I only use my mouse so that Skype doesn’t tell my coworkers that I’m inactive. I’m Latina, my mom’s been telling me I’m inactive my whole life. Sit down Skype🤙🏾

It’s so weird that when @discordapp goes down we’re at a complete standstill, but just a few years ago we jumped between Mumble, TeamSpeak, Skype, hell even Xbox live parties

@baller23100 @SedrickSantoyo @KaleeDionne @wfaa @dalehansen That's how I used to do my Skype interviews with potential staff at times. I'd toss on a decent shirt and just on vacation from the waist down. Didn't matter what I wore.

@geochili Current findings: Problem is, these days, is resumes are ran through AI software before they pass and get to a human; some want video/audio recording for "first interviews" (not even live Skype or the like); or ask for "text to apply". It's all completely impersonal and sterile.

4 goal deficit to Aston Villa is nothing that a Klopp pep talk via Skype can't fix. Let's go boys! #AVLLIV

@virginmedia To repeat, your service drops for a few minutes a day. By the time I check, it’s back. It absolutely frustrates me. On Tuesday, 4mins *just as I needed to start a Skype w a customer*. > 2

@thomkearney @LibraryArchives All is managed *properly* in backend; IM invisible to users. Collab can be enable with an EDRMS however problem is firewalls bc security. Yes, some folks care about security. Now on WebEx. It’s sucks but better than nothing. In my dept we use Skype & Skype for business w outside.

I have three Zoom/Skype meetings today with three cities, in two countries, about three projects. On one hand I’m #blessed but also I can’t tell if what I’m coming down with is a cold or split personality disorder.

My 'dad' sent me a Christmas card saying 'To Marion and her ******. Don't forget to Skype' Last year when I Skyped he said my older brother was trying to look down my top just because he was moving the laptop.

@One_Dads_View Had mine for a year. Others have had issues with fit but they’re fine for me - I go out running with mine and they double up as a wireless headset for me at work (I spend half my day on Skype) which is very liberating

@SkypeSupport I am unable to use the dictation feature with Skype. But because it keeps cutting me off when I try to use it and it’s not allowing me to use it properly. Because I think there is an issue with it.#Issue.

@MelBala Meetings must b on Skype if one expects productivity. Heavy rain and traffic lights not working means chaos and taking Bolt or uber is madness, under these conditions. Sowi boo. Think we need to live differently to cope with the new Dawn. Generators, petrol or gas. I dont gas

My favorite memory from when I was applying for jobs in 2018 was when I thought I had a phone interview but it was really a Skype interview. I was wearing pajamas and looked terrible. Granted to say I didn’t get that job 😂

@SkypeSupport I've sent you a DM with all the details team. The issue was happening in morning. I checked back again in an hour, it was still the same. Finally I checked in evening, and it was working fine.

The main stream media have become less and less relevant, so why bother. I'm pretty sure the PM has Skype / video conferencing to conduct meetings with ministers, civil servants and military personnel et al. Parliament next week will provide the opportunity to discuss the issue.

@googlenesthelp I see that @googlenesthelp follows the same strategy as their toll free number. Initially the appearance of trying to helpful with zero follow through. Guess it’s gone the way of esteemed acquisitions like MS/Skype where a good product/service is ruined by terrible outsourcing

@Outlook Signing in is not the problem. It’s the verification after. I don’t have subject lines or Skype names from years ago.
