@Caged I haven’t found anything that’s great either but we are using 888Poker with a private lobby and Skype for chat. They’ve had a few network issues this week though. The only other option I found was Pokerstars private clubs.

Today I had to help interview someone for a position at my work via Skype. I put on a full face of makeup for the first time in weeks. Still didn’t wear pants though.

@ActivateLearn Wow. Some passionate defence of Microsoft on this thread. I have to agree though that Skype (consumer) has dropped off my apps. I only installed it on my phone again yesterday to give some advice to someone who wanted to run a virtual church service over it.

Really feeling for everyone with kids today 💛 wish I could help! I’m home and have all the time in the world, so if I can be of any digital help, please let me know. I can skype your kids and read them a story or play a game with them somehow if you want a break.

I just had the worst experience with @skype. It made me login in @Microsoft 15x. No wonder Gates stepped down. So glad I bought stock in @apple instead of your subpar organization.

If anyone else experiences this problem, the user was also connected to Skype. Signing out of Skype resolved the Darth Vader voice issue. #TechTip

@drraja_ @gmcuk too preponed my exam to help facilitate august recruitment so I was wondering if the PLAB2 can be taken earlier than June via skype & if I (or people like me, with experience in critical care or A&E) pass, we can join early and help the NHS when it needs doctors the most.

Played a game of D&D over video call today. Initially tried Skype because everyone had it installed, switched to Zoom because we were having issues hearing each other. I’m flabbergasted at how much better Zoom was. Skype struggled with audio, zoom managed video with no issues.

@MichaelGillett I can confirm, after not having used my #Kinect with @Skype on the @Xbox One for almost 2 years, that stability has improved greatly! The Kinect no longer shuts itself down requiring a reboot of the system! (knock on wood) #Miraclesdohappen!

Bad news is that a pandemic is bearing down on all of us, causing the City Council to go from 12 committees, with meetings held at City Hall, to 2 committees conducted via Skype. The good news is the acronym for one of the new committees is POGO.

@MiaFarrow My spouse is a surgeon and the answer is no. Sorry I am just trying to help. Here in Germany we are even accepting patients from France. This virus is spreading fast. Be vigilant. Use FaceTime, Skype or whatever works for you. Best wishes from Germany.

A week since my last face to face work meeting, no Skype/MS Teams/Zoom meetings since then either. Now beginning to look like a down and out, wonder how long I can go without shaving.

@NiecyOKeeffe I was shouted at in work for not having a profile pic for my Skype calls but the issue was solved by me uploading a school photo (year 2 at Primary school). I have a phobia about seeing myself, I don't have a graduation photo and I only consented to wedding pics under duress
