@PerryGibson_ I appreciate this is a co-ordination problem a much as anything else. Code clubs could choose to use tools which work on these more-accessible platforms. I have no idea why they chose Skype of all things. But here we are.

@generativist I always propose just using the damn phone first and cite my mic issues. I have some clients in Europe and South America who I have to Skype with, though.

It's 2013. You're listening to Fix You - Coldplay on repeat. Your hopeful lonely *** has Facebook open to check out messages. You and the boys hop on a Skype call to play some Minecraft. Life was simpler. Life kinda sucked tbh. **** that.

@MKressmark @mozzeph I have a customer with similar issues but not exactly the same. They want to remain in the teams call muted while handling the phone call but without having Skype running in the background, the teams call is put on hold instead of just going on

@SquawkAlley What system do you use for online interviews? Watching Affirm interview and audio is terrible. Sounds like Skype from 8 years ago. Do you do pre-interview testing?

Isn't it weird that, when there was suddenly a humongous demand for their service, Skype faded away into nothing and Zoom, an unknown entity, was just there. Surely this should have been Skype's moment. Gutted.

@khaled_Jabr Especially for one on one calls I've never really had a problem with #Skype, but I know a lot of people have less than optimal experiences.

@LavenderLady0 Honest question, as I'm sure you're not the only one feeling that way. Would getting a few folks onto a Skype call to talk rubbish for an hour be of any help?

For some reason skype updated today and popped up on my screen, I actually said "hello old timer!" to it before closing it down and using zoom.

@vaekol You're mid but I'm down pretty bad so here it goes: I would swim up the Amazon with a 45 lb dumbell attached to my ******* using ellen degeneres' ***** as my only source of oxygen if It meant I could have a food date with you over skype on dial up internet connection

(@TechieCreek) reported
The cruelest reoccurring act my supervisors visit upon me is asking: "Oh Matt, could you set a Skype/Team meeting up for the end of the day? I want to have a little catch-up with you." it's like asking me to slap my own nametag onto the axe that's about to come down on my neck

... the cat was not an issue with Skype, but with software more hidden and fundamental in the computer itself. It is installed by Dell when the computer is put together, he found, which explains why it would come up not just on Skype but on Zoom ...

@electricsmartie I expressed interest in a kitten last year, I asked if they'd do a Skype so that I could see the kittens and maybe see them from the garden (so not going inside) - no reply, they'd collected deposits from others and the ad was taken down the following day.

What have @Microsoft done to skype for business? It takes all the cpu when screen sharing, voice quality is muddy. If i was cynical I'd say It's like they have turned the wick down to force you onto teams. But that's just me. (kermit meme) #skype #MicrosoftTeams

@wirednot I would need to see some jitter plots that you can generate from doing fast pings. I hear all the time claims that Skype work fine while Zoom doesn't. When I further press the user for detail, they admit that Skype is also having issues. I would need to see hard data.
