@SkypeSupport Let‘s hope for it. As I said it is a very important form of communication for her. She was lost when it happened. And she cannot fix it herself. We will not update because she cannot cope with changes. It is important that all the buttons are at their place.

Highlight of my day was when IT had to remote in and view my desktop and I forgot he was watching and sent my manager a skype message saying “he has no clue” My issue did not get resolved and I’m not at all surprised why 🙂

@sblueeyez96 it’s so terrible because she’s perfectly nice and even lets me skype Colin whenever/overnight, BUT she has made me realize I’m so much more OCD than I thought

I had a problem with my desktop and the IT guy skype-ed me to ask about it and he asked for my phone number. And I gave him my cellphone number. He is actually asking for my extension number (if any). 🙃 Never been so stupid I-

@Jim_Stone12 @CONDESCENDANT @rockdaboatNL I guess his going over there will frighten them into hurrying it up. Why not stay home, sit on his arse, and use Skype. If you were an electrical engineer at MF ,your problem is you were and maybe still are afraid to think. Your concrete block is on its way.

That thing where you can’t get #Prokofiev out of your head because of last night’s @nyphil concert so you keep attempting to sing chunks of it, annoying someone so much he shuts down Skype & refuses to speak to you for the rest of the day. #sorrynotsorry

What bothers me most is when clearly isn’t a hardware issue and they keep saying like you have to go to a nearest office to someone fix. No buddy, i don’t think is possible that you can’t help me fix that via phone/skype or whatever

@q_professor In today’s age of email, Skype / Zoom, etc., you’re definitely not too far to be of help. I’m trying to put together a rough idea outline in the next couple of weeks. Perhaps we could exchange some thoughts on it around then. I would very much value your input

@Inkblitzer @RenTradewind Kinda sorta... MS is trying to push everyone to Teams (ugh), but Skype for Business will still be supported for a while... SfB Online is being shut down at the end of July 2021, but the on-premises server has support through October of 2025. #itnerd

@joshtweeterson Not sure if it’s the stream or your remote connection, but there is definitely a sound issue. Distorted, cutting in & out. Kind of sounds similar to when Skype acts up.

@3SwordStyle83 @ThatGuyWhoTips @MarzGurl The response post was sorry you felt that way and posted a half assed redacted Skype chat where CA was discussing a similar issue. Unfortunately the un redacted time codes showed that this was when JW left the network. That's when his friends found out.

Got my flight delayed two hours on the way to a job down in Cardiff which meant I had to do a Skype interview for another job in the airport. Buuuut didn't happen because somebody broke one of the doors going out of baggage and we got blocked in for half an hour.

Hey @blogtalkradio I’ve been trying to get support for weeks, but I’m still having issues using direct connect with one of the mics you even suggested. Considering I pay every month for my show, I hope someone gets back to me with a fix. My last few shows sound awful w/o Skype 😣
