    @lazerwalker actually the main issue with skype is that it watermarks the image! it's simple enough to crop out but if you want fullscreen images you end up needing to ask your participants to sit off-center

    @yukikopls Whatever helps is good! I could never do that offline cause I'm unconfortable being around persons and I really hate talking. With Skype etc it would be the same problem for me, I guess. So if you would want your therapist to do text-chat only, do you think they would accept it?

    @IAmAmnaNawaz @WTOP Great job. So sorry about the technical issues. Does the NewsHour have to use Skype? I imagine so. So good to see you in that chair.

    @MTNNG Good day. I have an issue with you guys. I purchased over 10,000 naira data to be able to have an easy job interview today but unfortunately I could not connect to skype for the job interview. Could not even send text messages. It was that bad.

  • gavinrich3 gavin rich (@gavinrich3) reported

    @catacalypto I had a student who passed away and their skype account got hacked a year later. I broke down crying and pleaded with the person or bot or whatever to please not use that account. That split second of hope before your brain catches what is going on is crushing.

  • shinydh David Howell (@shinydh) reported

    @maayanvoss @LisaNeher Thank you! I was just thinking about you because of the sheer unadulterated anxiety I had when one (1) phrase onset didn't work in the Skype workshop we did! I felt that awful about asking you to do something uncomfortable, even though the fix wasn't that big?

  • KrishnajithKJ Krishnajith SRT (@KrishnajithKJ) reported

    @Microsoft, why don't you update the status of @Skype when we are in a @MicrosoftTeams call? Not sure if I'm the only one facing this issue!
