@jonerp "Sometimes when you oversimplify an app or service, you harm it - or make it unrecognizable to those who built your audience." - Skype is the poster child for this.

@_Jean__Valjean @kerri_HD @adrianraee Lol I wouldn’t go that far... the only scenes that work are the found footage. Otherwise you’ve got Vin Donofrio telling Ethan Klein “It looks like you’ve got a Baghoul problem on your hands there boss” over Skype. Riveting.

Bye bye, @Xfinity. I don't need full service. I'll live without a remote pass. Bye bye, @Microsoft. All the calls that Skype missed or misforwarded & now I need your Edge browser to access my settings. Should have dumped you as soon as you ended free service. Good riddance.

Did patents help Skype from having it's lunch eaten by zoom? Why are there still new chat platforms up and coming? Who would think that Email could still be competitive?

I have a Teams meeting at 10.45 and I'm using a five year old Mac... I sat down at 10.10... After 35 minutes of failed attempts and spinning beachballs I've had to log in as guest because I apparently don't exist. Whatever was wrong with Skype? Skype worked perfectly fine!

@Skype I'm concerned for the wellbeing of one of my Skype contacts, but don't have enough information for his local police to help. I've sent a direct message with more information. I've been in touch with Skype support twice now, but no dice.

@ServiceCanada_E @CanRevAgency No problem, I'll just stay up late and call at your convenience to ask if you'd please do your jobs. Now do I use my cell which is on a pay-as-I-go plan so I use minutes even if a collect call, or should I use Skype so I use minutes even if collect call?

@translationtalk I'm having this issue now and I'm not quite sure why. I used to be able to skype with no problem. However, I can no longer use my home connection to use Skype or Zoom. I have to use my cellphone! It's a huge issue for me.

@C19LongHauler @Hol_Jessica @preshitorian Mostly talking in specific circumstances like if I have to give a talk on Zoom or Skype. It also happened (more moderately) when walking. But it's really uneven i.e. I have periods when it's 99% min 96%. And others (in relapses) when it goes down in freefall.

@ecommerceshares I don’t think network effects work *as powerfully* in p2p as they do in broadcast/social. The original issue you’ve highlighted is the right one — execution risk from mgmt. Skype didn’t evolve for years (like Twitter) and an objectively superior product came along.

@SkypeSupport hi, if I start a free conf call Is there a way to terminate the call so no one else can join into it going forward? eg/. teacher sends help desk link out in the morning but then wants to end it (or stop people joining) at the end of sch day? Thanks.

@TheeMarkZ Mark you may have to go into camera settings and give Skype permission from Windows settings. I had an online meeting a few months ago on an old PC and had this issue.

@Skype Is it okay to create a new Microsoft account to get help in this matter even tho it will not be connected with her Skype account whatsoever?

Why oh why do Sly TV insist on using Skype to interview people via Skype, it is by far the worst of ALL chat systems available. No other service uses such dated systems, suffering from voices out of sync, frozen screens and people. Invest in modern technology!!
