@vaficionado @SkypeBusiness @zoom_us It was down yesterday too. Had back to back meetings yesterday which customers set up on Webex and Skype; Webex is so old and takes so long to join, skype just wasn’t working straight up. Love Zoom!!

@MrsWard3 I think I found the issue. It may be a firewall proxy issue that will need my site techs to fix. I played with Skype on my personal computer here at home and had no issues.

My favorite thing that happens at work is when I try to talk to people casually/tell them about my problems on Skype and they just clearly don’t care or don’t even bother to respond at all! I STAN lack of support in the workplace!!!! 🙃

@SA_M21 Skype appts are legit and can decrease people physically going to the doctor when they don’t need to. Always gotta strive for peak healthcare utilization where we only seek care when we need it, and not for issues like the common cold.

@GilWhitedale @chrislhayes These are data-slinging pocket computers now, and too few people care all that much about voice quality for it to be too much of a priority. And increasingly people voice communicate over IP anyhow -- Skype, FaceTime, Duo, etc -- and that's not a carrier issue.

I’ve had my laptop for 1 yr & use it for everything. I went to do a Skype interview- guess what won’t start up! So now I get to spend 1/2 of today @ the store diagnosing it & how much it’s gonna cost to fix instead of the day & a half I finally get to spend with my family. Cool.

@fionapup ...if it's _not_ hardware related, you can have a friend (or even me!) log into your box via Team Viewer, and look at the system's behavior and load together. Add voice chat via Skype or Discord, I'd be up for it, and we might find and or even fix stuff. If it doesn't fix itself!

So apparently, there was some big merger and Skype changed and I had to reinstall. Would have been nice to notify people or have skype auto update when I opened it instead of just giving me that useless error. I don't use skype daily, only every few months with my bff.

@SkypeSupport There was no instslled Skype. I grabbed from the App Store. I solved the issue (kinda) by downloading the Skype Preview installer and running it in Win8 compatibility mode.

@SkypeSupport It turned out to be a bank credit card issue and not Skype, but the support person was very helpful in showing me how to update the payment options. Thanks!

@JermaineJupiter As someone who uses Skype daily for work, I feel like I should have known this. I just never thought of connecting the podcast concept to the service... Lol maybe I’m jus late ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There’s that too 😂

@amandathedevnyc The remote IDE and Skype of a hard whiteboard algo problem was almost as painful as in person... I ended up not talking through the problem at all with the interviewer they even asked if i was still there more than once 😂😂😂

My new Directorate-General has no telephones - everything is done through Skype for Business. I arrived and found my PC doesn't have it, so I emailed the help desk to ask them to install it. The response was predictable. See if you can guess what it was. Answer tomorrow.

I'm hoping @Skype #CustomerService will respond to my DM...This has been an ongoing issue for several days now. I'd like to Skype with my Parents on Sunday but at this rate, another week will go by without the ability to do so. Very displeased. #poorcustomerservice

@MrsWard3 Well, I’m in my classroom at the moment having hooked up a WebCam and I am trying to figure out how to proceed with checking that Skype is going to work. This is a whole new territory for me. You help me out. If you are available to call at 925-768-5045, great.

Dear IT companies, in these days of Skype, Zoom. When everything is done remotely, your insistence on holding face to face interviews makes no sense, unless you are doing a mass recruitment. Half the day is gone driving down and then waiting for the interview.
