically contacted the Jedi Temple for help. oh so you CAN force-skype to the temple without having special dyad skills

  • AlenL Alen Ladavac (@AlenL) reported

    @richgel999 Don't they all have EULA that effectively forbids you from using their service directly in a 3rd party software? Haven't checked SNs, but this was how Skype killed the last successful chat federation I was using, back in '00s.

  • AgnesOfTheDogs Agnes (@AgnesOfTheDogs) reported

    I’m in a professional development class via Skype and it’s a guy telling war stories. I *hate* it when instructors do this. Stories are great for illustration, but I don’t need 15 minutes on how this guy’s company solved analysis problem X. 😖😖😖😖😖

  • emilylhauser Emily L. Hauser אלה אסתר (@emilylhauser) reported

    I've been reading to my mom over Skype; when her beloved cousin called today, I cribbed from @JasonIsbell & told him "I'm not sure what it's like to be in that slow-motion minute between living & dead, but I think maybe hearing your daughter's voice must help." I sure hope so.
