  • eduserrano Eduardo Serrano (@eduserrano) reported

    Question: I have a remote setup here, my NLE video output and monitors all connected into the ATEM Mini, zoom/skype is not cutting it in terms of resolution/streaming. Is there any service that could get a better peer 2 peer connection? Streaming directly to an NDI hardware?

    @jstn @noahkalina Maybe the three of us start a new podcast that’s only about drugs but Noah and I get everything wrong and you try to correct us but Skype keeps cutting out your audio. It’s called Broken Doors. Please like and subscribe.

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

  • nat_larimer N@ Larimer (@nat_larimer) reported

    this year I'm thankful that my boyfriend knows more about Skype and Zoom technical issues than I do so he can take the tech support calls

  • USEmCee USEmCee. (@USEmCee) reported

    @beeredbrewer I can use open office if that's an issue or they haven't figured it out yet tbh. As long as it has a camera on it for Skype type stuff etc and I can do administrative stuff, I'm pretty happy.

  • AndrewEyedea Skateboard Cat (@AndrewEyedea) reported

    What the **** you guys use Skype? If you are having issues I would recommend Teams. Skype stinks. @LandauDave #AFairOne #compoundmedia

    You can't act surprised when your loli (or whatever fetish) server gets clapped on a service that is designed to essentially be skype for gamers

  • HaveFunBiz Bethany Johnson (@HaveFunBiz) reported

    @SkypeSupport Can you please tell me what is going on with your connection to Microsoft. You have closed me out of Skype and your STUPID System to log in with my user name or email is not working? What's with your satanic code of 6666 that does not work. MESSAGE ME URGENTLY

  • DaniDuck Dani Duck (@DaniDuck) reported

    Can't call my mom on Thanksgiving because of a restriction on her phone. 😞 This is the first time I've had this problem. Usually call her on Skype, but calling her directly from my phone will not work either. They changed her number on her and now it's restricted.

  • BizLawyerATL Nicole Theodore Esq. (@BizLawyerATL) reported

    Every time I schedule yet another zoom call, I can’t help but think about how royally Skype fumbled the bag.

  • Dyounger_ Danny Younger (@Dyounger_) reported

    @Skype I'm trying to make calls to UK from my account but I'm getting a message 'sorry your call cannot be completed' please can you help?

  • erickirkland Ericc (@erickirkland) reported

    Hey @Skype your ”tier 3” support SUCKS. I have spent over 70 days now on a simple major bug I found and no one will do anything but give me simple troubleshooting tips. I’m done with it. Keep your shitty app shitty if you don’t want my damn help.

  • Ezzy192158 the peepee man (@Ezzy192158) reported

    Guys help i was falling asleep and i start hearing the skype call sound and i wake up and look around and nothing is there i think im starting to imagine things because nobody even uses skype in my house the song is just there

  • mikewiow MikeW (@mikewiow) reported

    @SkypeSupport On a business call. Overtime someone new presents, I lose the screen and have to sign out and rejoin. Why is this so difficult? Never an issue with @zoom_us

  • sparkybakewell Crystal Tipps (@sparkybakewell) reported

    @SkypeSupport hello. Pls could someone help me with an account/billing problem. I’ve been on the app chat for over an hour and got nowhere with the assistant. I was then unable to send messages. Thank you

  • rkbennet Dr. Rachel K. Bennet (@rkbennet) reported

    we *can't* gather on zoom or skype or your video chat of choice, because my parents live in a place with no cell service and where high-speed internet only comes via a bandwidth-restricted satellite service, and they don't even have a webcam or microphone anyway

  • ricky_bright Ricky Bright (@ricky_bright) reported

    @imyke Super pedantic but, Teams (deep down is based on Skype). Skype For Business got renamed and became Lync, which got eaten by Teams.

  • VenomKitetsu Venom (@VenomKitetsu) reported

    @jasonrantz Alotta congregations are doing mass Zoom/Skype gatherings. There a particular reason that wont work in lieu of the absurd lock down restrictions or does God not hear prayers that come from a household? I know this all sucks, but there's ways around this.

  • ZeframM Zefram Marks (@ZeframM) reported

    @stephenjudkins I cannot express how much Skype sucks. There is no way to just enter an ID. You have to do a global search by name. But you can use it with phone numbers...for money. I was able to use Zoom over an Nvidia Shield, but only after a janky install and with a terrible webcam.
