  • mancunianmedic david oliver (@mancunianmedic) reported

    also when i was doing 1 pm bulletin and having just been introduced by Ben Brown the internet went down and he was left with dead air and me swearing. Skype is banned software at the hospital and doesn't work at home so that was the end of my attempts to use it

  • MissGinaDarling Gina Darling (@MissGinaDarling) reported

    @Adiofreak Adio, i hope my boobs sag down to the floor one day so that I can walk 1000 miles while they drag on the hot gravel just to eat tacos with you on over Skype on a shitty dial up connection.

    Tonight was a bit sad, my mom made finger foods for tonight and it triggered a flashback from when I was in a religious cult. My fiance was there on skype to help me through it. These flashbacks wont stop until I get out of Ga for good. #religiouscultsurvivor

    @funder If you are lonely, just know there are people out there who care about you that don't even know you. The best way to not be lonely is to help others in some way. Sign up to call senior citizens to check in on them, tutor kids by Skype, or volunteer some where.

  • Velaraeda 🔪 Talon in LoR when? (@Velaraeda) reported

    I accidentally put my computer to sleep instead of shutting it down and Skype wanted to open when I woke my pc up???? hello??

    @Microsoft @Skype looks like someone’s using my phone number on their Skype account so I can’t sign in. Tried your help chat & chat sign in issue, but tells me to sign in to continue!!!

  • forfsakes 🇨🇦 Pre-retirement Hippie (@forfsakes) reported

    @Melowrain So many more intimate options, even with the plague! Facetime, Skype, Zoom, even phone calls (long distance is not an issue with VOIP). FB sucks.

  • RCMtalks Helz (@RCMtalks) reported

    July: I've been accepted onto a leadership programme. I'm enjoying table service at pubs but this booking malarkey can do one. Still frequenting the Skype Bar. Afterwork drinks need way more effort now but the tradition of Thirsty Thursdays, Wino Wednesdays and Tipple Tuesdays.

  • MediaLawProf Dr. Chip Stewart (@MediaLawProf) reported

    @voiceofD It’s funny even thinking back to February, when @Popehat was so kind as to visit my law class. We used Skype, had connection problems on my end, Ken was great, but then it crashed at the end. By fall, I was having cool guests like @JessicaHuseman on Zoom pretty regularly & easily

  • amdev Amro Mousa (@amdev) reported

    @jayholler We use an Xbox and a cheap webcam with Skype to chat with my and my wife’s parents. Skype is mediocre at best on the Xbox and there are weird issues with audio — almost like only one side can speak at once — but otherwise it works okay for us.

  • puppetpassion Red the Puppet (@puppetpassion) reported

    @markiplier You didn't Skype with any puppets this year... That's you're main problem MARK

  • SunsetGrither Mathias Croqvist (@SunsetGrither) reported

    @GamerThumbTV Most likely spending it video calling with friends and family all on discord, Skype and such to all be some what together while celebrating and watching the festivities of fireworks on Tv while we count down a shitty end to a shitty year.

    @ohioedison I'm a snowbird living in Ecuador SA during winter months. Need C.S. help re: my Akron home billing. But can't get through on my SKYPE service. For some reason my Skype doesn't accept your 800 or 888 numbers. Do you have a regular 330 number I can call your C.S.?

  • Paestrol Paoes TRol (@Paestrol) reported

    In-person meetings help foster relationships in a way that Skype or conference calls often do not.

  • ronninator 🎄☃️ ho-ho-house finch 🌲🐦 (@ronninator) reported

  • toa_XY Thomas O. Adams (@toa_XY) reported
