  • crumbcake_ crumbcake (@crumbcake_) reported

    @larsmb @groby Sound was never a problem for me until I tried to run Skype/teams. At that point the audio stack transcend the boundaries of mortal understanding and let out a shreak that could shatter bones.

  • ElrondGaming 𝔈𝔩𝔯𝔬𝔫𝔡 𝔊𝔞𝔪𝔦𝔫𝔤 (@ElrondGaming) reported

    @JezCorden There are some companies still use Skype, Internet Explorer, and other ancient services. For that reason, it is hard to remove a service in a short notice.

  • restless_haze Aitchaywy Elliwhy (@restless_haze) reported

    This is also a guy who flat out refused to use Skype chat on our first meeting despite my stating my being hugely uncomfortable with video chat straight away. Previous advisor working for same service had no issue with it.

  • ironbean23 bean (@ironbean23) reported

    the problem is he went ahead and emailed our tw client that "hey we have a new engr we would like you to meet, this engr is independent and can work with minimal guidance" WHEN I SPECIFICALLY SAID IN MY SKYPE MESSAGE THE OPPOSITE THING I SAID THEY STILL CAN NOT WORK INDEPENDENTLY

  • not_so_funny not_so_funny (@not_so_funny) reported

  • jpbutler Jason Butler (@jpbutler) reported

    @simonowens @serendeputy I look forward to the integration with Skype. "You appear to be having trouble with vlookup. Would you like a live 15-minute consult within the next 10 minutes? Buy now for only $95."

    Bruh my friends and I were in discord when it went down and we legit started a zoom room instead Skype? I don’t even know her

  • Aeroplan Aeroplan (@Aeroplan) reported

    @HiteshMankotia Hi Hitesh, as the number 1-514-395-0300 is a local number, you will need to dial the appropriate country code when calling Canada from India; long-distance charges will apply, if it is an issue, you can download the Skype app through a computer and most mobile devices. Luc

    If we can hold all Congressional committee hearings via zoom and Skype can we just close down the capital building and send the NG Troops home? Congress is so useless

  • antion6400 Lovell (@antion6400) reported

    @HarbourHrbr Discord down aye man skype looking real usable atm

  • gonfva Gonzalo Fernandez (@gonfva) reported

    Do you remember Yahoo Pipes? MobuzzTV? How Google was bringing voice and audio and seemed it was going to destroy Skype (and failed to destroy Skype despite the terrible product it is)?

  • ImNspire Synergy Nspire (@ImNspire) reported

    Discord down? who wants to redownload skype?

  • Gabbeano14 🌞Bean🐶 (@Gabbeano14) reported

    @Mbitcoin21 Damn. This is so frustrating. I’ve emailed them and everything. They just won’t reply. I have to look into. Can we Skype tomorrow so you help me out in it?

  • jamesgibbon James Gibbon (@jamesgibbon) reported

    @ben_watt Feel guilty when I read posts like these, because I honestly don't feel locked down. Still work from home, still have my guitars, computer, etc. Learning to play jazz over Skype. Still getting out and doing miles on a bike. I still have the old normal, hope you do too soon.

  • eWanNBG I (@eWanNBG) reported

    @ViberHelp @Zeref03072725 @Viber Is it because of people's security or because of your cost-cutting policy? So others, for example Microsoft do not consider these privacy issues, for having Skype conversations stored on their servers?

  • _Sam_Owens Corner-Desk (@_Sam_Owens) reported

    discord down guess I'll Skype

  • Son0fMogh Jesse Shoghi (@Son0fMogh) reported

    In this day of #zoom #skype and other video conferencing, "tech issues" is the go to excuse for exclusion. "In this world, there are no reasons. Only excuses." #fridaymorning

  • dlag1995 Dan Lagnado (@dlag1995) reported

    Needs to be addressed how Skype fumbled the bag on this pandemic. Had the ball at the 20 yard line and yet Zoom chased them down and forced the fumble before the goal line

  • doucelassie Julie (@doucelassie) reported

    @AshleeMBoyer @Imani_Barbarin Yes, I use Webex, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, and Facebook Messenger with no tech issues. Best captions are on Zoom.
