I’ve had my laptop for 1 yr & use it for everything. I went to do a Skype interview- guess what won’t start up! So now I get to spend 1/2 of today @ the store diagnosing it & how much it’s gonna cost to fix instead of the day & a half I finally get to spend with my family. Cool.

@SkypeSupport There was no instslled Skype. I grabbed from the App Store. I solved the issue (kinda) by downloading the Skype Preview installer and running it in Win8 compatibility mode.

@gnat I think it's because they're reallocated numbers with long histories of previous owners putting down their phone number everywhere. I've had a US Skype number for a decade and it still gets some rubbish (although not nearly as much)

@SkypeSupport Half of the problem was the barrage of non-sensical questions at the start of the session. I launched the app and it wanted to update. Then it was asking me to update my avatar, and then a bunch more things. When I got to the call the audio was awful until we turned off video.

@SkypeSupport The network was fine for my Google Hangout just before (and is generally fine for that too - it typical measures 50Mbps up & down and is managed corporate network). I don't use Skype often, just when the other party requests it, but it typically is bad when I use it.

I used to use @Skype daily. I haven't been able to open it for a year - keeps crashing. Their phone support can't help Mac users and their email address is experiencing "communication failures." A voice communication tool that can't do voice nor communicate...

@virginmedia It’s down again now and, according to the @virginmedia recorded message , will be interrupted ‘for short periods’ until 6pm today. Pretty unhelpful, esp as I often use Skype to speak to interviewees abroad

@vaficionado @SkypeBusiness @zoom_us It was down yesterday too. Had back to back meetings yesterday which customers set up on Webex and Skype; Webex is so old and takes so long to join, skype just wasn’t working straight up. Love Zoom!!
