    @discord Every week I have an issue with your app and on the web browser, when did discord become worse then skype. I guess the past year. #FIXDISCORD

  • WritingRosa Rosa Taylor (@WritingRosa) reported

    I read a post somewhere online about how you don't need to offer explanations for things, and I'm getting better at it. Friend wants to skype, I'm not feeling it but have no real reason to say no, I just write back "how about another day" and it's not... a problem...??? AMAZING

  • RDhaloria Ŕîťî 🏹🚜 (@RDhaloria) reported

    @Skype @SkypeSupport Why I am not able to login my skype account. Firstly, I sent the messages but I was not able to send even by connecting to wifi. Later, I uninstalled the app and downloaded again still I am not able to log in my #skype account.

    @j_thushar @AndroidAuth It’s not “totally under Facebook control”. Just the things I chat there I don’t care. It’s not different to send data when you use Skype or Teams or just “anonymous” data to help to improve services. But if you was sending sensive data through WhatsApp even before you was wrong.

    @Skype I need to actually talk to someone, I have tried your help in twitter but they either can't read english or are stupid cause they keep asking the same questions with the same instructions that I repeatedly told them do not work...

  • lreedling123 Lou💙 (@lreedling123) reported

    @matthaig1 Was just saying today actually, i think the thing im sick of the most is trying to think of things to do to fill the time. I couldn't motivate myself to read, cook, excercise, skype a mare or anything else this weekend. Weather doesn't help though, it'll be easier really soon

  • michael_bloch Michael Bloch (@michael_bloch) reported

    What is a good VoIP service/iOS app to call voice lines internationally when FaceTime is not available? I have been using Skype and wondering if there is anything better out there?

  • 64alexz19 Alexander Z (@64alexz19) reported

    @urbanthoughts11 Zoom will fix it. Or Skype

  • Henschbot Anna Henschel (@Henschbot) reported

    Sunday scaries out here getting scarier after the week we just came off of. If Skype goes down on Monday someone call the FBI.

  • crystalskyes80 Crystal Skyes (@crystalskyes80) reported

    @yakuseishou @FShishigami @Soujigi For the most part just use some sort of video chat program (I usually use Skype because you can output it to streaming super easy) and a webcam pointed at my playfield pointing down so it mimics playing in the shop.

    @SentMissMae Would you be down for a quick Skype drain Miss Mae? Take my money every time you snap your fingers on cam I must send

  • lolaaskar Lola Askar (@lolaaskar) reported

    @AppleSupport iOS 14.3 upgrade did not help - still no notifications for Whatsapp, Skype and now some other apps also. What is the point of a phone that does not give notifications!

  • loverofthelean joe ham (@loverofthelean) reported

    @Skype She can’t do the recovery since they changed the email address of her Skype account, is there any phone number to call regarding an issue like this?

  • Donna_Scully Donna Scully (at 🏡) (@Donna_Scully) reported

    @NickDelaney9 Ah sorry to hear that. I hear Mammy gets first vaccine on 18th January (Home in Dublin) so got everything crossed. I’m hoping to do skype today too (hopefully) but it’s not like seeing her, shopping & hugs. Miss her terrible x

  • realn2s Claudius Link (@realn2s) reported

    Has anybody seen a similar problem? Several times now my cameras are not working on #MacOS are not working (built-in #FaceTIme & ext USB). It's not an app problem, neither FT, Zoom nor Skype have video. Last time it worked after a reboot (not this time). #RT welcome

  • StephGunther Steph Gunther (@StephGunther) reported

    @SonjaMissio @24thminute My understanding is that a big problem has been illegal parties, so the curfew would mean nobody has an excuse to be out and about, so it would be easier to crack down on these. This is what my BIL was saying on skype earlier. But ya, he mentioned big box stores too.

  • fuckmylifecaps FUCK MY LIFE TWEETS (@fuckmylifecaps) reported

    Today, I was Skyping with a guy I‘m really into. I‘m not supposed to Skype at night, so when I heard my mum coming, I minimized the window. She walked in before I could mute my mic and started bitching me out for flushing my tampons down the toilet. FML

  • ElMacca Keith McKay (@ElMacca) reported

    @Mark_Bennett01 That's Skype for Business right? But actually yeah this is the problem, they've put all their efforts into Teams, nothing into a consumer facing Skype app.
