  • jadechampagne_ JUICY JADE 🧁 (@jadechampagne_) reported

    I’m getting horny... I should fix that by ******* on Skype with someone 😝

  • gigtripper86 Rebecca Haslam (@gigtripper86) reported

    @MRosePlatform @jenniferemorrow @AriannaRebolini It's barely got above freezing here lately, and it's dark when I get up, but there's something about fresh air that can and does make me feel revitalised. We all miss being with friends and loved ones but zoom, Skype, letters or calls can help..

  • RealHFegelein Hermann Fegelein (@RealHFegelein) reported

    @erfloewen @karenkho Why do people use WhatsApp over Hangouts or Skype is what want to know. I don't like WhatsApp because it ties itself to your contact list and doesn't let you choose your own login. Plus it ties itself to ONE phone. I think Hangouts and Skype let me use my devices the way I want.

  • JaxsBeachLife Jax- it's not censorship if you're planning a coup (@JaxsBeachLife) reported

    Everytime they skype the connection is "really bad" "skype is just terrible. she was in a taxi but I know it was her, I saw her seatbelt"

  • Amanda_Troop Amanda Troop wears a mask (@Amanda_Troop) reported

    Someone hacked my @Skype account, FYI. I tried to then login and regain control of the account, and @Microsoft told me I didn't provide enough information to verify that I am myself. At least my account is blocked! If you get a weird Skype message from me... it's not me.

  • shinydh David Howell (@shinydh) reported

    @funkiepiano That latter reminded me of when i had a workshop of one of my compositions via Skype in the Before Times and the singer (from New York) had connection issues. She emailed a recording and we discussed it in chat box because video latency made even talking impossible to process...

  • NavyFederal Navy Federal (@NavyFederal) reported

    @MexTheSwindler Would it be possible to use a Voice over IP service to call us using Skype, Rebtel or Google Voice? This would use your internet connection instead of a phone line. If this doesn't work, please DM us so we can look into other options. ~GJ

  • small_IT Mike Allisette (@small_IT) reported

    We only have one telephone system around the world so why are there so many VOIP systems? ... "can you help me install... Zoom,Skype,Teams,Facetime,WebEx?" - and so the list grows! 🙄 #VOIP #lockdownuk

  • NYDB1962 Merry Quillmas (@NYDB1962) reported

    @discord I've ending my Nitro sub due to the actions of banning #wallstreetbets Discord Server. You wanna help the fat cats? Fine. Guess I'll switch back to @Skype and change where my money is going to go.

  • tblakeevanson My Info (@tblakeevanson) reported

    @elonmusk We can fix the economy and give Americans power to take care of themselves. It's a complex business with simple solutions. 1 email, Skype, or meeting is all it will take to explain. You do have the power to save us, I have the design

  • ChristyCasserl1 Christy Casserly (@ChristyCasserl1) reported

    @thejournal_ie Absolutely not, we're all staying and working from home attending meetings by zoom/Skype they seem to be exempt from travelling up and down the country to Dublin.

  • ThatBlindLad Jamie McAllister👨‍🦯💙 (@ThatBlindLad) reported

    @Skype hi, was using Skype to record this morning and realised the new update has made the app on my iPad inaccessible when selecting more options during a call, any help?

  • davidbix David Bixenspan (@davidbix) reported

    @PaulMacArthur I’d be pretty surprised if it didn’t work well. Biggest issue right now appears to be some companies that make audio tools being slow to transition or worse. Ecamm has said there won’t be a version of their Call Recorder for Skype that works on M1, even in Rosetta.

  • 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.

  • AidanHorn1 Aidan Horn (@AidanHorn1) reported

    understanding of what I need to do, that I wouldn't slip up and forget something. Apps help with remembering things. And there are so many apps these days. I think that people like using different types of messaging apps, such as Skype, Zoom, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack... 2/3

  • MistressEnvy3 Mistress Envy (@MistressEnvy3) reported

    A sub once told me on insta a while back that he was reporting me bc I told him to pay before I provided any service. Available for sessions and **** rates #FinD #KIK PALOMAENVY #SKYPE

  • forexassassins Michael Storm (@forexassassins) reported

    @TeenySpiderman absolutely. Click the sign up page on our website. Pay the fee... Contact us on skype I will pass the video course to you and we get started. It would be a BIG help if you could make it into the live room every day we start at 7 am EST 1 hour before the NY open. Lets do it.

  • ikatzsolutions iKatz Solutions (@ikatzsolutions) reported

    Interesting. I wonder if many or just how many WhatsApp accounts were compromised or hacked And what what will users with no finger scan or webcam to do? Migrate to Telegram, Viber, Skype, Wex, Wire, Wickr or Signal (Signal which in itself has some issues...that's another story)

  • SharpWitYT Sharp Wit (@SharpWitYT) reported

    Dear goodness, I'm so glad I have my therapies over Skype. If those would be over on Discord, I'd have like third week of problem with how much they are unhelpful and enables hacker to get away with hijacking accounts and staling money and gathering people's personal information.

  • blissfehmi 🥀🥀 (@blissfehmi) reported

    @0GrilledCheese0 Focus on last part mobile, it is understandable if he is using laptop and got issues to turn on DND, par he have logged in skype in mobile and turned on dnd

  • navywife0120 savannah (@navywife0120) reported

    @circmike That's why we had to place her and we placed her maybe 6 months before the pandemic...My grandfather was visiting everyday until this happened and now the best he gets is skype calls...whenever he did schedule to see her a nurse magically came down with covid and no visitations

  • malc_hill Malcolm Hill (@malc_hill) reported

    @Teriyakibiz @BorisJohnson Boris had to send troops to help out Scotland toll out as it was falling behind. Any good leader would follow up and check what the situation is now. your the one who doesn't have a clue you cant see what's happening in a Skype call

  • DennistheHeffer rude boy ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ (@DennistheHeffer) reported

    @Stresscasino why no skype me? We went back to kik so what’s the problem?

  • escapeartistes Theodora Sutcliffe (@escapeartistes) reported

    Starting the day right with a broken Skype microphone

  • DrugEdMCR Naomi Robinson (@DrugEdMCR) reported

    Today is the first time I've had to recognise my own limitations with #hearingloss being unable to follow a conversation on a conference call that I had to dial into because @Skype was not working for me. 1/2

  • mftsang YW (@mftsang) reported

    @Microsoft @Microsoft it's not a joke. Ctrl-C doesn't always work in Skype & OneNote. Fix your bugs before making jokes. There are some reasons why ppl keep on pressing Ctrl-C!

  • BookyGeeky BookyGeeky (she/her) (@BookyGeeky) reported

    @AlisonHendry16 I accidentally logged into someone else's meeting yesterday! Then attended an online meeting on Skype business where the host muted everyone's cam as it was a webinar so I couldn't see my terp- I nearly cried! Technical issues was resolved but was a nightmare. #TGIF

  • TruDimension13 Beepin' 'tiel-gryphon (@TruDimension13) reported

    @smollco Oh dang, discord problems still? my method didn't really work, then, huh? :< Yeesh, I wish I could help locate the problem better here, but my experiences with discord have been extraordinarily stable (compared to skype, urgh), even on my old PC ;v; Connection problems maybe?

  • mrshaughey Deirdre Cunningham (@mrshaughey) reported

    @thejournal_ie @MichealMartinTD to not lead by example again?? That trip will go down like a lead balloon, he cannot be seriously contemplating it?? How about actually considering a Skype call for once? How well received would that be?

  • AndrewDoc82 Andrew Daugherty (@AndrewDoc82) reported

    @GovMikeDeWine is there any reason ohio hasn't done anything to help enforce the CDC eviction memorandum? We have courts in Stow Ohio that aren't allowing in person hearings but will evict a person over Skype without hesitation
