    @draecomino I don't get the moat here. The tech side is easy to replicate for sure. Entrenched user base maybe? That Didn't help Skype

    2/2 homeschooling beside me while Dad keeps toddler going in other room. But I miss her now. I worry about her. I am happy for her. I'm exhausted again; this time it's the come down section. I continue to #ParentThroughAPandemic. 🎢 Support networks on Skype only. @suzannezeedyk

    @edanbenatar @rafrasenberg They didn't kill Skype, they saved it from eBay. And in contrast to Google they didn't kill the service when they introduced alternatives. I still use Skype for our team's daily standup and sprint events.

    Cisco Webex is terrible! I’d rather use Skype 😫

  • SiddallBarry Barry Siddall (@SiddallBarry) reported

    Tonight's Newsnight was a mess 😬 The problems with Skype live feeds have plagued us for the last year. Tonights was one of the worst. A professor influencing what the probe on Mars has to look for couldn't even arrange a half decent connection 😖 Shame on him and the BBC 😬

  • lauraaloane Laura Anna Loane MA is not a cat. honest! (@lauraaloane) reported

    Anyone else on @O2 had No Service or one bar since this morning? Nothing's going through. Good for no distraction, but REALLY. Called the bank via Skype. There's a sentence I never thought I'd write...

  • DerekBarrera_AI Derek Barrera AI (@DerekBarrera_AI) reported

    wtf Skype i help him...

  • peltonquotes The Fabulist PeltonQuotes (@peltonquotes) reported

    KP: I went back and re-listened to the first episode we did via... Skype & it was REAL rough. If you thought there were a lot of awkward silences now, it was really bad. TC: Really? KP: Oh yeah, it was noticeably terrible... Now it's only marginally terrible @peltoncast 250, 0:12

  • fallin2faith Ranjodh Singh Johal (@fallin2faith) reported

    Someone better step up and make my night better. RT game Wheel spins Skype session: humiliation, foot worship Silent sends. Just do something to fix this ****** day.

  • andrejkvasnica Andrej Kvasnica (@andrejkvasnica) reported

    broken skype for linux update requesting libatomic1 (which is ok for #opensuse) while on #fedora it's only libatomic. quick fix: dnf download skypeforlinux rpm -U --nodeps skypeforlinux_8.69.0.77-1.x86_64.rpm repeat for every update until microsoft fix this

  • EljonEljon Thomas Eljon 🤘🏳️‍🌈 ✖️Box (@EljonEljon) reported

    @ahmedabdulaal11 @antonioberetini @Skype That's the whole bad design of it. There is so much clicking around this issue that "simple" just is not a case anymore. It's less hassle to just open Skype, choose person and click call.

  • cozyseashop rebecca (@cozyseashop) reported

    @yeast223 I have Microsoft word business plan on my Apple desktop if you need help via Skype or whatnot.

  • mancunianmedic david oliver (@mancunianmedic) reported

    @Manumu700 yes indeed but that was taken on the ward where i work at the hospital not doing a skype or zoom interview from my living room when i am not working - that is precisely the point

    @SkypeSupport No, the issue still persist after t/s steps. I can't spend any more time i would like to claim a refund,pls.

  • SuzanneStJames2 Suzanne StJames 🏳️‍🌈 #IndigenousLivesMatter #BLM (@SuzanneStJames2) reported

    @JenLeeCBC That's awful. My 84 yr old Dad is able to navigate the internet, Skype, emails, etc, but starts to panic when tech problems arise on sites. The AHS site is time-sensitive, too, which I don't think will ease the minds of seniors who get timed out & have to start over.

  • SnowBusterVN Snow Buster (@SnowBusterVN) reported

    Dying of laughter after solving the issue that had been plaguing me for weeks thanks to a 3 hour Skype troubleshooting call. The issue was literally equivalent to forgetting to put a ; at the end of a line of code, I feel like such an idiot lmao.

  • GreyMaster11 GreyMaster (@GreyMaster11) reported

    @19syllables It’s okay, FaceTime, Skype and the like help, plus I know his consultant he’s the same guy who looked after mum this time last year, when I had to go down there following her pulmonary embolism, but it’s no substitute for being there.

  • goblin_screech Gerble! (@goblin_screech) reported

    I think my favorite part of all this was when people started putting words in my mouth and began acting like bullies and it caused for an artist I respect to talk down to me and call me an idiot. This is why I left Tumblr and Skype and was reluctant to join Twitter.

  • sstaoil SSTAOIL (@sstaoil) reported

    @SkypeSupport Just when I call the number it is not working try to call you'll see. Thanks again

  • Willy_Knight William Knight (@Willy_Knight) reported

    @NiCHE_Canada @canenvirorock I described Skype as an "online telephone service."
