    And if you're complaining that Christmas is cancelled, boo ******* hoo! Stay home and adapt to the changes. Last time I checked, Skype / Zoom were still in service, take advantage of it.

  • Paestrol Paoes TRol (@Paestrol) reported

    In-person meetings help foster relationships in a way that Skype or conference calls often do not.

  • BellaNutella9 BellaNutella (@BellaNutella9) reported

    @sturdyAlex We’re quite lucky in that I’m a scientist so I’ve been preparing my family for a Skype Christmas since summer, but I am so angry for all the people who Johnson mislead with his false hope. You need to be able to trust the prime minister and he’s let the country down so so badly🤬

    **** you and your problems. Give Me the money and go away. Nothing gets you off than a bratty asian girl flipping you off and telling you to **** off. I deserve it all: $YourMoneyIsMine69 💵 Available for sessions and **** rates #FinD #KIK #SKYPE

  • RushinOnYT rUsHiNNnnN (@RushinOnYT) reported

    @mohashdefat @JakeSucky some skype messages phantomlord sent to his site developer in order to help rig huge jackpots for content (might be slightly wrong, it's been a while)

  • thepolishpen Hey you guys! (@thepolishpen) reported

    @RoninSamTripoli Who is responsible for Zoom’s swift takeover of video communication? It was overnight. I work for a large co. (a Business Roundtable member) and they wasted no time dumping Skype. It was odd because it was right on the heels of all the reports of Zoom’s terrible security flaws.

  • Orkneywren Rhona King (@Orkneywren) reported

    @JoBo1806 Does using Skype/zoom or whatever help? Just have them there to chat while you do daily stuff may help. We're planning family bingo nights in the weeks ahead.

  • Scarfey88 B S (@Scarfey88) reported

    @Skyebaby8Susan @andr3wmorton @edinburghpaper They clarified this morning nurseries are included in the lock down. Unfortunately pre schoolers can’t be looked after via Skype so it’s back to trying to work and childcare concurrently...

  • izzybelle1964 💥 Cheating in not Winning 💥 (@izzybelle1964) reported

    @RaheemKassam I was always intrigued by the sudden popularity of zoom during Covid lockdown. Whatever happened to Skype? Zoom basically came out of nowhere and were how businesses small to large continued to operate during the shut down, so who knows what the CCP learned while easedropping...

    @SkypeSupport HOW DID SKYPE BECOME SUCH A WORTHLESS, OUTDATED APPLICATION. I HAD IT FOR OVER 10 YEARS AND NOW IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO USE IT, TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. LOOKING FOR ALTERNATES NOW.

  • loulauder loulou66 3.5% (@loulauder) reported

    @EleanorRylance If we are in lockdown they will need to negotiate via Zoom/ Skype etc. This last minute change will just run the clock down and either leave with no deal or extend the transition period or cancel altogether

  • vivjones10 Viv Jones (@vivjones10) reported

    @CStewartSHS Terrible year. Perhaps if you plan Xmas dinners for the same time you could join together via Skype. Can’t pull the crackers together but you could share the jokes. It will be a different Christmas for many but for many no change. So many people on their own. X

  • MarkSlapinski Mark Slapinski Journalist (@MarkSlapinski) reported

    I'm looking to cover the protest at @PeelPolice HQ, could any of the community members or members from @MaltonMovement let me interview them on Skype for 5 - 10 mins? I'll use it in a video. I think I can help you out. #DefundthePolice #Malton

  • ActaNon67624162 ActaNonVerba (@ActaNon67624162) reported

    @FactTank Yea. No kidding! I'm overseas & calling people in the US but bc I'm using Skype or a PAYG service (varies country to country) ppl don't answer bc they don't recognize the number. Hey, answer the damn phone! If you don't like what you hear, hang up! Easy-peasy. Don't be scared.

  • lauralarmo Laura Larmo (@lauralarmo) reported

    @catherine_mayer @O2 Do you use Skype? Can that be used for that kind of customer service calls?

  • GoddessVickyCat Goddess Vicky Cat 😼 (@GoddessVickyCat) reported

    I’d love to choke a beta down til I maxed out its credit card then spit on its face to let it know its useless after that. No money = useless Available for sessions and **** rates #FinD #KIK #SKYPE

  • Laura722 Laura (@Laura722) reported

    I totally forgot about the extended promo after they didn't upload it last night. Looks good, but I can't help but be disappointed that Sami is going to find out about Allie's **** over Skype or whatever. #Days

  • jennifertchan Jennifer Taylor Chan (@jennifertchan) reported

    @RogerJBaker No issues whatsoever. You can't even tell that Rosetta is translating native Intel apps. Most of my apps are basic, though: the suite of Microsoft Office apps, Notion, Spotify, Todoist or Things 3, Zoom, Skype, Dropbox, Adobe Acrobat, Lightroom, etc.

    @KlotzBets If her family can't understand that's their problem not hers or yours. If they want to gather so badly, let one of them host. It's better to forgo it this year so the gathering next year can include everyone and be bigger and better. There is always zoom or Skype or FaceTime.

  • FernMoniz Fernando (@FernMoniz) reported

    @SkypeSupport My phone does not display the callers, once I move them to top-right corner. Only says +3...if three extra callers. I tried to uninstall and install several times. Please help... I tried with an older version ... same problem. Help !!!

  • dakota_skyexxx dakota_skyexxx ⭐️ incorporated ⭐️ top . 89% on OF (@dakota_skyexxx) reported

    All I need for Xmas is a new laptop- and anyone who wants to buy an Skype show I can do it on my phone - or custom to help.... or donate or even buy me an Xmas gift. I’d be forever grateful.

  • secrethellzone locus’ divorce lawyer (@secrethellzone) reported

    l*cus and the counselor’s late night one on one Skype calls are like… such a blatant cry for help but l*cus definitely doesn’t see it as that and either way it doesn’t matter bc he’s crawling to someone who built a career out of psychological manipulation and exploitation lmao
