  • LemonyBirdy Lemon 𓅇 𓅊 (@LemonyBirdy) reported

    @coconutIatte There is a person on here that frequents ads for proana coaches, he asks for the Skype of people promising to help them ❌- Tw ahead I’ve heard from a few victims of him that he’ll prompt them to undress infront of him and manipulate them. It’s sickening 😕

  • JamesCraigmyle James Craigmyle (@JamesCraigmyle) reported

    @alk2001 @Skype @zoom_us It’s not when they are young that they show the issues from jumping and acting out of control. It’s when they get older and they can’t get around

  • stew_sc stew (@stew_sc) reported

    @welshmadam Oh. He needs a slap then. Used to have a Greek lodger who’d Skype like he was shouting for help from an abandoned well. He lasted 3 months before I’d had enough!

  • joycemcm joycemcmillan (@joycemcm) reported

    Hi @TalkTalk. My @TalkTalk broadband service in central Edinburgh has lost 95% of its speed in the last 24 hours, and can no longer sustain Zoom and Skype meetings, which are essential for my work. Can you help, and if so how fast?

  • KingSirKraze 👑SirKraze (@KingSirKraze) reported

    @KingCar56616235 yeah, been steady on My skype list for while not sure how long couple months maybe more. I lose track of time easily. First interaction, I wasn't down the method of $ he was using. Then is steady climbed to deeper begging and desperation, LOL! Then the head came off, BOOM delete.

  • arztotskan_man TheFloridaMan (@arztotskan_man) reported

    @Gizmodo no facebook no problem. since 2017 I have not regretted choice even once. and still in touch with family, phonecalls, text, skype, email

  • jeffinitelyjeff jeff “irregardless defender” ruberg (@jeffinitelyjeff) reported

    I've had so many recording issues (wrong input, very echo-y room, other side of the call picked up on mic, etc) and every time skype's auto processed recording was 10x better than any fix I was able to do by struggling with fancy, expensive tools for hours

  • nobeardbailey apex loser (@nobeardbailey) reported

    Breaking my Twitter hiatus to report that the clients I’ve added on Skype for telehealth are using it to send me COVID conspiracy theory tiktoks at 1:42 AM and I need help

  • seesthedanger SteveO (@seesthedanger) reported

    @TriciaBarker49 @JohnCCoupar Yes and right away I found it more user friendly than Skype which I used a lot a decade ago. I got my desktop camera going but the picture is awful and I can't find out how to fix it. I'm using Windows 10.

  • Kar_melo Karmelo (@Kar_melo) reported

    I’m legitimately learned how to be a doctor ONLINE. via Skype and zoom. Isn’t that wild? half of my day is spent email questions to my profs or handling technical issues. The skill of diagnosis comes secondary and IM STILL PAYING FULL PRICE jokes on me. El oh el.

  • mithos343 Mithos (@mithos343) reported

    Anonymous sources are telling me that I should give my account to Rahm Emanuel and that Rahm Emanuel is a "strikingly beautiful man" and that I am "uglier than dirt." I've blocked them on Discord, on Skype, on Facebook, and now they're texting my dad with fake pictures. Help??

  • Niecy_NoNash Big Niec (@Niecy_NoNash) reported

    So I just had a meeting with my supervisor via Skype. She said even though were working from home our phones should be face down. Lol no.

  • mancunianmedic david oliver (@mancunianmedic) reported

    Hancock's down the line Skype/Zoom interviews look like he is broadcasting from a canal narrow boat where there has been a bloody massacre and he is trying to cover up the evidence by plastering framed photos and pics all over the wall in the hope that no-one will notice

  • ShawnnMichael ♏️ (@ShawnnMichael) reported

    I'm trying to login to everything I am not emails are uploading now my Skype contacts are loading so my manager says I think you need to update your password so I'm like OK makes sense right I have an updated it in a long time it's probably what it is....

  • shit_rock future of the (left) (@shit_rock) reported

    hey THE INTERNET! a much beloved relative of mine has issues making/receiving video calls on Skype/similar and it SURE WOULD BE GOOD to see them occasionally. My questions - (1) is the Echo Show stupid simple to operate and (2) is there a decent alternative?

  • ThatNeilMartin Prof Neil Martin (@ThatNeilMartin) reported

    @banalyst For their teaching- and we've still been teaching, and doing more of it and in a way that supports students. I've had so many Skype tutorials, they've virtually moved in. Rents is a separate issue (and not part of tuition fees)

  • gglockner Greg Glockner (@gglockner) reported

    These days, seems like I only login to Skype to send "Hello world" to my mobile in order to prevent my credit from expiring.

  • BoneJeni Bone(anti-fascist)Jeni (@BoneJeni) reported

    @LesStonehouse Who are they? My Grey Boomer parents (80s) use their PC (albeit basically) and communicate with family around the world via Skype. They CAN do better, they're just comfortable with Jones, Bolt et al - which is the issue.

  • tsuyaninami Pita✨ (@tsuyaninami) reported

    I really just had to tell an adult AT WORK to calm down and learn how to communicate with people properly, through a company skype message. *****, who are you using caps lock at? LMAO! Let’s correct this behavior now, ***.

    @JamesCraigmyle @Skype @zoom_us I just said to my son that I wish we could have a trainer come to the house! This may be the next best thing seeing as I don’t live near you. Need help with my very needy 1 year old.
