    @Xbudz Day one Xbox One 2013 we used xbox-skype to chat as xbox chat was broken

  • anglopremier Timothy Barton | Anglo Premier Translations (@anglopremier) reported

    @cbavington @lookingglassxl8 @memoQ_Official So I should probably clarify that my problem is not strictly with "track changes" but compare versions. I'd be interested if any of you can get "Compare versions" to work properly. I'd love to Skype with someone some time to see how it works on their computer.

    @BTSCOMETOSA idk what happened, but if Skype was the issue, then you can try using Discord as the client next time.

    6 years and no wedding ring? Proposal over Skype? Burn it all down.

  • braggken Ken Bragg (@braggken) reported

    Skype! You have gone from something that worked just beautifully at least 10 years ago to something terrible. And don't get me started on the abomination that is Skype for Business. Maybe it's all ploy to move us to Teams, which is actually not terrible.

  • MeltzerSaidWhat Meltzer Said What? (@MeltzerSaidWhat) reported

    @Murphs56 @RobertONeill31 iirc, he loathes doing phone/Skype interviews (not in person, sitting in the same room), so, I'm sure the pandemic didn't help either.

  • CivilRemarques Civil Remarques (@CivilRemarques) reported

    @scrowder Lockdowns. I'm 27 and looking to find someone to settle down with. Am I supposed to have a meaningful connection with someone via Skype? Not that I particularly care about social distancing, but meeting new people due to lockdowns has become nearly impossible.

    Would anyone be down for a chat? Here’s the link to my Skype

    4. Trade, sell it or shut down Google has closed so many businesses they tried to launch, one of them being Chromebook which most of people may not even know what it was all about yet they invested a lot of money into the project. Microsoft is closing Skype business calls.

    Anybody here use Ubuntu 20.04?! - Upgraded on Sunday and now whenever I watch a video (YouTube, Zoom, Skype) fans go into overdrive and the thing eventually shuts down. Worked fine on 18.04. Help? #Linux #Ubuntu

  • NDPoet 🌈🧠 ND Squish Toy 💟🐟 (@NDPoet) reported

    Is there something like Skype/Google Duo that is voice? Ended up very frustrated yesterday because of auditory processing issues. Audio quality was so terrible I had to end the call with family because I was getting frustrated trying to understand them. They heard me fine.

  • WhySharksMatter Dr. David Shiffman (@WhySharksMatter) reported

    @carlyziter I am often able to Skype/zoom into a class and answer everyone’s questions at once. I am not able to dedicate 30-45 minutes several times a week to help with a homework assignment no one will ever see again.

  • zcichy Zac Cichy (@zcichy) reported

    Skype/Zoom calls are often bad connections, or rife with delay issues. I prefer to deliver a coherent conversation VS having unedited video that’s full of problems and super hard for the audience to follow.

  • AskeBay Ask eBay (@AskeBay) reported

    @k2michaeljj Are you calling from a VoiP relay service such as Skype or Google Voice, or your normal number? ~Mikayla

  • MineralDoc MineralDoc (@MineralDoc) reported

    @_serenitystar_ @smart_bn With some companies they keep changing their numbers around. That is one of the issue with Skype type numbers, they hide the true number just like 0345/0845 special service ones.
