  • BishVg VGBish (@BishVg) reported

    @4Most_gg @DarkMorningGam1 @NextGenPlayer Just to pick a couple from your list, movie maker still exists in windows 10, windows Skype for business? Sounds like microsoft teams to me, minecraft earth never took off, why fund a game that's losing money, same with windows phone and kinect, sales go down, company stops sale

  • apocalypseera Mohammed (@apocalypseera) reported

    @NadeenYousef how come! Teams is great in all aspects, maybe you have a poor internet connection, cuz i couldn't find any issues dealing with it, about the full screen issue, maybe i didn't face because i have a 2 screens setup, but Skype is literally horrible, specially when it comes to chats

  • AurosVR Auros (@AurosVR) reported

    @abcbadq The main thing that made people jump from Skype to Discord is the targeting towards gamers and the problems IT didn't have that Skype did have. SOMETHING needs to come that is refined out of the box. At this point in time I don't think that the early access clones can do it.

  • yahoowahooidk Yahooey (@yahoowahooidk) reported

    @firemasterpug @lesbianchongyun @takakinnie because twitter thinks all problems in society could be solved if jacob.minecraft.2013 on skype spoke up about the thing he knows nothing about for his 3 followers

  • SamoScopom SamoScopom (@SamoScopom) reported

    Hi, @EposVox you have been a huge supporter of @Skype NDI and I really like the idea. Do you know if it still is in active development? I had some weird latency issues. Especially with audio the latency kept changing during the stream. But video had also latency issues.

  • JezCorden Jez 👩🏻‍💻 (@JezCorden) reported

    @Hunter4J @XcloudTimdog Skype is baked into Microsoft Teams which is very successful. But Discord has just overtaken the service at a fundamental quality level that Skype can't match.

  • Skype Skype (@Skype) reported

    @Ngadhnjim (1/2)Hi! We understand your frustration if you're unable to call a number in Albania using your Skype credit, and we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. No worries, we're here to help. Have you checked if the number or contact is blocked by mistake?

  • Roberts175 Keith Roberts 🇺🇸 (@Roberts175) reported

    @fjm1947 @BuzzPatterson I’m retired now. I was halfway thru a 23 year career when email became a thing. I deployed a bunch. By my third deployment or so I was able to Skype with my kids. Game changer. But also brings its problems. Spouses find out about injuries and such within minutes.

    Anne 04/2013 ex-CHRO Skype said keep her updated; heard how treated at King by Execs ie CEO & Advisers, witnessed at Skype 2010/11. Post Skype I go to Sardinia; clear RZ CEO knew, how? Went with Mhairi Watson (ex-KPMG at RBS); her behaviour odd. 2013 she lied about me; help them.

    @HHShkMohd Great? But how about the communication issues which remote employees would face? The restrictions on Skype etc.

  • prilozatweets Priloza👄 (@prilozatweets) reported

  • JewishCatMother Caroline Ost (@JewishCatMother) reported

    @JustMissEmma When this bullshit is over, have you thought about having hypnotherapy to help control the pain etc? It could help you control these symptoms. Actually maybe you could Skype someone now. It's a thought.

  • guineapig66 Vivienne Tuffnell (@guineapig66) reported

    @colinrtalbot @fleming77 @janinegibson Skype are now doing backgrounds & I have the same problem (white/blonde hair) as it sort of trims off my excess. Weird.

  • criscoglade Luke Butterfield (@criscoglade) reported

    Some nights he would Skype family and cry for their help. Other nights after the lights had been turned off, I could hear him sobbing / sniffling while lying in bed. He had no friends. Eventually this became too much for me and I asked my advisor to be moved somewhere else.

  • Andrew51750081 Andrew (@Andrew51750081) reported

  • JazJanes Dr. Jasmine Janes (@JazJanes) reported

    @Sharon_SnowJade Teams seems pretty terrible for video stuff esp. if you want to see Teams docs/chat at same time. Zoom/Skype - ok. BlueJeans - defunct? LogMeIn - not sure yet. Then add the random assortment for lectures/conference... so many!!!

  • letsgo5660 a (@letsgo5660) reported

    @WWE My only issue I've had is difference in picture quality. Don't have a problem streaming anything else but I try this and suddenly it's like I'm watching it though Skype. How is this acceptable for 2021?
