    @thepagey @bermicourt @SO2portaloos DE&S have been good here. You can sign for IT equipment to take home - keyboards, mice, monitors etc to make home working easier. But I agree, a contribution to connectivity would be good. I’ve had to upgrade my router to help minimise dropouts on Skype calls.

    What confounds me is that all 3 cameras can be selected in other applications (Skype, Discord, etc.) so I can confirm each camera is properly connected and capable of being utilized in an application. So why is it that OBS is having trouble getting them to display?

    @Skype @MicrosoftAyuda @Skype until when do they keep stealing from me? I stopped using it more than a year agomy TC is expired and the new one is not activated, but Skype keeps charging me monthly.All attempts to fix this have been in vain.The last thing they told me was that my card has been cloned.

  • Gib335 Richard Allen (@Gib335) reported

    @Skype After responding to an update request I can no longer log into Skype on my laptop. It says there is problem (startup load error) logging in/out there is no joy. Reloaded no effect. The same update is waiting on my desktop but I’m reluctant to execute it. Any ideas please.

    @cherriebIossoms @jediqueenie @snapchatsupport It‘s ridiculous. Having that problem with Skype. It’s so bad cause it comes back to us and users think it’s really me who betrays them. :/

  • btwnthestacks Between the Stacks, MLIS (@btwnthestacks) reported

    @1Lavishone That’s a good system! Series and author is also a good one. But everyone seems to be shelving for Zoom/Skype now with the color grouping. I want to jump through the screen and fix it!

    @SkypeSupport I work for a government virtual meeting company and a client of mine is having trouble with a panoramic view being constantly at the bottom of the meeting. Please could you advise.

    @dlee_code Hi, wondering if you can help please, I have tried installing both jaws alert manager scripts and skype scripts and jaws 2021 doesn't pick them up, insert q doesn't report what it should for successful installation.

    @SkypeSupport My videos are being recorded without any sound. The problem started yesterday.

  • rhetorician Danielle Clarke (@rhetorician) reported

    @SilviaCalo Looks like Skype might be targeted instead of some other issues!! Wow

  • branwene Branwene 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 (@branwene) reported

    @feckitdotcom @galahadlake I know, it's important- trouble is both my husband and I are quiet, not big socialisers so we have to make an effort or they lose out. They do Skype etc but son's friends don't seem to be around.

  • MattRosoff Matt Rosoff (@MattRosoff) reported

    @Ryan_Browne_ @jimmy_wales I was just thinking: There were plenty of decentralized software apps long before the blockchain was conceived - Skype, Napster, the original ICQ (I think?). Using the b-word might help with fundraising though.

  • reyaaz0 Reyaaz Karjieker (@reyaaz0) reported

    @SkypeSupport Thank you, we've managed to sort out the issue. Uninstalled the application and reinstalled on the Desktop. Using Windows 10 Home. We are using the free version.

  • cai_mito caimito (@cai_mito) reported

    @SkypeSupport The latest update on Mac has completely broken Skype on my computer, I can't even get logged in. I've already uninstalled/reinstalled several times. Can you please help? I use Skype for work. Thanks.

    If you’re in the business of giving free help to unknown researchers that are giving you 0day because “they trust you”, consider not relying on encrypted zip files. Validate your other party. Phone, video, Skype, authenticated encrypted communication. Not a ZIP file by email.

    @YankowskyD @PUNISHEDASH Sadly the pandemic killed it because we were playing it IRL. That said, I'd 100% be down with repurposing it for an online game with a bunch of comrades over skype or google hangouts or something.

  • casmith638 Cameron Smith (@casmith638) reported

    @British_Airways i need to change my flight next week, but as its cheaper it says I have to call the service centre to do so. I don't have access to a phone to call a UK number - is there an alternative way to do this via skype/mail/DM

    @SkypeSupport The latest update on Mac has completely broken Skype on my computer, I can't even get logged in. I've already uninstalled/reinstalled several times. I can get logged in on Skype for web though. Can you please help? I use Skype for work. Thanks.

    @HolyJose2391 I’m down. Don’t have Skype but zoom for sure.

  • MightiestBeard [ominous ****] (@MightiestBeard) reported

    Still wild to me that Zoom is what people flocked to when the **** hit the fan. The service in which two people talking overlaps and sounds like a car crash, then loses any and all packets thereafter. It's wild. Literally every other service is better. SKYPE is ******* better...

    Im a nonthreatening feminist boy, come talk to me on Skype! talk to me on skype about your problems as a woman i sympathize i’m taking womens studies. I took women’s studies I know what ‘systematic’ means.

  • ednapurviance Linda Wada (@ednapurviance) reported

    Just found out my years of using Skype is no more. It's gone totally dead. Thanks, Microsoft, for killing a very low cost service that was great for what I needed it for, and have no easy way to replace. I needed basic, not 'high energy eating' bells and whistles. :-(

  • jinseiwastep plum♡follower of chisakiism (@jinseiwastep) reported

    would anyone be willing to skype me for like 2 minutes to see if theres a problem with my computer or just with zoom
