This is so hard for a Man to share his story without family. Then you get people calling you a scam, and tearing you down. They don't take any time to call, email, or anything to verify before announcing you are something fake. Tanya why? I am right here. Skype DVDmillions

I really do not like resorting to bad-mouthing companies on Twitter, but @Skype I'm at my wit's end! PLEASE tell me how to contact a real person who can help me with a subscription /billing problem. @Microsoft

If we’re making this migration from Skype to Teams, we need to fix the capability to see online statuses in Outlook.

@sulkyracer They wouldn't be out to dinner at all if they thought covid was a problem. Especially sitting close, no mask, etc. They would have had a skype meeting. What a room full of frauds.

@GeorgeTakei I guess deployed service personnel could also use facetime, whatsapp, skype, zoom, etc, etc as well, but that wouldn't be such good marketing for Amazon.

I'm so glad covid didn't happen when SKYPE was the primary video call service. What a nightmare that woulda been

@Brf13b @CarlyCassadyWX Yes, I know. It’s just distracting. I have the same problem when commercials have people wearing masks. I’ve seen Dr. Birx on a Skype meeting wearing a mask. I honestly asked because I didn’t know she was required to wear it on air.

@nypost Couldn't it be done by zoom or Skype? The went to Maui to drink Mai tai and eat shrimp. There is nothing more urgent than finding a way to help californians out while they destroy business with the moronic lock downs.

@brooyetti Hm I haven't encountered that issue w Express VPN, Speedify, or ProtonVPN. I also find Skype to be more finicky for Mac people. There are also options for camming via your own website that I'm still testing. I'm leaving Modelcentro for VXpages to explore this option.

@jayholler @Google Still leaps and bounds ahead of Skype for business. And before you point out meet: last I looked it uses the Skype for business backend to set up meetings and suffers from some of the same problems as a result.

@jouniheikniemi @JussiRoine @sassdawe I’ve experienced the same thing on signal. I also trust Microsoft more as a platform than something like this too. Making a switch is def the biggest problem here. That’s why I think if you said “hey Skype is back, join me here” would make sense.

I would be genuinely interested in a deep-dive analysis of how Zoom instantly became the go-to video messaging service back in March, instead of the dozens of other existing services, which people had already heard of and had access to: Skype, FaceTime, WebEx, Google Whatever

Grumpy old man rant. Skype for Business was perfectly fine. Teams is that “all-in-one” app that was created to fix a problem that never existed in the first place.

@JanDavidHassel In general i think teams has same kind of quality issues with both sound and video, that discord don’t, as Skype had. Sometimes these even feel weird as it might be everyone is on same good connection but suddenly video or sound just goes from ok to poor.

@americanmcgee @Facebook We got marginally better results with googads, at least when measured over a period of time. What worked the best was simply telling people we know to help share it. ;w; Discord, slack, foras etc., even hangouts, skype, and Teams, were used. All to get it out there. x'3

@ShaneMcFarlan17 @TheSiteSupply No. I won this PS5. I don’t know what “I’ll cop it” means I’ve Skyped 1 person who was interested but they wanted me to open the box and plug it in. If someone is interested I have no problem using FaceTime or Skype to show them the console

@craigd @Skype It’s terrible. The NDI support is completely broken, different flavours don’t work with each other well. They need to do something. Zoom is eating their lunch.

@jthake I'm unclear why I'd want to use Teams with a personal account. Is it for switching over from Skype, I'm not sure? Separation is great but I feel the issue isn't there for this.

@lynnpcullen Discord is basically just a better version of skype, just because people abused a service doesn't mean the software is bad.
