@jmstudiosmac @roto_tudor @lyzl I was living abroad at that time and had to watch the funeral over Skype. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. My grandpa’s own brother couldn’t travel from Calif due to restrictions, and his sister almost couldn’t come from Chicago (to Indiana) b/c they started shutting down roads

Seven minutes into the Windows Weekly podcast and they just announced they've ditched Skype and are now using an in-house webRTC solution. When a show dedicated to Microsoft ditches Skype, you know your product is terrible.

There were some days I just didn't feel like being on Skype to chat with my close friends because I was in such a shitty mood I didn't want to bite one of their heads, if they decided to make playful roast banter at me. I knew, in that mood, I'd only cause more issues. Part 7

And I know this problem isn’t just limited to education. I’ve heard the stories of coworkers in the private sector who make 6 figures who don’t know how to use Skype or let alone open up a pdf. And Gen z gets way too much credit for being tech literate.

I don't watch much @CNN but I'm curious if they have nearly as many problems with #Webex as @MCNBC has with #Skype. I get why they use Skype, but holy crap is it unreliable! The lag and video dropouts are almost unwatchable.

The guys were okay/nice to his face, but when I talked to my ex on msn or skype or whatever, a day or two later, to thank him for hanging out and that it was a fun night.. I asked what he thought of my then bf. It had been like 3-4 years since we'd broken up by that point.

@MohauHlonyana We use Skype for meetings. It shows your online presence and how long you’re “away” for which is no movement on your P.C. =you’re not working so you need to work longer hours

Remember when Skype was a well-used verb. They shifted focus onto pointless social features rather than improving the quality of the service. Now we use Zoom.

@elysdir In a @nealstephenson mood I’ve wondered when Zoom or Skype or WebEx is going to offer masking software to disguise people’s appearance, voice, etc to help enforce more egalitarian behavior for things like job interviews.

@RoliverQueen_ Ah Kazaa aka a program that would be popular after Napster would shut down It's kinda crazy as well as some of the devs who made that would later on work on and create Skype

@ScottLawlor12 Yes. MeetNow is Microsoft's gradual roll-in of Skype's voice and video calling features into Windows itself and/or Microsoft Teams. Now that Teams is available at all license tiers, Skype is officially shutting down at some point next year.

@DerCryptaxis We weren't able to shoot one of BRAVE due to the covid shut down in California back in March. We were hoping that there would be a break in April, but as we know, that didn't happen. We considered doing it via Zoom or Skype, but the quality would be awful, so we just gave up.

@locorama @NEWS1130 Starbucks, etc., have had months to follow guidelines to keep people safe. I know my higher power doesn’t want me to take chances that will make my family or community suffer. If guidelines can be followed, why not offer service? If not, offer service via Skype, zoom, you tube

Apparently the new @Skype policy can let ANY random stranger (not friend) call you at the middle of the night! Very bad UX, intrusive and totally a reason to stop using this service and search for alternatives. Sadly it's not a bug it's a feature. #skype

@virginmedia Hi. I was just on a call with an agent (Clement) while he upgraded my broadband. I was on Skype and got cut-off during the call due to the instant upgrade. I wanted to thank him for his excellent customer service and apologise for being cut off. Thank you!

I bought a webcam with a built-in mic for my parents to use for Skype. Now only the mic work, but I chalked it up to age. Until I searched and others have the same issue? Seems to be a Windows update / driver that broke it.
