  • trinigawd trinigod (@trinigawd) reported

    Skype, Viber & Wickr are terrible recommendations in this context actually. Allo still exists?

  • NewRandomGeek They Call Me Ralph (@NewRandomGeek) reported

    @TheCriticalDri2 He "Force Kicked" him. Lucas was "Subverting Expectations" and found ANOTHER undocumented Force (UNLIMITED) POWAH like Force Skype, Force Heal and Force Resurrection From The Dead. Now the Reylos should quiet down since we're using the same rules they do.

  • HCouple96 Horny&BiCouple (@HCouple96) reported

    Would absolutely love to video call with a hot milf on Snapchat or Skype and shoot my ******* for them. That would be so much fun if any hot women are down for it. Let me know x

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

  • _gemini67_ René ☥ 🇨🇭 🏍 🕊 (@_gemini67_) reported

    @pati_gallardo Or you can use someone else's machine to call support via Skype because you don't have any physical phones anymore, and your own computer/Skype is not working.

  • DeVizardofOZ Prof. Michael O. Z. (@DeVizardofOZ) reported

    @Skype Sounds great, but could you please fix all the bad programming on SKYPE, after buying the platform! You cluttered a good thing with MS junk! Did Bill Gates ask you to do it?

  • raniaakhter18 Rania (@raniaakhter18) reported

    May be IK should address the Hazara agitators through Skype etc. Discuss the problems. #BehindYouSkipper

  • RoCkChAlK2015 wade myers (@RoCkChAlK2015) reported

    @JoRo_NFL I like a 3 of them, but that being said I’d like to see them invertview more if it’s over Skype, and the final 5 should be brought in for interviews in person with a clear plan to fix the broncos. See who gives a blanket statement and who does their homework.

  • KDN1692 Kyle Nuss (@KDN1692) reported

    physically draining over a period of time. I also like that the show is jumping thru the timeline and touching on events that have happened thruout the pandemic. Even the skype calls themselves arent terrible and work for the format. It doesnt ruin the feel of the show.

  • Kjonge Kasper de Jonge (@Kjonge) reported

    @sql_williamd @sqldbawithbeard @cl it is so confusing, you need to load Team no you need to load skype for business, error error ! If this doesn't work, I am going to look for some old contacts in Office and get mad.

  • Amethyst_Hypno 🎙 Amethyst Hypnosis CHt ³¹³ (@Amethyst_Hypno) reported

    @AlwaysAgree2 I've stayed there MANY times, and have even had Skype phone sessions with no issues. My boyfriend has conducted conference meetings, etc with no problems. But this morning, I couldn't even open my emails. I suspect they downgraded wifi to save costs, and it sucks!

  • Branch300BPM Branch Predictor (@Branch300BPM) reported

    @Skype The fact that I need to look for it is a problem alone. Another thing is that updates are forced and are installed the very next time I start Skype - very unpleasant experience especially there's no way to control it.

  • SuperlativeMik Rev. Mike Will (@SuperlativeMik) reported

    @KingCarlye Lmaooo I’m not trying to watch this Skype+ battle. ****** be having mad technical issues too.

  • Danielw107 Daniel W (@Danielw107) reported

    Hey boys once again I don’t work for @saucytimedotcom no more they won’t take my profile pics down and I’ve asked them too. Please guys from the U.S stop calling my phone all hours of the morning when I am asleep it’s rude! You if you want a call pay for Skype!!

  • GThefinalflash Christopher Giblin (@GThefinalflash) reported

    @caro While Zoom/Facetime/Skype can take the edge off it is still akin to taking an aspirin for a broken leg.

  • tari_coffee Tariro Coffee (@tari_coffee) reported

    @NetOneCellular Hello guys, so I replaced my old line with a new one because I wanted 4G speeds, unfortunately, I am still not getting those, I have to ask for my siblings' Netone sim cards for skype calls etc. Can I get some help?

  • marythetrainer Ma Bailey's Telephone (@marythetrainer) reported

    @Skype is the devil. I have upcoming meetings and tried to create an account. I couldn't read the stupid challenge dominos quickly enough so clicked through HUNDREDS of them. No way to get help, no way to get a new challenge. What a piece of crap, Microsoft!

  • ChrisWithTheBat Chris King (@ChrisWithTheBat) reported

    @danjconn Ooh, Sympathy - Skype's not letting me sign in (on-prem issue) and my mobile's just bricked irself. Yeah, the one with the authenticator app on it :(

  • geekingthething Els (@geekingthething) reported

    I'm having issues with report builder: it keeps crashing on me and giving the most useless error messages, so I screenshotted the last one and send it to my manager over Skype-chat. And then he emailed me: the screenshot of the error made his skype freeze... 🥲

  • forkboy84 Камерон (@forkboy84) reported

    @MMAanalytics @heynottheface It should be illegal to go on a Zoom/Skype/whatever other service call without having a high enough resolution so I can go through the book shelf book by book. That'd be my first law passed as God King of the World

  • AdamMaguire Adam Maguire (@AdamMaguire) reported

    @Mark_Coughlan @edmundheaphy Could be a couple of issues there - some guests come in via TieLine while others may be on FaceTime Audio, WhatsApp Audio, Skype etc. Some are more reliable than others. Their own connection could also play a part - and if they get a call while on air it can cause a wobble.

  • RachelSRich Rachel Rich (@RachelSRich) reported

    @BryanBanksPhD At my work we have Skype for Business. It is terrible.

  • jugurthahadjar Jugurtha Hadjar (@jugurthahadjar) reported

    @saifrahmed @SlackHQ @stewart It may be because it's the most obvious "complementor", not the most obvious non-competitor. Skype picks up right where Slack drops off for the free tier: video calls with multiple people. Similar to getting down from the metro and hopping on a tram for non multimodal companies.
