  • _clumsybadger 💚Keely💙 - DEAN IS BI!!!! (@_clumsybadger) reported

    I can’t wait until the morning so I can completely ignore my teacher on skype and scroll through Twitter to see what a **** storm we’ve rained down on the c* while I slept

  • Skymningslandt Skymningslandet (@Skymningslandt) reported

    @wrathofgnon This problem (bad sound quality) has become increasingly worse since covid came along, so that people have to talk through Skype, Zoom and the likes. I often have to stop listening because of the poor sound quality nowadays. State of the art technology, eh! Hurts your ears.

    @BrkMeLikAPromis Is he somewhere they could Skype your dad? I know it's not the same but I might help to provide him some comfort.

  • hyenatown Hyena 🏙️ BLM | ACAB (@hyenatown) reported

    @joewintergreen Someone on the Microsoft help forum was raving about how the Meet Now icon is spyware, meanwhile, Skype sleeps somewhere deep in my machine...

  • kjw810 Kelly Wickham (@kjw810) reported

    @Bratbaby1701 I just don't like it because of the way that people communicate. I liked skype & I like zoom because you just talk like you're sitting down together talking. With TeamTalk, at least the TeamTalk I remember, you have to press or lock buttons.

    @GovMikeDeWine Governor DeWine, it is time to shut down Ohio with 40 million people traveling by car and by air this virus is not going to go away anytime soon you know this! People are so selfish only thinking of themselves they cannot Skype or do FaceTime? This is very very sad!

    Wow @coolideas_ZA not only have you ignored all my tickets, you've ignored my tweets!!! I've rescheduled 3 exams for my son because of your shoddy network and now I had issues during a Skype call from work as I'm working from home. Thank you!!!!!!

  • krisabetha Kris 🐝 (@krisabetha) reported

    @IrishBrian420 I have no clue. I think all this is probably written down in fine print somewhere, but like... they're in their seventies and know nothing about the internet. My mother in law doesn't even know how to open Skype.

  • BendyBrooke 💖BendyBrooke🥨 (@BendyBrooke) reported

    Well my internet is down for scheduled maintenance until the morning so it's a content making night instead. I'm still doing a sale on everything through Cashapp though so DM me if you wanna buy some videos/customs/schedule a Skype 💖

  • Skeletondoggy Zack @ Making Tunes!!! (@Skeletondoggy) reported

    Tumblr is down...despite using it less I still feel like I am suddenly back in highschool and someone on Skype just said some insane **** and I NEED to distract myself, why does a website being down fill me with this feeling

  • hugojonker Hugo Jonker (@hugojonker) reported

    Interesting problem with #skype. I was screensharing, but other side wasn't seeing it, just black rectangle. So I stopped sharing. They were still getting a black rectangle. So I hung up. After the video feed was dropped, we still had audio. I couldn't hang up more though.

    @QouBou I am interested but need to wait a month or so for financial issues. I'll keep it in mind when we have a little more extra money. via Zoom or Skype?

  • leftdrumstick nier ☆ (@leftdrumstick) reported

    @dissidiaNT the problem is is that discord in no way lets you be this nosy about strangers (honestly it's weird that skype did) since you need a username and an id number to add people, but i think we should just make it an application server again to recreate the inanity of it all

  • CptCheerful 🍻Ben Hodgkinson (@CptCheerful) reported

    @whatjoewrote I think Teams lets you record, and there’s supposed to be a way to get it to transcribe in real time (I think). They’ve basically moved all Skype for Business functions across, presumably with a planned obsolescence of Skype down the line.

    I hate the sound of Skype notifications when I’m not working.

  • BobbyDurben Bob (@BobbyDurben) reported

    Watching #BacheloretteABC as a painful reminder that I made it to the 3rd round of casting, only for a producer to look me up and down once on a Skype call and immediately let me know *this* body has no place on *that* show
