  • Queen0fMoondoor Charlie, Queen of the Nomads, First of Her Name (@Queen0fMoondoor) reported

    @TheRandyKetch *She swallows down her feelings and tries to dry her eyes discreetly.* I'm always with you, Randy. *She points at her heart.* Besides, it's not like we won't see each other again. Can't forget phones and skype exist. I just... I can't be the reason you don't find happiness.

  • Jpullen19 Jennifer Pullen (@Jpullen19) reported

    @JamesTateHill I agree with what everyone is saying here, and what you are saying, about striking a balance. I will 100% skype into a friend's class because they've assigned my story, or issues of the lit mag my students edit. But I would want to get paid to be a visiting writer for the uni.

  • Zamuel42 President Elect Zamuel42 (@Zamuel42) reported

    @MrTedLouis ok last ******* message from me to you. I guess if you ever want you can track me down on skype or discord and tell me how you were sorry for not realizing how right I am. have you been to a spoon bending party? I havent but talked (in person) with many who have.

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

    Im a nonthreatening feminist boy, come talk to me on Skype! talk to me on skype about your problems as a woman i sympathize i’m taking womens studies. I took women’s studies I know what ‘systematic’ means.

  • tchadwyk1 Chadwick (@tchadwyk1) reported

    **** that 5 person ****. If you don't NEED that person in your home for the next 4 weeks, skype. 1 person per household out to the stores and go once a week if you can help it. Think Defcon April 2020. It's now or wait till summer to get this under control.

  • kramit Mike Whitehouse (@kramit) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ChrisHoodAU Skype could just ‘go down’ a lot, and teams seems to be much more stable. Would really suck if it ‘went down’ at critical points like 9am in the morning so everyone would have to use teams.

  • niallhazaz JASKIN hunting the GONGGOOZLER (@niallhazaz) reported

    @sundisease @carllorthner If you need help with the processors or sth let me know! I've been going with asus and acer Laptops in the past btw and never had any problems (except from my mic not working in skype but i think that's a ME problem for dropping my LT too often)

  • JorgeRV54 Jorge Rodriguez (@JorgeRV54) reported

    @SkypeSupport hi, I bought recently a Skype Number and is not working.

  • AndyMRoberts Andrew Roberts 💬🇪🇺 (@AndyMRoberts) reported

    @NFGmart Bubbles or not, I am not letting my brother come down to see mum. She is 81 and it’s just not worth the risk. She can Skype him and talk to him face to face on that. Boris wants to be father ******* Christmas, instead he’ll be the Grinch who killed all the grandparents.

  • kjw810 Kelly Wickham (@kjw810) reported

    @Bratbaby1701 I just don't like it because of the way that people communicate. I liked skype & I like zoom because you just talk like you're sitting down together talking. With TeamTalk, at least the TeamTalk I remember, you have to press or lock buttons.

  • pennylongstckng Miss Penny Longstocking WTO ready (@pennylongstckng) reported

    @Nigel_Farage Barnier is available on Skype, he can call BJ at any time. What is your problem now?

  • PJD57301 Phil Davies (@PJD57301) reported

    So three households at Christmas about this, limit the numbers have the rest of the family on Skype or Zoom, only have them people around who are most important to you, it would keep the virus in the box & not put our hard work down the drain leading into 2021 #Retweet

  • Wtf_Vlogh Vloghh 🎃 (@Wtf_Vlogh) reported

    @discord since I use discord I swear it is the best and the 2nd place is skype, the great platform of 2017 but I have a little problem the notifications no longer appear or the call windows I liked but the notifications no longer appear psd i love discord

  • SaltNPepperDesi TheSindhiSaiN (@SaltNPepperDesi) reported

    @GaneshSP47 overzealous kalendar chhaap peepal! my previous team was so nice. once i left a msg on skype regarding some issue coz he was away. He said call me anytime dude. if I cant take it, will return it ASAP. And the mgr clubbed most meetings together. agenda based, outcome driven :-)

  • ElenaGorianova Elena Gorianova (@ElenaGorianova) reported

    @SkypeSupport My Skype account was stolen in 2018; you 'couldn't do anything' for me then. This the thief set up 'auto-charge'. HELP!

  • thedobaga Doba DeVader (@thedobaga) reported

    Though last night's was more bizarre than scary? I was playing golf while interviewing a man who claimed to have helped create Wario, we sat down and I started recording a skype call with him even though he was sitting next to me? Then a tornado happened.

  • ch3rr13c4lz fuck (ITS IAN GUYS PLS) (@ch3rr13c4lz) reported

    SKYPE WONT OPEN AGAINAND IDK HOW TO FIX IT LMAO AND I HAVE CLASS

  • WFS93 Wilson Schadauer (@WFS93) reported

    @gringozuela @Tpofiev @LLinWood How inconsiderate does a father have to be that humans have opinions that differ from them that he must stoop down to mocking intelligence? Lemme know if you get zoom, Skype, or a telephone with which YOU CAN COMMUNICATE.

  • giorgiogilestro Giorgio Gilestro (@giorgiogilestro) reported

    Is there any video chat service that allows recording video from all parties before it's actually streamed to the other side? I know I can record calls with zoom/skype/teams on my side of course but the video quality will be contingent to the internet connection.

  • SheaBlack8 Shea Black (@SheaBlack8) reported

    @OhVonda We are. Just me and my hubby. My mom is sending us some of her famous sides to our house and we are send some of ours to hers. She’s only 3 doors down so not a hassle. We will Skype while eating.

  • ronnieClarke69 Ronnie Clarke (@ronnieClarke69) reported

    @maxrushden the sound on the Pep, Pépe podcast is terrible, I know your doing it on Skype/zoom but volume goes up and down, very loud for adverts, then low for the actual podcast, couple of time Barney just faded out and volume came back. Shame, the lockdown podcast have been 👍

  • ianwalensis Ian Thomas Walsh (@ianwalensis) reported

    @DrLeanneCalvert I still have trouble with Skype, Zoom, Microsoft Teams...and turning my laptop on and off.

  • tsix_xist Pablo Escobars Forgotten Hippo (@tsix_xist) reported

    @redditships I would have broken up with her after the boss thing. Or after the failed proposal thing. Or after the family Skype call thing.

    @BarclaysUKHelp How long does it take for you to answer a help message ? I am trying to call thru skype, from non-uk, and want to speak to a real person.

  • DianeKornblum Diane Kornblum (@DianeKornblum) reported

    @GovMikeDeWine Governor DeWine, it is time to shut down Ohio with 40 million people traveling by car and by air this virus is not going to go away anytime soon you know this! People are so selfish only thinking of themselves they cannot Skype or do FaceTime? This is very very sad!
