    How support calls feel: "I have this super urgent issue that needs to be fixed now and can't wait" OK can I call you? "mobile is not charged" Skype? "doesn't work" Teams? "don't have it" Email? "can't I'm in meetings all day" OK fine, I'll have to look later "UNACCEPTABLE!"

    22. Discord or Skype. Discord. I used to like Skype and use it quite a bit but I find Discord is much easier and doesn’t slow down my computer the way Skype does

    @XboxSupport Skype keeps on crashing on both of my XSX consoles, I've tried a full factory reset but it still occurs. The Xbox UI slowly becomes unresponsive before the app crashes and occasionally the console shuts itself down.

    Now I am confused, how does blocking someone on Skype to address drama that you cause yourself work? Would it not be better to not block the sensible party and at least talk to them in a civilised manner? Discussion works better than hiding with your problems

    @tomcopsymes @ric_cole Teams/Skype meetings need managing differently. If the boss is chairing, someone else should be monitoring chat: seeing who's having connection issues, identifying points being raised & keeping the chairperson apprised to ensure items don't get missed. Some speak; others type.

    To my dismay, I've learned today that the NHS 119 number will not take Skype calls, and they don't have a public-facing email address. @NHSuk @NHSConfed How am I supposed to get my C-19 vaccine? My doctor's office has failed to correct its error in my birthdate please help

    @DragonAndTheFox It can also lead to kidney issues if someone is forced to "hold it in" or gets into the bad habit. My right kidney does not function well so I just go when I need to. I'm not screwing around with my health because of a zoom/skype/teams meeting.
