  • VictorEkman5 Victor Ekman (@VictorEkman5) reported

    @Enichan I use all the ridges when I type. Ridges are made to show potential. Just like when I used skype... Fell down from that service, life is consequential.

  • Kirsha_Ay Siye C (@Kirsha_Ay) reported

    If you're a mutual of mine on skype you may have recieved an apology message. This comes from three years of thinking about old friendships and the problems I caused within them. If you didn't recieve one and feel like you should've please pm me.

    @StonkAnime they couldn't just fix Skype they had to reinvent the wheel and relearn all of the same **** lol

  • camewitthefetti ethan 🏖 (@camewitthefetti) reported

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

  • CogentSoul SID🇮🇳 (@CogentSoul) reported

    @Microsoft Fix my #skype issue pls. T/s steps are not helping.

  • MJSmith891 MJ: A Chicken Soup For The Soul Company (@MJSmith891) reported

    @untitleduser For one of my shows Discord with each person recording their own audio natively via audacity/a back-up with the Discord record bot (it sucks and is only for emergencies). For the other, Skype with the native call recorder (never had an issue with it).

  • uncl3dumby dumby. (@uncl3dumby) reported

    So, figured I'd give MS365 personal a try. Phew... lots to complain about. Went all-out with a custom domain which was SUPER painful and confusing. They've got a huge problem separating the UX of free/paid users. And apparently you can't disable receiving spam calls on Skype?

  • jejedu67 Jérémy R (@jejedu67) reported

    @Skype Hello, there are guest call spam since some days, please fix it.

  • Kaitain_US Kaitain 🇺🇸 (@Kaitain_US) reported

    "Hey I got a problem. Can you fix this now?!" "K, I'll let you know it's been fixed on Skype." *fixes problem and checks skype. Sees status has been offline for 2 hours." "********? Did he go home? Probably."

  • verdanturf ballpit pallbearer (@verdanturf) reported

    @fshmain there were some nice ones though. hellen from the skype group idk where you are now but you held it down.

  • fkyesss Emma (@fkyesss) reported

    @GreatKatzby03 @atRiskyVenture Been down this road before when I was a member of several private trading groups on Skype. Not practical for a whole host of reasons which I am too tired to get into again here. But I appreciate the suggestions/sentiment :)

  • snailkiss3r harley / SPLATOON 3 (@snailkiss3r) reported

    im a nonthreatening entomologist boy. come talk to me on skype! talk to me about your bug problems. im taking zoology courses,

  • _Rbot_ Rooben.avi (@_Rbot_) reported

    Im in a skype call called actual Mishas please help me

  • RBAngryCommie OSHA Poststructuralism Inspector (@RBAngryCommie) reported

    @rolandbarfs Bad news: Skype is still terrible.

  • pomidorchi K. Barabanoff (@pomidorchi) reported

    With all that endless video conference calls, Apple may introduce a global MUTE MIC hotkey, which works independently of the VC app (Zoom, Teams, Skype,..) and shuts your voice down effectively in #macOS. I have tested a dozen of solutions. None of which works as expected. Ideas?

  • StephBarber09 Stephanie Barber (@StephBarber09) reported

    @virginmedia Everything is exactly the same. I pay for 200mb, I only have 2 consoles running on WiFi and one on a LAN throught the powerline booster, and constant issues. Struggling to have a Skype call go through smoothly. Virgin is meant to be the best. Its certainly not reliable.

  • bronze_adam Adam Bronze (@bronze_adam) reported

    @TheRock has the video update down pat. I wish I could jump on a Skype call with the team sweaty, shirtless, and out of breathe and provide a big project update then say mahalo and eat 45000 calories.

  • cyanebooks cyanebooks (@cyanebooks) reported

    today in skype: help, I believe this was from some magazine a while ago and scanned and uploaded online later

  • MsMarieMagalie Mistress Marie Magalie (@MsMarieMagalie) reported

    @ukickedmiperro that would make an epic skype session if you're ever down for that

  • eMeKavelli Status 200 ♓️ (@eMeKavelli) reported

    @lowcostbeans I recorded the Skype call. Man sunny really broke down this C# thing. Watch it and remain blessed.

  • stone_cd Stone Creative Design (@stone_cd) reported

    @virginmedia @yehaToni Me to same problem, I am N4 London, can’t connect to certain websites, Zoom and can’t get my emails, so stuff works though, like Skype and most websites, can’t understand it

    @CapitalOne CC was compromised & canceled early Dec. You sent new card to my US mail address; never arrived. Sent a 2nd direct to me in Malaysia, never arrived. Nearly 3 months, hours on the phone via Skype and I’m still cardless. Mail not working, need courier. Help!

  • SorryIrizarry Ti (@SorryIrizarry) reported

  • ZiZLoG Sven Andriske (@ZiZLoG) reported

    @rafrasenberg What is to like about Microsoft when their main strategy is, buying someone else’s service or software, ie. entire company and sell it as theirs? 225 companies in total were purchased by MS so far, including Skype, LinkedIn, Nokia & GitHub.

    @ClayTravis If staff is so scared to go back, and the science shows it is safe for kids... why not have a projector in the class for the teacher to be remote and do a skype or zoom?? Then have a 'hall-monitor'(s) wearing PPE, walking up and down checking on the kids?

    @_ShayGar_ tbh I wish msn messenger were still around 🥺 I was forced to move to skype when it shut down 😔
