    Vegas con contacts me to be a guest. Asks to interview me via Skype to discuss future plans. Get on skype- he looks me up and down and then tells me I don't have enough followers and to contact him when I reached 10k. Reached 10k and beyond. Will never contact him.

  • bldngnerd Matt Hillyer (@bldngnerd) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    I think I found a fix for my Skype being broke by hyper-v. Reinstalling hyper-v to test. Wish me luck. I really need to be able to host virtsual machines on my laptop again.

  • bendell Benjamin Dell (@bendell) reported from Farnborough, England

    @jamesjgill Lol i feel your pain. This is why I stopped using Skype a couple of years ago. The UX is just terrible.

  • alexjacksondir Alex Jackson (@alexjacksondir) reported from Honiton, England

    Also a special thank you to my partner in this particular crime @elainef99 who has been a total inspiration to me throughout the whole process and has put up with some terrible Skype problems and remote working solutions in order to make it happen.

  • SizzleOndaBass Brown Skin Boi™ (@SizzleOndaBass) reported from Johannesburg, Gauteng

    Work wouldn't even be an issue, I'd just take my laptop, find a hot desk, Skype in if need be.

  • BalGill2020 Balvinder Singh Gill (@BalGill2020) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    My parents love me deeply and want me home. They made an error because I am an entrepreneur not a psychopath. @garyvee i am active and read 4 hours a day and talk on skype. They thought i was talking to myself

    Skype problem gambling meeting coming up at 4pm eastern. Hit me or @JPWdel1955 for an invite! #recovery #onedayatatime #stigmafighter #stigmafree

  • GHOneTV GHOne TV (@GHOneTV) reported from Accra, Greater Accra Region

    We say doctor-patient ratio is low but that data was collected before the age of digital. Now we can use technology to cut down direct contact with patients, like talking to patients through Skype — Kwame Sarpong Asiedu, health expert #GHToday with @Serwaa_Amihere

  • speirin Henry Joseph-Grant (@speirin) reported from Berlin, Land Berlin

    @Suhail .... And anything that is good which they acquire literally goes down the toilet e.g Hotmail, Skype, Linkedin etc etc etc. Their only product that I rate highly is their business intelligence software.

  • pritch008 Ron Prichard (@pritch008) reported from Auckland, Auckland

    @TheAirIsHeavy @lisastark351 Was thinking about that overnight. Skype would be OK for the wedding but the honeymoon might be a bit of a let down.

  • YorkiePug Sandy likes pugs, yorkies & Martin Freeman (@YorkiePug) reported from Blaine, Minnesota, Minnesota

    @221beees Drawful is fun! You wouldn’t wanna skype with me now, I look terrible right now 😅

  • Falabs Abisoye Falabi (@Falabs) reported from Lagos, Lagos State

  • tlhInganHom Hal (@tlhInganHom) reported from Minneapolis, Minnesota

    My Skype status at work is "Ugly bag of mostly water" and I was told that it makes at least one person uncomfortable. I suggested they watch more Star Trek but that didn't help.

  • dilribeiro DilRibeiro (@dilribeiro) reported from São Paulo, São Paulo

    @Plantronics I do love my headset but it’s just not working at all with Skype. I don’t know it the problem is with Skype or the macOS

  • marybethwest Mary Beth West, MPRCA, APR, Fellow PRSA (@marybethwest) reported from Maryville, Tennessee

    @VictorVrsnik @Caanz @EllaMinty @i_kostopoulos @PRSA My outcry over these issues led the then-PRSA Nat’l Chair to hold a Skype call with my local PRSA chapter board in Knoxville, TN, where I live/work, in which she defamed my motives & professionalism (I was not present to defend myself). #PowerAndInfluence

  • VTBobF Bob F (@VTBobF) reported from Burlington, Vermont

  • pauli_jorge Jorge Pauli Matos (@pauli_jorge) reported from Manhattan, New York

    @LegalizeitLala They should call it by their proper names. There's different farms just like ********. Krypto, Space X, Skype and many more. The problem is: they don't have any THC. They are big Bud's but very poisoning. They're called smokable buds which can be purchased on line sent by UPS.

  • Shandelly22 shandel (@Shandelly22) reported from Tempe, Arizona

    now we’re on a work Skype call together and it’s just us while the other person went to the bathroom this is awkward...HELP

  • kensy143 Mc_Mami (@kensy143) reported from Ocean Springs, Mississippi

    Lmao I kill myself sometimes. I’m online with a tech support agent and he’s accessing my computer trying to fix @skype. Can someone tell me why I was typing a message to him and erased it Bc I couldn’t remember how to spell a word... tbc

  • JamieB226 Jamie Booth (@JamieB226) reported from Grayson, Georgia

    I've wanted this for soooo long. One of two major issues I have with Teams vs Skype.

  • IrlEmbAthens Irish Embassy Athens (@IrlEmbAthens) reported from Galway City, Connaught

    If you’re trying to get in touch w friends or family use WhatsApp/FB messenger/Viber/Skype/similar platforms as there are some issues with phone signal & land lines. Elevators should be avoided if possible until all aftershocks have passed. Keep following local news for updates.

  • mortuarygem Mortuary Gem (@mortuarygem) reported from Romford, England

    @LauraFrancesT If you need a hand or help with anything let me know! I might be far away but there’s always Skype or something we could do a revision session x

  • hseidema Hans (@hseidema) reported from Prince Rupert, British Columbia

    @KalhanR You can call your voicemail number using Skype from desktop and use Skype's record call feature to save them as an mp3 on your computer. Then you can upload them to Google drive or any other cloud storage service.
