  @skype is it possible to talk to a human about issues I am having with accessing my account? I've tried every available route and nothing has helped so far. Quite frustrating.

  @virginmedia And I can assure you it’s the service I am receiving. Internet upload speeds consistently down to 20/30% (Fibre100, 2-3/10mb up) I teAch with Microsoft Teams/Skype. Phone to sort issue, engineer can’t fix it, phone (multiple times) cut off after being on hold for over 1 hour.

  The only thing I miss about Ukraine is my grand parents. Kinda sad to see how they are getting old but I do my best to help them.. tryna call couple times a week on Skype and send some money. But attention is the biggest thing they need.

  @changeist I did a fake ad for Caspar after someone mentioned having had a break through after sleeping on the issue. Also for Skype, which I have been using since 2004. "Skype, we were around before Zoom!"

  Work group chat is going off today with computer issues. Nobody has called IT and one of them literally types in all caps. I’m trying to watch anime and the dang work Skype pop ups won’t stop

  I don't know why people are paying so much money for Zoom accounts that can host meetings longer than forty minutes when Skype offers the exact same service for free.

  @jeremyburge Yeah it's very weird. But the quality of Skype is really rubbish these days, I've had multiple issues with it on the rare occasion I had to use it in 2020. They had a unbeatable lead and somehow dropped the ball completely.

  What do you all use to do video chats? I was under the impression that Skype will shut down your account if you get **** during a video chat.

  they became the defacto messaging service because they were better than skype, but now they are being dethroned by other services that are becoming better than them they fail to innovate or follow trends, often only implementing things long after other services

  @GeorgeMonbiot @TeaJunkie1 I have no idea why you’d put words in my mouth. I do not think the pandemic is a fraud. But again I ask you to speak w the scientists who are pointing out the problem with false positives.Instead of erroneous attacks on me on Twitter, please join us for a proper Skype discussion.

  @Skype & @Viber cannot be used for calling emergency services (routing, location problems). In some regions of #Bulgaria people have cable internet, but no telephone service. Thus thousands of people have no way of telephoning emergency services. #survival

  Interesting. I wonder if many or just how many WhatsApp accounts were compromised or hacked And what what will users with no finger scan or webcam to do? Migrate to Telegram, Viber, Skype, Wex, Wire, Wickr or Signal (Signal which in itself has some issues...that's another story)

  @InTheBleachers @LaBeck81 Skype for Business is a hideous product that once crashed a literal supercomputer I was using...I'm sure there are ways to lean it down, but I assume most people using it at work like I was can't make those changes. Constant notifications, pop ups, etc. too. Did it to themselves

  @spencermorgan93 It is grinding me down slowly, 11 months since I met with my team from work, we have a Friday breakfast catch up and I'm really not interested in dialing in on Skype. When I do I don't say anything

  Has anyone else's S.O. told them off for urinating too loudly whilst they're on a Skype call? I said "Calm down, my camera is off and the bottle isn't even half full yet."

  @ka9q @hyc_symas IPv6 is neither necessary nor sufficient. The problem is phones—they don't have stable IP addresses, nor can they be always online, because that eats battery. Can we have a p2p signaling/etc network? Sure—look at file-sharing, Skype, etc. The other big problem is naming.

  @cbkwgl Barkha Dutt, once a powerbroker, is running a YouTube channel with Skype Video calls. Nira Radia nowhere to be seen. Nidhi Razdan into fake degree issue now. Shekhar Gupta regularly requests people to be subscribers of Print. NDTV in debt case. India Today in TRP case.

  @SkypeSupport @Skype this is urgent, I am on the phone trying to cancel a flight home that was cancelled, my credit hasn’t gone down and I can’t add credit, I am worried the call will just cut off. #customerservice
