  • 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.

  • LordDio67 dio (@LordDio67) reported

    @discord you mfers killed skype and you cant even fix the same update loop problem thats existed since 2005

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • JorgeRV54 Jorge Rodriguez (@JorgeRV54) reported

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • KUVlRAS cassandra 🥲 (@KUVlRAS) reported

    @boingloingz me speaking broken chinese on skype with my relatives

  • sueinphilly SueinPhilly שנה (@sueinphilly) reported

    @RealStockton That's all that's on my laptop At work we have Windows 10 They just change my entire defense agency from Skype & Msft Office to Teams & Msft365 There's been some issues, with data

  • BobbyDurben Bob (@BobbyDurben) reported

    Watching #BacheloretteABC as a painful reminder that I made it to the 3rd round of casting, only for a producer to look me up and down once on a Skype call and immediately let me know *this* body has no place on *that* show

  • Mega_Rain bossman (@Mega_Rain) reported

    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • sacredsophia Sacred Sophia (@sacredsophia) reported

    @unseenpen I have another friend who wants to Skype so how about we do it after they're down?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • ianwalensis Ian Thomas Walsh (@ianwalensis) reported

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

  • hyenatown Hyena 🏙️ BLM | ACAB (@hyenatown) reported

    @joewintergreen Someone on the Microsoft help forum was raving about how the Meet Now icon is spyware, meanwhile, Skype sleeps somewhere deep in my machine...

  • Dw1gh1 Martina (@Dw1gh1) reported

    skype has daddy issues

  • leftdrumstick nier ☆ (@leftdrumstick) reported

    @dissidiaNT the problem is is that discord in no way lets you be this nosy about strangers (honestly it's weird that skype did) since you need a username and an id number to add people, but i think we should just make it an application server again to recreate the inanity of it all

  • krisabetha Kris 🐝 (@krisabetha) reported

    @IrishBrian420 I have no clue. I think all this is probably written down in fine print somewhere, but like... they're in their seventies and know nothing about the internet. My mother in law doesn't even know how to open Skype.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • StephCab4Cutie SANTA SANGRE (@StephCab4Cutie) reported

    @deadbvnny I HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH HIM EXCEPT SKYPE AND I CANT REMEMBER MY LOGIN INFO

  • 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?

  • angeibones_ ange ♡ (@angeibones_) reported from Cebu City, Central Visayas

    I hate the sound of Skype notifications when I’m not working.
