    @popkornkat Literally sat there all day and night once i returned from university to deal with her. It wasn't fun, was very anxiety heavy. I truly believe she's learnt her lesson after hearing how depressed and down she was from the audio files she sent to me ALOT on Skype.

    I tweeted a good bit about my lack of the ability of navigating the Skype window on the PC. I've just reported the problem. Good thing I could still navigate the settings window.

    @b_altima9876 Oh I'm so sorry, its hard enough but to do it on your own is very overwhelming.. It may help you to be in therapy..i wonder if you can do it skype. Sometimes keeping a journal helps..some. Writing down things..our Lord Jesus is our strength..

  • ItisMoody Mahmoud “Moody” Shabeeb (@ItisMoody) reported

    @SkypeSupport hi, I cancelled my subscription a few days ago, yet it was renewed against my will and the subscription fee was deducted! Please help me get reimbursed, thank you.

  • tazwake Taz Wake (@tazwake) reported

    It's the same with Discord, Skype, teams etc. The signal to noise ratio is often terrible. People rush to speak, rather than think about what is being said. This is a problem of email vs letter, but IRC is worse. Emails are better at storage as well. Records matter.

  • Devindra Devindra Hardawar (@Devindra) reported

    @ElfArcanist Oh I think the key there is I wasn’t over Skype, it was having issues so I piped in via their OBS setup. But yes, thats an SM7B over a Scarlett 2i2, no EQ

    Oh Crap! My computer camera is not working this morning. Oh My how will I skype and zoom?

  • JimBodie1 Jim Bodie (@JimBodie1) reported

    We spent the last year playing D&D over Skype and we dealt with performance issues. The DM got a paid Zoom membership and we're trying that now. So far Zoom is working better. I hope to go back to in person D&D someday.

  • futuristpaul Paul Higgins (@futuristpaul) reported

    @Microsoft You are telling for Skype why not providing teams.noise cansalsation not working properly.we are downloading krisp like that they are free. frustrating from microsoft expecting super apps.

  • BradenHammond3 Braden (@BradenHammond3) reported

    @Sean_Boom @Timcast I have enough integrity to engage face to face with people on issues like this. There’s a reason why I’m using my real name. They tend not to get as out of hand compared to our conversation as well. Discord or Skype call is still open.
