  • lauraaloane Laura Anna Loane MA is not a cat. honest! (@lauraaloane) reported

    Anyone else on @O2 had No Service or one bar since this morning? Nothing's going through. Good for no distraction, but REALLY. Called the bank via Skype. There's a sentence I never thought I'd write...

  • AmyBetthh amy (@AmyBetthh) reported

    why does skype for business shutting down make me kinda sad

  • peltonquotes The Fabulist PeltonQuotes (@peltonquotes) reported

    KP: I went back and re-listened to the first episode we did via... Skype & it was REAL rough. If you thought there were a lot of awkward silences now, it was really bad. TC: Really? KP: Oh yeah, it was noticeably terrible... Now it's only marginally terrible @peltoncast 250, 0:12

  • GreyMaster11 GreyMaster (@GreyMaster11) reported

    @19syllables It’s okay, FaceTime, Skype and the like help, plus I know his consultant he’s the same guy who looked after mum this time last year, when I had to go down there following her pulmonary embolism, but it’s no substitute for being there.

  • _dearmoonlight silvie 💜 moistened toes (@_dearmoonlight) reported

    @liviasasjunius @tinysleepyhero oh boy..............i just found my logs but they're all xml and i guess i don't have a program to read that....thinking emoji skype was SUCH A LET DOWN after being able to make things all colorful and fun on msn i miss that energy

  • DerekBarrera_AI Derek Barrera AI (@DerekBarrera_AI) reported

    wtf Skype i help him...

  • Luyola 🔋Lu🔋Adams🔋 (@Luyola) reported

    @draecomino I don't get the moat here. The tech side is easy to replicate for sure. Entrenched user base maybe? That Didn't help Skype

  • goblin_screech Gerble! (@goblin_screech) reported

    I think my favorite part of all this was when people started putting words in my mouth and began acting like bullies and it caused for an artist I respect to talk down to me and call me an idiot. This is why I left Tumblr and Skype and was reluctant to join Twitter.

  • Willy_Knight William Knight (@Willy_Knight) reported

    @NiCHE_Canada @canenvirorock I described Skype as an "online telephone service."

  • sstaoil SSTAOIL (@sstaoil) reported

    @SkypeSupport Just when I call the number it is not working try to call you'll see. Thanks again

  • SuzanneStJames2 Suzanne StJames 🏳️‍🌈 #IndigenousLivesMatter #BLM (@SuzanneStJames2) reported

    @JenLeeCBC That's awful. My 84 yr old Dad is able to navigate the internet, Skype, emails, etc, but starts to panic when tech problems arise on sites. The AHS site is time-sensitive, too, which I don't think will ease the minds of seniors who get timed out & have to start over.

  • VictorEkman5 Victor Ekman (@VictorEkman5) reported

    @Enichan I use all the ridges when I type. Ridges are made to show potential. Just like when I used skype... Fell down from that service, life is consequential.

  • kithyperfixates 𖤐 𝓀𝒾𝓉 is mourning daft punk △ (@kithyperfixates) reported

    meant Skype not kik* I'm so broken

  • mancunianmedic david oliver (@mancunianmedic) reported

    @Manumu700 yes indeed but that was taken on the ward where i work at the hospital not doing a skype or zoom interview from my living room when i am not working - that is precisely the point

  • Mastacheata Benedikt 👨‍🏫🧑‍💻 (@Mastacheata) reported

    @edanbenatar @rafrasenberg They didn't kill Skype, they saved it from eBay. And in contrast to Google they didn't kill the service when they introduced alternatives. I still use Skype for our team's daily standup and sprint events.

  • ZiZLoG Sven Andriske (@ZiZLoG) reported

    @rafrasenberg What is to like about Microsoft when their main strategy is, buying someone else’s service or software, ie. entire company and sell it as theirs? 225 companies in total were purchased by MS so far, including Skype, LinkedIn, Nokia & GitHub.

  • Kaitain_US Kaitain 🇺🇸 (@Kaitain_US) reported

    "Hey I got a problem. Can you fix this now?!" "K, I'll let you know it's been fixed on Skype." *fixes problem and checks skype. Sees status has been offline for 2 hours." "********? Did he go home? Probably."

  • LenovoSupport Lenovo Support (@LenovoSupport) reported

    @bearsky8 Hi bearsky! Thanks for reaching out. When did the issue start? Are there any recent changes or updates prior? Does it only happen on Zoom? What about on other apps like Skype or Messenger? Erica_Lenovo

  • chronotopics katia💫 (@chronotopics) reported

    Wow though skype has gotten so much worse since i last used it. This is just like in the popular webcomic vast error

  • Bar_JamesWalsh James Walsh (@Bar_JamesWalsh) reported

    Has anyone dealt with @SkypeBusiness before? Really struggling to get it set up... @SkypeSupport any help??

  • Porno_Mall Male Physique (@Porno_Mall) reported

    @MergedMediaLtd I loved the trade shows. As a Gay Senior citizen, many Reps were downright insulting. Did business when I got back home, on email or Skype. Lots. With company personnel who don't get sent to shows. I've spent the past year wrestling down the credit card debt from those shows. Win

  • 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.

  • _lilianawuor Lilian (@_lilianawuor) reported

    Cisco Webex is terrible! I’d rather use Skype 😫

  • SnowBusterVN Snow Buster (@SnowBusterVN) reported

    Dying of laughter after solving the issue that had been plaguing me for weeks thanks to a 3 hour Skype troubleshooting call. The issue was literally equivalent to forgetting to put a ; at the end of a line of code, I feel like such an idiot lmao.

  • TheWeeMaverick Janis M Reilly 💙 (@TheWeeMaverick) reported

    2/2 homeschooling beside me while Dad keeps toddler going in other room. But I miss her now. I worry about her. I am happy for her. I'm exhausted again; this time it's the come down section. I continue to #ParentThroughAPandemic. 🎢 Support networks on Skype only. @suzannezeedyk

  • flavourine Flavourine (@flavourine) reported

    @SkypeSupport I am having trouble with my subscription for calls. It's asking me to recharge even when I bought subscription days ago for international calls.

  • cyanebooks cyanebooks (@cyanebooks) reported

    @JezCorden i still use skype when discord is down

  • JoPhillips124 Tis me (@JoPhillips124) reported

    Teachers never had any kind of ressources or help from @Sflecce. They learned online teaching by watching«you tube» videos, learned with colleagues via Skype & FaceTime. @Sflecce has no integrity. He cannot claim any success.They deserve more appreciation from @Sflecce.
