    Skype is basically mandatory in many companies, so this is really terrible. Thank god for useragent spoofing.

  • JurgenPfeffer Jürgen Pfeffer (@JurgenPfeffer) reported

    Wow! After using #zoom for an entire pandemic, I have totally forgotten how painful online communication was in the old #skype days - "thankfully", I had an MS Teams meeting today - lots of tech issues, poor video quality, 1/3 of participants never made it into the meeting.

    Also instead of asking him to write everything down you could have invited him to an interview over zoom or skype.

    @SimmingTingz but had she said sumn it would’ve been another one of those “This is the problem” skype call vids where he’d drag her for being in their business 😩😩

  • skmurphy skmurphy (@skmurphy) reported

    I picked up a pile of 3x5 cards I had written notes on and realized I have not had a face to face conversation over coffee or a meal or attended a talk where I needed to jot some key notes down in 9 months. All my conversations are computer mediated (Zoom / Skype) these days.

  • slipsyy ASHTON (@slipsyy) reported

    @SkypeSupport the audio on video calls is really quiet. We’ve tried updating, uninstalling and reinstalling and still nothing. Please help

  • AustinCam1010 Austin Campbell (@AustinCam1010) reported

    idk if this is only a skype for business on iPhone issue, but why does it take 2 hours to update with new messages? Tryna make some money here and I miss tons of **** because it won't update. so frustrating

  • ahmedabdulaal11 ahmedabdulaal1981 (@ahmedabdulaal11) reported

  • henchgirl_comic Kristen Gudsnuk (@henchgirl_comic) reported

    I didn’t even manage to pare down my wardrobe, a real softball goal. Nor did I Skype my family every week, pay estimated taxes on time, give up Diet Coke, or work out. Other goals were “go to Italy” (absolutely crushed... stupid Covid) and “finish Making Friends 3” (I’m so close)

  • VfromG VfromG (@VfromG) reported

    @SkypeSupport Why do I have to read a gazillion troubleshooting hints for a simple login? This is so Microsoft. I just want it to work. #youhadonejob

  • DottienRon President Elect Dottie Nelson (@DottienRon) reported

    I feel bad for people with depression , anxiety , etc. These drs. wont see you unless you google duo them- not everyone has access to an android - plus who wants to sit in a tent and talk about your problems in a skype format - do anyone get the problems some folks have???????

  • Kristonista President-Elect Kristof Somorayabiz (@Kristonista) reported

    @TulsiGabbard @JasonBermas It's like they want a tax revolt/revolution. To clamp down on us even harder perhaps. I dunno but I think we need to turn DC into a museum. All public officials can serve from their homes in their home States via Skype. No limos, no welfare for themandstopthis lobbyistparadise.

  • shehannnigans Hannah (@shehannnigans) reported

    Not me sending heart emojis to my coworkers on our Skype messages when they help me answer a question. WHERE IS THE ******* LINE HANNAH???

  • DinoRancho (Fake) Pastor Dino Den Esau, Hot Takes LTD (@DinoRancho) reported

    @MJGlass2 We have been messaging through Whatsapp for a long time. I had no idea that it had a video call feature until yesterday. I have Duo on my phone. Have never used it. I used Skype to make phone calls on a camp job with very little phone service, but never a video call.

  • siLynntmode siLynnt (@siLynntmode) reported

    I’m having a phone interview or a skype interview tomorrow Lord. Please help me get through it. 🙏

  • JacobMller3 Jacob Møller (@JacobMller3) reported

    @Skype Please fix the microphone volume on Skype for iPad! I have tried to update iOS, reinstall multiple times and whatnot, and it’s still super low... the other day the sounds was fine. The volume is working fine on @discord...

  • j_ledsall Jaime - MBA (@j_ledsall) reported

    I just told a coworker @_denisesalcedo joke about Carmella having Champagne Problems (via skype because you know WFH) he died...I'll check on him later

  • KerfuffleFur Kerfuffle (@KerfuffleFur) reported

    @TheCGDL But on another note.... doesn't this new regulation also ban Skype, zoom, discord and literally ANY service that allows video chat? Because, ANY video chat can be used for pornographic purposes.

  • soyoprincess DOTSM. Standing with ✡️ (@soyoprincess) reported

    So. Dad’s care home is closed due to a covid outbreak. Wonder how that got in when us relatives were not trusted to go in? Residents lucky enough to be ground floor can have “window visits”. Not safe to bring 3rd floor residents down tho. No Skype face to face Xmas either.

  • GoonerPayne gooner payne (@GoonerPayne) reported

    I am literally too tired and broken to ******* TYPE. if anyone wants to loser bate on Skype (cam or just mic) PLEASE HIT ME UP PLEASE KEEP ME GOING I NEED THIS

  • eatsruns Sarah, but festive 🎄⛄ (@eatsruns) reported

    @toria_jay My machine was made in the same year as my flat. It was a hand me down from a family friend. It broke and with dad's support via Skype I managed to fix it (he didn't really help but I don't think I could have done it without his encouragement!)
