    @cbavington @lookingglassxl8 @memoQ_Official So I should probably clarify that my problem is not strictly with "track changes" but compare versions. I'd be interested if any of you can get "Compare versions" to work properly. I'd love to Skype with someone some time to see how it works on their computer.

    @MarkoftheGODS Skype always had connections issues but I think because they had no competition, there was no push to make a better more reliable product. They also didn’t save the chats you sent. Overall Teams is the better product because it integrates with your email and calendar via outlook

    @clownsupreme69 Hello, i saw you had problems with Skrll just recently. Can you please contact me via PM or leave some other contact, possibly skype, so we can speak about it briefly? It is about a possible solution. Thank you!

    In-person meetings help foster relationships in a way that Skype or conference calls often do not.

    @carlyziter I am often able to Skype/zoom into a class and answer everyone’s questions at once. I am not able to dedicate 30-45 minutes several times a week to help with a homework assignment no one will ever see again.

    @BTSCOMETOSA idk what happened, but if Skype was the issue, then you can try using Discord as the client next time.

    @zencastr disabled support for Zoom or Skype etc in parallel with the service, no way to record without using their VOIP. Alternative search begins.

    @scrowder Lockdowns. I'm 27 and looking to find someone to settle down with. Am I supposed to have a meaningful connection with someone via Skype? Not that I particularly care about social distancing, but meeting new people due to lockdowns has become nearly impossible.

  • pyrosa Werner (@pyrosa) reported

    @martinfowler we encountered performance issues with Skype on Macs. Yet teams appeared unaffected, so we switched to that almost exclusively. I can't recall if audio calls were also bad, but it was certainly less bad. Also CPU related, but can't recall what process.

  • Emiko_Wisp SuccuFae Emi~ RHINOSl!!!❤💛💚💙💜 (@Emiko_Wisp) reported

    I really miss her. She had a lot of family issues and was trying to stay afloat. I hope she's okay, and I think a lot about her sometimes. I still keep Skype on my phone hoping one day we'll get in touch again.

    Like I know there are bigger fish to fry right now, and there are much bigger problems happening in the world but Skype can also learn that it can eat my ***.

    Anybody here use Ubuntu 20.04?! - Upgraded on Sunday and now whenever I watch a video (YouTube, Zoom, Skype) fans go into overdrive and the thing eventually shuts down. Worked fine on 18.04. Help? #Linux #Ubuntu

  • MineralDoc MineralDoc (@MineralDoc) reported

    @_serenitystar_ @smart_bn With some companies they keep changing their numbers around. That is one of the issue with Skype type numbers, they hide the true number just like 0345/0845 special service ones.

  • Veeren_Jubbal Veerender Jubbal (@Veeren_Jubbal) reported

    @dphrygian I still feel very horrible that I did not help other than that one Skype video call we did.

  • FishChips1 Justine Robilliard....Joe Biden Winner!! .🏳️‍🌈 (@FishChips1) reported

    @Windows Not an error message, just no function, I cannot drag a file on my mac laptop finder onto my hp in the finder, I used to be able to do this, SMB problem maybe? Something to do with permissions on the HP win10 setup..hence me asking for a skype call...
