  • goddesschloex ♡︎ Chloe ♡︎ $5 OnlyFans ♡︎ (@goddesschloex) reported

    Hi, I’ve never had to do this before but this lockdown has really ****** everything up for me and I literally can’t afford to pay my rent this month. I can do a free year subscription to my OnlyFans or a Skype session - or whatever you want, if you can send something to help 💞

  • cyber_hokie cyber_hokie (@cyber_hokie) reported

    @nicksdjohnson What exactly is the problem with Zoom here? It’s head and shoulders better than the previous incumbents, WebEx, Skype, and Hangouts.

    speaking of valentines day, would anyone be down for a skype/zoom/what-have-you for anyone needing some company tonight? let me know!!

  • worldmeetjohn John from 🇨🇦 (@worldmeetjohn) reported

    @Skype Honestly, Skype is crap. Whenever I try to use it, I have to waste time waiting for it to respond and I often have to restart my computer just to get it working again. I don't have these issues with zoom or WhatsApp, but it happens consistently with Skype.

  • 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.

  • the_wilderless pattern in the wilderless (@the_wilderless) reported

    Working through a series of questions, & I’m basically unemployed this week. If anyone is down for a discussion on any of the following, I’m down for Skype calls on any of these from 8am-9pm Hanoi time this week (which is 8pm-9am New York time, so… some morning-evening overlap)

  • MistressEnvy3 Mistress Envy (@MistressEnvy3) reported

    I might look ok but deep down i just want to go to the ********** Available for sessions and **** rates #FinD #KIK PALOMAENVY #SKYPE

  • AussieSteph22 Stephanie Bell (@AussieSteph22) reported

    @fortitudesouth @glenpen60 @jamnic77 There were many who couldn’t see family. I didn’t see 2 of my grandchildren for nearly a year , but I was happy to skype so that we were all safe. You can’t help a person if all they see is their own sacrifice , and not the big picture.

  • dylan_rand Jeffrey Dexter Owen (@dylan_rand) reported

    @TeamPelosi @realTuckFrumper We can end gun violence in schools, simply by just closing them all down and continue to remote teach via Zoom, Internet, Skype etc.... The Pandemic has taught us we don't need schools. think of all the money us tax payers will save. Especially us singles with no brats, kids!

  • ManOfArcher Paragon Of Punishment..|| NOT @ArcherOfInfamy (@ManOfArcher) reported

    // now that I got my Skype back anyone down to Skype sometime?

  • data_juggler Data Juggler (@data_juggler) reported

    Last night a friend was coming to help me move a couple of things to my new place. Unplug computer, forgetting he has to call my Skype when he gets here. Plug it in, Windows Update decides now is a good time to update. Windows, lucky you didn't hear the things I called you.

  • bapfrancis Franco (@bapfrancis) reported

    I didn’t even mention that my Skype or Teams calls drop 50% of the time. And I have lodged complaints for these as well. By the time audio calls are dropping you truly have a serious problem. I challenge you to demonstrate our network is the problem

  • intoxynetor Mike Maddern (@intoxynetor) reported

    @publichealthni Over the skype or zoom you can do FA as thats not precention. Instead of 1000 of managierial meeting how to approch problem look on data from other countries and implement here. As you doing nothing to help. This is getting worst.

  • Djay434 Dhananjay Gupta (@Djay434) reported

    @MicrosoftTeams a very big missing feature is the 'presence' unavailability on @Outlook. In our organisation we have the legacy @SkypeBusiness & #Teams, however only when I login to Skype do I get to see the presence (offline/online/busy/meeting, etc.) in Outlook app.

    @hellviewing I would drag my ***** through 10 miles of broken glass if it meant we could eat a nice seafood dinner over Skype on dial up

  • RMCunliffe Rachel Cunliffe (@RMCunliffe) reported

    Anyone else getting a weird Zoom glitch where the mic and sound just switch off and need to be manually switched on again? Doesn't happen on Teams of Skype, and seems completely random, gets worse as the call goes on. Very challenging for conducting interviews!

  • chrisfromtdi chris from tdi is very happy :) (@chrisfromtdi) reported

    @wormsmoothie @stewostewie OH MY GOD one time my ex-friend sent a photo of a naked woman in a skype group chat because my other friend dared him too and i got in trouble and couldnt talk to them anymore because my mom saw it but then she forgave them like one minute later

  • MickCla77884027 Mick Clark (@MickCla77884027) reported

    Why is it that celebrities think it's OK to break the law and drive down to Cornwall when it's breaking covid rules .Does not Skype ,or phone work in Cornwall .I hope this mild celebrity is fined heavily for her ingnorance during this very worrying time .

  • TukoeTekii Elisabeth C E N (@TukoeTekii) reported

    I think you should stop taking down the guard off co vid and keep the guard on covid up permanently from now on and no more functions, rugby, etc from now on and only have events only if it's necessary. Permanently! Use Skype. #NewZealand

  • NDPoet 🌈🧠 ND Squish Toy 💟🐟 (@NDPoet) reported

    Is there something like Skype/Google Duo that is voice? Ended up very frustrated yesterday because of auditory processing issues. Audio quality was so terrible I had to end the call with family because I was getting frustrated trying to understand them. They heard me fine.

  • LordBikebot Lord Bikebot (@LordBikebot) reported

    @cyclegaz I had the torture of teams working multioffice via skype calls in the noughties, and the technology itself is so much more reliable now. Most of the problems left are user etiquette, but hardware with microphone arrays + background noise elimination would be good.
