    I sent my Skype handle to a few of these youngsters and they were all, "Oh, I guess I can install that, no problem!" Felt like I'd sent them my fax number.

    @Microsoft , hi MS, I am facing many issues while using TEAMS. I feel it is very substandard product released by MS. Skype for business was superior product u withdraw. Do something.

    @SKYserves what's with the restricted service? Unable to connect to Skype, a lot of websites and apps not loading. Works fine if I enable VPN. Please fix ASAP, it's greatly affecting my work. No reply to my DM as well.

  • tjohn6041 Tyler John (@tjohn6041) reported

    @Aviation_Intel That's more of a Chrome issue. It seizes pretty much all available resources. Does that on pretty much any computer. Teams and Skype are so other programs like that that just gobble your resources.

  • spinnetho Thomas juhl Olesen (@spinnetho) reported

    Anybody else experiencing Outlook mobile swtiching to SKYPE-meeting, as default provider instead of Teams after Mondays issues in Azure ? @MicrosoftTeams

  • WritingFactory Jeffrey Robinson (@WritingFactory) reported

    Anyone ever try to get a refund from @SkypeSupport? No phone number to speak with a human. Customer service denies money is due (after others promised the refund) then they lie that it's been paid, after which they simply go away to ignore the problem. They lie! Inexcusable.

  • ryuugonana 竜後ナナ💵🐲 MILFY MANGLERS『KAITEKI LIVE 』 (@ryuugonana) reported

    @TheGreatKaitsu Back during Skype Era S*ndy had used that word in a private call when referring to Natii when I told her I wasnt interested in her and was dating Natii. She called her that word and at the time I didnt know it was even derrogatory until later down the road so it *is* possible.

  • subiectiv Alex (@subiectiv) reported

    Hey Mac people, got an issue with my LG Ultrafine camera, it stopped appearing in facetime/skype/etc. options after some macOS update. Display and sound work fine, no webcam though. “sudo killall VDCAssistant” doesn’t fix it. Any ideas? cc @AppleSupport

  • GanzoVEVO Ganzo (@GanzoVEVO) reported

    @FoxWithGuitar I remember hearing about Zoom and thinking "that is a terrible name for a video calling platform and we already have discord, skype, etc anyways, hopefully it doesn't catch on" And now that I've had to use it I hate it even more, god it has so many awful design decisions

    The job listing I applied to doesn't show in my LinkedIn history because it was probably taken down/reported. I got as far as messaging the "Senior Recruiter" on Skype. It took only 46 minutes for "the board" to decide on hiring me.

  • JulietChappell Juliet Chappell (@JulietChappell) reported

    @SpotlightUK Is anyone else having trouble with today’s 1-to-1’s with Rebecca Wright? I’m say on Skype but my slot was 25 mins ago. If she’s running late then that’s fine, but I’m worried I’ve not done something I should have..!
