  • _Rbot_ Rooben.avi (@_Rbot_) reported

    Im in a skype call called actual Mishas please help me

  • KDN1692 Kyle Nuss (@KDN1692) reported

    physically draining over a period of time. I also like that the show is jumping thru the timeline and touching on events that have happened thruout the pandemic. Even the skype calls themselves arent terrible and work for the format. It doesnt ruin the feel of the show.

  • marythetrainer Ma Bailey's Telephone (@marythetrainer) reported

    @Skype is the devil. I have upcoming meetings and tried to create an account. I couldn't read the stupid challenge dominos quickly enough so clicked through HUNDREDS of them. No way to get help, no way to get a new challenge. What a piece of crap, Microsoft!

  • NewRandomGeek They Call Me Ralph (@NewRandomGeek) reported

    @TheCriticalDri2 He "Force Kicked" him. Lucas was "Subverting Expectations" and found ANOTHER undocumented Force (UNLIMITED) POWAH like Force Skype, Force Heal and Force Resurrection From The Dead. Now the Reylos should quiet down since we're using the same rules they do.

  • Cmon_Man2020 Italy Is Behind The STEAL RELEASE THE EVIDENCE NOW (@Cmon_Man2020) reported

    Anyone know if Skype is down? Been trying to get on and it just won't load up.

  • ST4RSHOPPlNG s4f (@ST4RSHOPPlNG) reported

    @HEMMICK8 HEYYYY HEYYY i would fall asleep on skype with u im down so bad

  • scampbeast Elaine Kidd (@scampbeast) reported

    @Typhoo_Tea I would love to have a proper sit down cup of tea with my friend Crystal in Canada, a Skype call isn't the same as being able to hug someone who needs it.

  • trinigawd trinigod (@trinigawd) reported

    Skype, Viber & Wickr are terrible recommendations in this context actually. Allo still exists?

  • forkboy84 Камерон (@forkboy84) reported

    @MMAanalytics @heynottheface It should be illegal to go on a Zoom/Skype/whatever other service call without having a high enough resolution so I can go through the book shelf book by book. That'd be my first law passed as God King of the World

  • corrilan Jason Bassett (@corrilan) reported

    Visiting a client at a home in Rayleigh today. Troubleshooting various problems with their Microsoft Windows desktop PC & Samsung tablet which are stopping them from being able to browse the web, check email & use Skype, Zoom. Need IT support? Give us a call on 01375 403508

  • RoCkChAlK2015 wade myers (@RoCkChAlK2015) reported

    @JoRo_NFL I like a 3 of them, but that being said I’d like to see them invertview more if it’s over Skype, and the final 5 should be brought in for interviews in person with a clear plan to fix the broncos. See who gives a blanket statement and who does their homework.

  • Branch300BPM Branch Predictor (@Branch300BPM) reported

    @Skype The fact that I need to look for it is a problem alone. Another thing is that updates are forced and are installed the very next time I start Skype - very unpleasant experience especially there's no way to control it.

  • Danielw107 Daniel W (@Danielw107) reported

    @Skype calls work fine, only video and voice messages, all other audio works apart from that, laptop and computer both with the issue, not just my end person on other end has same issue with not hearing mine

  • HCouple96 Horny&BiCouple (@HCouple96) reported

    Would absolutely love to video call with a hot milf on Snapchat or Skype and shoot my ******* for them. That would be so much fun if any hot women are down for it. Let me know x

  • geekingthething Els (@geekingthething) reported

    I'm having issues with report builder: it keeps crashing on me and giving the most useless error messages, so I screenshotted the last one and send it to my manager over Skype-chat. And then he emailed me: the screenshot of the error made his skype freeze... 🥲

  • 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.

  • Kjonge Kasper de Jonge (@Kjonge) reported

    @sql_williamd @sqldbawithbeard @cl it is so confusing, you need to load Team no you need to load skype for business, error error ! If this doesn't work, I am going to look for some old contacts in Office and get mad.

  • jugurthahadjar Jugurtha Hadjar (@jugurthahadjar) reported

    @saifrahmed @SlackHQ @stewart It may be because it's the most obvious "complementor", not the most obvious non-competitor. Skype picks up right where Slack drops off for the free tier: video calls with multiple people. Similar to getting down from the metro and hopping on a tram for non multimodal companies.

  • AdamMaguire Adam Maguire (@AdamMaguire) reported

    @Mark_Coughlan @edmundheaphy Could be a couple of issues there - some guests come in via TieLine while others may be on FaceTime Audio, WhatsApp Audio, Skype etc. Some are more reliable than others. Their own connection could also play a part - and if they get a call while on air it can cause a wobble.

  • SuperlativeMik Rev. Mike Will (@SuperlativeMik) reported

    @KingCarlye Lmaooo I’m not trying to watch this Skype+ battle. ****** be having mad technical issues too.

  • whee1s wheeeeeeeeeeeeeels (@whee1s) reported

    @PrinxeShirai bruh remember skype and ventrilo nothing like sitting down on a cold sunday morning at the kitchen table on my phone or shitty laptop

  • saifrahmed Saif Ahmed (@saifrahmed) reported from Arlington, Virginia

    @jugurthahadjar @SlackHQ @stewart Because it is the most obvious non-competitor. One could potentially see a threat to Slack from several other messaging platforms, but never, ever Skype — which is a threat mostly to itself. BTW, did they ever fix the can’t-login problems that caused the Skype-exodus?

  • raniaakhter18 Rania (@raniaakhter18) reported

    May be IK should address the Hazara agitators through Skype etc. Discuss the problems. #BehindYouSkipper

  • Danielw107 Daniel W (@Danielw107) reported

    @Skype having issues with video and voice messages not playing audio on my laptop or computer, I've reinstalled skype, it's been updated few times since it started and is still an issue, downloading it has audio, mobile app and online skype plays audio like normal

  • tari_coffee Tariro Coffee (@tari_coffee) reported

    @NetOneCellular Hello guys, so I replaced my old line with a new one because I wanted 4G speeds, unfortunately, I am still not getting those, I have to ask for my siblings' Netone sim cards for skype calls etc. Can I get some help?

  • RachelSRich Rachel Rich (@RachelSRich) reported

    @BryanBanksPhD At my work we have Skype for Business. It is terrible.

  • _Killakuma 🐼 •Killakuma• 💀 // ☆ BLM ☆ (@_Killakuma) reported

    Discord is shutting down in 2022???? Bruh.... what would be yall's options thats not Skype-- Im sad......

  • curexcomplex Dr 「サマンサ」Sammie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈 in 🇺🇸 (@curexcomplex) reported

    Sorted it out through my own logic of just calling them from Skype because of my PhD brain is clearly problem solving. RBS call center gave no shits about anything and were like, eh its fine, unblocked and unlocked. RBS, telling you a different story at every single turn.

  • Lucindacutexx12 ℒ𝓊𝒸𝒾𝓃𝒹𝒶 𝒸𝓊𝓉ℯ ♕ (@Lucindacutexx12) reported

    Hey boys once again I don’t work for @saucytimedotcom no more they won’t take my profile pics down and I’ve asked them too. Please guys from the U.S stop calling my phone all hours of the morning when I am asleep it’s rude! You if you want a call pay for Skype!!

  • ChrisWithTheBat Chris King (@ChrisWithTheBat) reported

    @danjconn Ooh, Sympathy - Skype's not letting me sign in (on-prem issue) and my mobile's just bricked irself. Yeah, the one with the authenticator app on it :(
