@RonakGopaldas The main issue was a pathetically un-userfriendly front end. I don’t know anyone that did not struggle every time they tried to use Skype.

@ishrutidwivedi Skype will be replaced by teams. Microsoft will slowly take down Skype by next year... hence no development

@RosieThoni @KellyStanze Microsoft stopped support Skype about 6 months ago and we converted to Teams. So much better (but not without its issues).

@merket @LauraCatPJs Key word there is “was”. Loved Wunderlist and used all the time. Tolerate MSFT To Do because I need a decent Task list Skype WAS also great but quickly went down hill. This is a terrible idea for TikTok but great for someone building a competitor

I've waited since 10 june for first available legal video link with a client in wandsworth. Told just now (afternoon before said visit) that he's been moved to Brixton. Only told as WE called them to chase the missing Skype link. The whole system is broken and disjointed.

@AlboMP & @ScottMorrisonMP ... why can’t you go digital? The rest of the world is working from home. Why can’t you? I’m sure ZOOM or SKYPE or FACEBOOK would be happy to help. And there’s the @abcnews service you can take over too. Transparency is vital

@WBA set up a public zoom/Skype call for the public to witness the dressing down Bilic is about to give that squad. Promotion in our own hands and it’s been thrown away. Joke.

@ms_tor I had a 2 hour Skype meeting where we live edited a document with everyone collaborating, I thanked everyone for their help, turned round to grab my cold coffee, turned back to see the blue screen of death. I almost cried.

@LUBOttom @bodmansjaxs That's disgusting, it may help to download skype, if you have decent internet available, I always use it when calling numbers that charge a lot, usually it comes out much cheaper.

@jptrthndr Microsoft gave up any rights to MSNBC years ago. I’ve seen people using Skype and Zoom; but there are security issues with zoom. I haven’t seen anyone using gotomeeting. 2020 not only has a pandemic exposing issues its exposing our cruddy cyber broadband as well.

@TheWrestlingPo2 @NishGuy @goodbadwrestle Click on the drop down menu and put it on your USB mic. Also, go into Windows settings and change the default Communication device to your usb mic because Skype, Audacity etc tend to revert back to default periodically.

@UnaMullally We three children paid tribute to our mother who died, in a conveyor belt 20 minute cremation service, no priest we could un-cocoon, her siblings watching us do the service ourselves on Skype as we were hurried along, the ushers eager to get the next lonely family group in

@usconsmontreal @StateDept @TravelGov Is there any possibility of conducting the immigration visa interviews through video call (Skype)? I assume it would help on speeding the process and riding away with the backlog you may have now.
