And being distracted with terrible news, I may be better off keeping all Skype meetings on mute.

@BreitbartNews As far as I’m concerned, none of them need to return. They can Skype, Zoom like the rest of us. Think of all the money we could save. Plus K street wouldn’t be right down the street. Stay Home

@fsphil @Stephen_Neal Very true. Apart from the noise and bandwidth problem, any fast movement would have colour fringing as it moved significantly before the next colour frame. Ok I suppose for static shots. Still better than all these Skype interviews on TV today 😂

@bradgilmore @rodemics Gotcha. Im assuming you’re recording into the device itself on an SD card...so my recommendation would be to Bluetooth the MacBook to your rodecaster and do the skype call that way. Or use an iPhone or IPad Skype and Bluetooth it as well. There’s a few YouTube vids that may help

@elizqueenmama @kaplajk @PirateQueenKate Feel free to overgeneralize. On a Skype HH with 3 of them as we speak, and I love them but they are the worst. And your way of solving my "problem" made me feel heard. That's the difference. 😆

@MichelleKHarper Ironically, consumer Skype is pretty good as a (albeit basic) chat service - but Skype for Business is simply unusable and grounded in legacy Exchange architecture.

I’ve spent the last 45 minutes trying to help set up a Skype call between Nola and her friend from South Korea with limited English. I’m not sure Skype could be any harder to use.

@discord I'm having an issue on my @Google pixel 3 voice channel not letting me use an external microphone. Not a hardware issue. Works fine for zoom calls, phone calls, and Skype. Discord app picks up no signal.

@One_Dads_View I usually work from home a day a week. Even before this happened, I was thinking whether I could do two - my job involves hardly any face-to-face contact anyway as it’s mostly Skype calls. The issue is it’s against company policy - if I worked from home more, I’d have to ...

So the optics are terrible and the opsec of using a personal cell phone or FT Zoom account unforgivable (this is what Skype numbers are literally for), but this isn’t a scandal and the reporter was definitely given the invite by employees who wanted accountability

@GayRobot_ @macolon2 @SkypeBusiness Yes, I know. They’re contract with my work is for Skype (when moved away from Teams). Regardless, they have a product that they’re still in charge of but not doing anything about it. This is one of my many issues w/ Microsoft.

- no Google hangouts as sound was not working for someone - no zoom because someone was not allowed to install that We ended up with Skype. Wow, then you realise how out-of-date it is. We couldn't find each other through search. A generated invite for the meeting did not work.

@ignitionCountry NY is shut down except for essential businesses. I have to do my music by Skype. And my day job is on limited access as we are essential but need social distancing.

@DarkoneOfDamned @WynonnaEarp The problem with zoom is that it is very hackable and has been hit numerous times over the past few months that's the main reason I suggest Skype, just a little more secure.

@HelenFenton15 @LizDurrant19 @irisbenson100 As well as being a service user, I've also been a volunteer for 3 years. But in this difficult time stuck at home, I asked if any work I can get on with while at home, but nothing. Although I'm participating in a meeting next week (via Skype), so that's good, I need more of that.
