    @ahmedabdulaal11 @antonioberetini @Skype That's the whole bad design of it. There is so much clicking around this issue that "simple" just is not a case anymore. It's less hassle to just open Skype, choose person and click call.

  • peltonquotes The Fabulist PeltonQuotes (@peltonquotes) reported

    KP: I went back and re-listened to the first episode we did via... Skype & it was REAL rough. If you thought there were a lot of awkward silences now, it was really bad. TC: Really? KP: Oh yeah, it was noticeably terrible... Now it's only marginally terrible @peltoncast 250, 0:12

  • fallin2faith Ranjodh Singh Johal (@fallin2faith) reported

    @SkypeSupport my skype account is blocked for no apparent reason. Please help.

  • Mastacheata Benedikt 👨‍🏫🧑‍💻 (@Mastacheata) reported

    @edanbenatar @rafrasenberg They didn't kill Skype, they saved it from eBay. And in contrast to Google they didn't kill the service when they introduced alternatives. I still use Skype for our team's daily standup and sprint events.

  • mancunianmedic david oliver (@mancunianmedic) reported

    @Manumu700 yes indeed but that was taken on the ward where i work at the hospital not doing a skype or zoom interview from my living room when i am not working - that is precisely the point

  • GreyMaster11 GreyMaster (@GreyMaster11) reported

    @19syllables It’s okay, FaceTime, Skype and the like help, plus I know his consultant he’s the same guy who looked after mum this time last year, when I had to go down there following her pulmonary embolism, but it’s no substitute for being there.

  • lauraaloane Laura Anna Loane MA is not a cat. honest! (@lauraaloane) reported

    Anyone else on @O2 had No Service or one bar since this morning? Nothing's going through. Good for no distraction, but REALLY. Called the bank via Skype. There's a sentence I never thought I'd write...

  • VPixxie 👑QueenVioletPixxie💜NSFW🔞 (@VPixxie) reported

    Someone better step up and make my night better. RT game Wheel spins Skype session: humiliation, foot worship Silent sends. Just do something to fix this ****** day.

  • SnowBusterVN Snow Buster (@SnowBusterVN) reported

    Dying of laughter after solving the issue that had been plaguing me for weeks thanks to a 3 hour Skype troubleshooting call. The issue was literally equivalent to forgetting to put a ; at the end of a line of code, I feel like such an idiot lmao.

  • sstaoil SSTAOIL (@sstaoil) reported

    @SkypeSupport Just when I call the number it is not working try to call you'll see. Thanks again

  • DerekBarrera_AI Derek Barrera AI (@DerekBarrera_AI) reported

    wtf Skype i help him...

  • Ontariofella Richard - Entrepreneur & leftie 🇨🇦 🇲🇺 (@Ontariofella) reported

    @sooz_view Is it? Although ******** legal here, I had Skype call with senior exec, me smoking spliff and no come back. Can't see the problem of smoking on Zoom or similar.

  • goblin_screech Gerble! (@goblin_screech) reported

    I think my favorite part of all this was when people started putting words in my mouth and began acting like bullies and it caused for an artist I respect to talk down to me and call me an idiot. This is why I left Tumblr and Skype and was reluctant to join Twitter.

  • esteticmadeit ***** *** estetic (@esteticmadeit) reported

    @JezCorden i still use skype when discord is down

  • SuzanneStJames2 Suzanne StJames 🏳️‍🌈 #IndigenousLivesMatter #BLM (@SuzanneStJames2) reported

    @JenLeeCBC That's awful. My 84 yr old Dad is able to navigate the internet, Skype, emails, etc, but starts to panic when tech problems arise on sites. The AHS site is time-sensitive, too, which I don't think will ease the minds of seniors who get timed out & have to start over.

  • pamelanayumafr Pamela (@pamelanayumafr) reported

    @AaronLedwaba my phones getting repaired , we can skype if u down

  • TheWeeMaverick Janis M Reilly 💙 (@TheWeeMaverick) reported

    2/2 homeschooling beside me while Dad keeps toddler going in other room. But I miss her now. I worry about her. I am happy for her. I'm exhausted again; this time it's the come down section. I continue to #ParentThroughAPandemic. 🎢 Support networks on Skype only. @suzannezeedyk

  • Luyola 🔋Lu🔋Adams🔋 (@Luyola) reported

    @draecomino I don't get the moat here. The tech side is easy to replicate for sure. Entrenched user base maybe? That Didn't help Skype

  • Willy_Knight William Knight (@Willy_Knight) reported

    @NiCHE_Canada @canenvirorock I described Skype as an "online telephone service."
