@gnomeicide You asked how to get Skype to do something that Skype can't do. This was pointed out, and a few people (not just me) also said that what you wanted to do was the core use case for zoom. You disparaged some kind and sincere offers of help as "tech twitter".

@Skype need help. My dad all of a sudden is being asked to verify his id on Skype by putting on his PIN. Thing is he has never had a PIN?? So how can he log in?

@herberticus Not sure about a direct way - but I wonder if you could get a UK number through a service like Skype, and initiate the call that way?

"Literally not possible. I don't think specific person even has time/spoons to Skype because of the doom workload." "Well that's your fault for not being a better friend and solving all their problems." "Oh, oh dear..." And then my petulant misfiring neuron sack goes Sad.

@NonnaMichele Yes, I understand (incl the tears, same here). We'll see when we can meet. We have Skype for the moment, it'll have to do. She's fine, but a bit lonely. I'm trying to help her find a job now.

People don't understand that if something is "free" you have to pay with something else than money, the same way that whatsapp collects data, telegram, signal, messenger, skype or any other app that you can think off, collects data. If the service is free, YOU are the product.

@gnomeicide Not actually used the “free” skype for a long time and I know it’s a completely different tech with the same branding but skype for business is genuinely terrible compared to zoom

@MorsGames For me, I've noticed that Skype slows down my machine (I don't even use it, it's just there when I log on). Also Dropbox and Windows Update, so I've disabled the latter 2. I dunno how much this info will help you, but I thought I'd share anyway in case it does

@Barnacules @AuxxZillary I think the problem you are having with @dhewlett on stream is something to do with Skype switching between different resolutions with compression as compensation for fluctuations of internet bandwidth on his end

@SamsaraSings I haven’t even been in a store since March. My contact with others is via skype, zoom and FaceTime—my kids and grandkids and a few friends. Oh, and when I have to go to the post office to get my mail because they won’t fix our mailboxes or deliver to our homes.

Call me Red
(@Redpandalavell1) reported
@concernedgravy He does always get back to me, it just usually takes a few days which I wouldn't mind if we were just chatting (I can't hold a text conversation for long anyway) but we never talk except in person/on skype and its a ball ache trying to pin him down for either of those

@Skype Please fix the Xbox app, it's awful. Or at least please let us use Discord natively on the Xbox.

@ArlieMatera Do the elderly in your neighborhood have Skype or such things? Granted it's not a coffee shop, but it could help break the isolation.

@MicrosoftTeams Are you planning to fix the volume issues on Teams before you force Skype for Business users to switch over to your inferior program? If you insist on this nonsense, you can expect a bill for all the lost time and business you've caused.
