I think the problem with tech is that most teachers don’t get to make the tech decision ... I thought Skype was a great tool to communicate around the world ... my district decided to block it #edtechchat

Also, having the external examiner comment via Skype and (of course) have technical issues with the connection is not something I’d like to happen at my defense 🤯

Last night I laughed so much at my own pun while on Skype to Jake that he put his phone in the corner of the room face down while I laughed uncontrollably for at least five minutes. Apparently I was “in the naughty corner”. This only made me laugh even more.

@peterskillman Precisely. People learn the Skype user experience. My Snapchat on Android feels similar to iOS. Fix only those parts that would confuse platform users. Back iOS apps on a Mac, I don't see the reason why it couldn't be made to work given proper thought and consideration.

@Vodacom You must the most useless 4G service provider in SA. One can't even work from home because of your pathetic service ( in Sandton of all places one can't connect to Skype for business).

@RopeyLibrarian I would love your help! There's a list I just wrote to @The_Button_ of the early on stuff that I could use help with. Let me know if any of that appeals & maybe we can all meet / Skype / Slack / Wire at some point to talk through it.

@TheRiver It’s free, and with a Microsoft account you get basic one drive access and that’s the vehicle they use for storage, sync and collaboration. As it’s integrated with teams, sharepoint, windows10, Skype for business etc by default. I don’t represent MS, office365 is a paid service

Herrmann pleaded guilty via video link, he rubbed his chin and looked down during the hearing but didn’t show any obvious emotion. The prosecution said they spoke to Aiia Maasarwe’s two sisters via Skype last night. #Aiia @10NewsFirstMelb

@spamless @TMobile This might help you as I’m in Ireland and need to check my voicemail; if you download Skype or Hangouts, and call +1 (805) 637-7243 through WiFi, you’ll be able to access your voicemail for free. Just need to press * to enter your number and PIN and you’ll be connected through.

He gave me an opportunity to take a chance and turn my life upside down. Scared out of my mind I decided to trust this guy who I’d only talked to on Skype 3 times. Coach constantly pushed me and believed in me more than I did most of the time.

22. Discord hands down. Skype isn’t easy to use and you can’t have multiple channels on a server or anything. Discoed is so much more useful. 23. Yes.

Today, EU courts should decide whether SkypeOut is to be considered an electronic comms service or not. Might force Skype under Telecom law(s). I wonder what the impact could be on other services like #MicrosoftTeams etc., if they do... #thoughtoftheday

The Bucks look like Jason Kidd is coaching them again. Mental errors, standing still on offense, turning their back on D and make Fred Van Vleet and Skype Lowry look like hall of gamers.

Ok, @Skype, after more than an hour spent with 3 staffers by phone with your customer service, not solving my issue about renewing my subscription, and CUTTING THE CALLS TWICE!! 🤬, you can forget me, I made a subscription with @Viber, cheaper than you, in 3 minutes! Adios! 🥳
