    @GamaBee @AirtelMlw My advice people should use VOIP calls and dump their voice calls completely. VOIP ( voice over internet protocol) includes WhatsApp voice calls, Skype, etc etc the more people know about this Airtel will come down to their knees !

    @jododsley Just about it’s calmed down a bit thank goodness. I have a trapped nerve on my left side & when trying to compensate this morning somehow managed to put back out on the right so feel really decrepit! But A is happy after over 2 hours on Skype with his cousin. How are you all?

    @DrGiesler @LinHumphrey Heh. You had me at ‘(although well...)’. Promise you won’t judge me. I use a Skype headset I bought in Argos in 2018. The ear foam has since perished and the cable is beginning to fray. It’s been a faithful servant (zero audio issues) but I’m due an upgrade.

  • postshaggy PostOnTheToastShaggy (@postshaggy) reported

    @inkphemeral @evoterra This is the correct response. I have a real issue with audio quality, too, so if it's obvious that one person is recording a Skype call, I lose immersion.

    @niallthebigdeal @XboxSupport Yep. I’m pretty sure the webcam is supposed to work since most Logitech webcams are supported. There’s just an issue with Xbox and the Twitch app, since I’ve seen people’s camera working for Skype and other apps, but not Twitch.

    @SkypeInsider It looks like Skype 8.69.76.21 (Insider) made the big jump to the latest Electron version. Unfortunately, the problem is still there. Is it not related to the Electron API after all, or has the work just not been done on it yet despite the current Electron version?
