  • bitoclass Paul #DistantSocialising (@bitoclass) reported

    Finally shutting down my work computer now means I will never again see a Skype For Business chat window with @HG_Harper on it, but it also means I'm on leave for more than a day (nearly two weeks!) for the first time since March, so it's impossible to say if it's bad or not

  • AlanMorganCH Alain Morgan (@AlanMorganCH) reported

    @SQLDiplomat The only problem I've had so far was Skype deciding that the middle of an exam was a good time to make it presence remembered (must have been a background service). Otherwise, worked pretty well, no issue.

  • Datway8989 Jeff (@Datway8989) reported

    Drunk an horny!!! Down to #Skype

  • LRTpei Truth Fact & Dash of Opinion (@LRTpei) reported

    @CTVNews this traitor could just use Skype Teams fb live and save money time and resources - the scamdemic CRIME Minister would never miss an opportunity to skip down those stairs to his paid audience

  • stfelix Jake (@stfelix) reported

    Legit question why did we switch from Skype to Zoom during the first lock down?

  • Queen_Eden_99 Eden Bashir (@Queen_Eden_99) reported

    There are so many other small issues but these are the biggest two. @Skype please please please resolve them and give us another update.

    @JungleMaiden ((The entirety of México skipped out on Skype era and so many barely use Discord, they stay in Facebook and WhatsApp Messenger stuff. It is not really anything bad.)) ((Not really a problem, it is your choice if you wanna do it or not.))

  • LOUSBADHABIT alix wants to lick harrys biceps (@LOUSBADHABIT) reported

    idk why this is getting to me but i can’t log into my account on skype from my phone and i feel like i’m gonna cry like it’s literally not a big deal at all wtf i need to calm down

  • AskeBay Ask eBay (@AskeBay) reported

    @ThunderAngel454 Hi there - While our phone support is limited, that typically happens if you're calling from a third party relay service such as Skype or Google voice. Feel free to DM us more info about what's going on so we can help or get you to the right place. ~Mikayla

  • GenghisKahn The Only Chris (@GenghisKahn) reported

    @aaron_j_m Skype for business. Turned out to be an unrelated issue. There was a stuck excel process in the background.

  • StreamOfRon #RONDACTED (@StreamOfRon) reported

    @jayholler @Google Still leaps and bounds ahead of Skype for business. And before you point out meet: last I looked it uses the Skype for business backend to set up meetings and suffers from some of the same problems as a result.

  • bennettm0207 justbeingme (@bennettm0207) reported

    @regina74 What high expectation they UK has of a 1 year old. Have the Brits not heard of Skype? Zoom? The problem here is they don't know every move of Harry and Meghan because no one can leak anything about them. They are far removed from the hungry BM

  • JessaBella_SM Goddess 👑 Jessa Bella 💋 1.1K (@JessaBella_SM) reported

    Help support a cam girl trying to pay bills I need $1,300 by December 20th 2020 to pay for my plates... buy content. buy shows when I am online. buy skype shows... spoil me... 🤓 Every little bit helps xoxo

  • algorithmboomer Algorithm Consultant (@algorithmboomer) reported

    Last I checked I don't remember a massive surge of problems related to minors being groomed when Skype was the thing to use

  • shahharoon86 shah haroon (@shahharoon86) reported

    @KNXUK @KNXtoday Please If its possible Which person know KNX Programming they have Skype Id to Contact for Slove Some Problem from Programing.

  • itsljvaughn LJ Vaughn is writing sexy spies 👞 (@itsljvaughn) reported

    I was cleaning myself up enough to make the next Skype call and I suddenly realized my entire afternoon has just been wiping away tears and calming myself down enough to not sound like I was just sobbing during my next work meeting and... yeah. That's the whole mood right now.

  • solarcat 🎄Max🎄 (@solarcat) reported

    It's nearly 4:30. MOST people have already logged off, per Skype, but I'm going to sit at this computer until 5pm and then I'm shutting it down for NINE DAYS a;skdfja;ldskjfa;s ...and then will go into my living room and hop on my other computer. BUT THAT'S ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.

  • _jonquille Olga (@_jonquille) reported

    @MaarineG11 I'd give SLB the benefit of the doubt because she did this program in a hurry, she never worked with Aliona before and the fact that it was done by Skype didn't help too. still I think the main focus of Plush is to keep Aliona's jumps while she's growing which is understandable.

  • Murphhh6 LaVerne Murphy (@Murphhh6) reported

    @ReaLEE_Nah @cpt_franklin @B_Sharpe My phone is broken 😩 I can only Skype on my laptop 😢

  • Paestrol Paoes TRol (@Paestrol) reported

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

  • ukcloudpro Steve Chambers (@ukcloudpro) reported

    @emmakennytv My kids are 200 miles away in Scotland with a "difficult" ex. Thru not being able to see them, and with her turning skype video off and other shenanigans, one kid no longer speaks with me and the other is like a zombie. Terrible.

  • jthake Jeremy (@jthake) reported

    @jouniheikniemi @JussiRoine @sassdawe I’ve experienced the same thing on signal. I also trust Microsoft more as a platform than something like this too. Making a switch is def the biggest problem here. That’s why I think if you said “hey Skype is back, join me here” would make sense.
