  • Skooked I've gone Feral. Factotum (@Skooked) reported

    @jackge Skype issues were why I dumped them years ago. Can only suggest a few "see ifs ": You have a blue tooth, typically headset conflict , ie, is your head set or headphones not in use, but connected because . it's "on"? If your phone or tablet is in a changer.

    Tech folks: Skype sees my mic but no one can hear me. ALL other apps mic works just fine. Even Web Skype. Anyone have this issue? How to fix? (Also, Echo test call doesnt hear me either.)

    @debramason8652 If the rioters had heeded the restrictions and maybe stayed at home no riot and no Covid spread. Are you prevented from praying at home couldnt you Skype your religious service?

  • JubalBarca James Baillie (@JubalBarca) reported

    "Literally not possible. I don't think specific person even has time/spoons to Skype because of the doom workload." "Well that's your fault for not being a better friend and solving all their problems." "Oh, oh dear..." And then my petulant misfiring neuron sack goes Sad.

  • orlandofootguy Footsub not finsub (@orlandofootguy) reported

    Hey guys! My feet followers: do any of you want to help me c*m today to your feet? Message me if you want to help. I'm looking for a c2c session on skype, cb, or whatever.

  • MManton Michael Manton (@MManton) reported

    @BBCBreaking Shut the boarders for 3 months. We don't need to travel Skype ext can do all online close it down get us inoculated

  • Nightmewr C3S4RMEW (@Nightmewr) reported

    People don't understand that if something is "free" you have to pay with something else than money, the same way that whatsapp collects data, telegram, signal, messenger, skype or any other app that you can think off, collects data. If the service is free, YOU are the product.

  • john_w_cleaver John W Cleaver 🇬🇧 (@john_w_cleaver) reported

    @ghost_wales My mum is 95 lives on her own Skype her every day. She seems down but understandable. She is okay but feels depressed when she watches the news. I told her they are feeding bullshit don't watch. **** the @BBCNews @itvnews NWO puppets

  • HalfSh3ll3dH3r0 Ferda Katy-Kat (@HalfSh3ll3dH3r0) reported

    Next time I take a vacation day I’m putting my foot down and insisting no one call me. Four phone calls, two different Skype conversations, and texts all on my day off.

  • ScottMarcoux Scott (@ScottMarcoux) reported

    @MPencington @Ade780 @nicegarlicbread Players were progressing under him, and the Oilers were in a playoff position at the deadline. They had never been that close. GM did nothing to help. Good old Tamby. Then tamby got fired replaced by Mac T who fired him over Skype.

  • RobertHayden Rob Hayden (@RobertHayden) reported

    @gnomeicide Not actually used the “free” skype for a long time and I know it’s a completely different tech with the same branding but skype for business is genuinely terrible compared to zoom

  • Redpandalavell1 Call me Red (@Redpandalavell1) reported

    @concernedgravy He does always get back to me, it just usually takes a few days which I wouldn't mind if we were just chatting (I can't hold a text conversation for long anyway) but we never talk except in person/on skype and its a ball ache trying to pin him down for either of those

  • jjoshd9 ☩☩☩☩☩☩ (@jjoshd9) reported

    @Slaaaysterr drank 2 much , let me vomit my brains out and then im down 2 skype

  • Alex_Micati Alex (@Alex_Micati) reported

    @ArlieMatera Do the elderly in your neighborhood have Skype or such things? Granted it's not a coffee shop, but it could help break the isolation.

  • knrd_z Evil (Political) Scientist (@knrd_z) reported

    @realMaxCastle I bombed a Skype interview two years ago because I said, "you _created_ a new PhD program?" Turns out it's nice to vote yourself RAs who will have terrible job prospects. Little sign of slowing, except for a few departments that took covid breaks.

  • KittytoonsA Very Depressed Kitten onlinet on toilet (@KittytoonsA) reported

  • Marksmithwas12 Mark John Smith 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Marksmithwas12) reported

    @MorsGames For me, I've noticed that Skype slows down my machine (I don't even use it, it's just there when I log on). Also Dropbox and Windows Update, so I've disabled the former 2. I dunno how much this info will help you, but I thought I'd share anyway in case it does

  • Netsai_14 Anna Pence (@Netsai_14) reported from Columbus, Ohio

    @SkypeSupport I would like to cancel my subscription. Can you help me?

  • myfrtomie Nuage ☁️ (@myfrtomie) reported

    Well.. Signal is still down. Not smooth :/ >_< I don't like texting on Skype!

  • AlJawharaAAM AlJawhara Abdullah (@AlJawharaAAM) reported

    When you login to Skype waiting to see your Webex meeting that means you’ve reached your limit

  • myfrtomie Nuage ☁️ (@myfrtomie) reported

    😐 Signal is down Toto isn't logged in on Skype. Damnit.

  • mcard55 Mike C (@mcard55) reported

    10 days of work and 54 #Zoom #microsoftteams #Skype and other type of video conference calls! Shutting tech down this weekend...

  • drvolts David Roberts (@drvolts) reported

    I finally had solved my career-long "reliably record phone calls" problem. I had Skype, with credit I could use to call outside numbers, and Ecamm call recorder. But now call recorder doesn't work with M1 Macs. Aaaargh. So I'm back to my career-long problem.

    @ChristieSmythe @ShannonWeberPhD Did @ShannonWeberPhD even sit down with you for a personal interview? Skype call? And what does her article do to assuage the misery we’re all going through?
