    Anonymous sources are telling me that I should give my account to Rahm Emanuel and that Rahm Emanuel is a "strikingly beautiful man" and that I am "uglier than dirt." I've blocked them on Discord, on Skype, on Facebook, and now they're texting my dad with fake pictures. Help??

    @Ron_Fleasley @AndieDelicacy Andie never wanted to Skype. It was a big issue even though I said I was fine with it. I was sometimes going on internet websites to watch other people Skype. Zoom too. Got a WhatsApp magazine from a specialist shop. Seedy.

    Anybody had trouble opening or responding to ONE group chat in Skype for desktop, while all others work fine? @Skype @Microsoft

  • Schwahn_ Schwahn | BLM | TRAHR (@Schwahn_) reported from Anchorage Municipality, Alaska

    When you hit the "X" on a window, the program should close and shut down. I have only encountered it a few times. But there are some applications that treat the X like it is the minimize button. - Skype - Twitch Soundtrack **** programs that do this.

    @FVSfabricio @JezCorden It has nothing to do with agile 90% of ms is just not working with passion. They had mixer they fcked up mixer was bomb , they had msn they fcked up, they had grove, skype etc no heart no passion. Ms is filled with business guys but unfortunately most companies are like this

  • LemonyBirdy Lemon 𓅇 𓅊 (@LemonyBirdy) reported

    @coconutIatte There is a person on here that frequents ads for proana coaches, he asks for the Skype of people promising to help them ❌- Tw ahead I’ve heard from a few victims of him that he’ll prompt them to undress infront of him and manipulate them. It’s sickening 😕

  • jeffinitelyjeff jeff “irregardless defender” ruberg (@jeffinitelyjeff) reported

    I've had so many recording issues (wrong input, very echo-y room, other side of the call picked up on mic, etc) and every time skype's auto processed recording was 10x better than any fix I was able to do by struggling with fancy, expensive tools for hours

    @JamesCraigmyle @Skype @zoom_us I just said to my son that I wish we could have a trainer come to the house! This may be the next best thing seeing as I don’t live near you. Need help with my very needy 1 year old.

  • KingSirKraze 👑SirKraze (@KingSirKraze) reported

    @KingCar56616235 yeah, been steady on My skype list for while not sure how long couple months maybe more. I lose track of time easily. First interaction, I wasn't down the method of $ he was using. Then is steady climbed to deeper begging and desperation, LOL! Then the head came off, BOOM delete.

  • BoneJeni Bone(anti-fascist)Jeni (@BoneJeni) reported

    @LesStonehouse Who are they? My Grey Boomer parents (80s) use their PC (albeit basically) and communicate with family around the world via Skype. They CAN do better, they're just comfortable with Jones, Bolt et al - which is the issue.

  • ThatNeilMartin Prof Neil Martin (@ThatNeilMartin) reported

    @banalyst For their teaching- and we've still been teaching, and doing more of it and in a way that supports students. I've had so many Skype tutorials, they've virtually moved in. Rents is a separate issue (and not part of tuition fees)

  • arztotskan_man TheFloridaMan (@arztotskan_man) reported

    @Gizmodo no facebook no problem. since 2017 I have not regretted choice even once. and still in touch with family, phonecalls, text, skype, email

  • rd19923 ramesh das (@rd19923) reported

  • gglockner Greg Glockner (@gglockner) reported

    These days, seems like I only login to Skype to send "Hello world" to my mobile in order to prevent my credit from expiring.

  • stew_sc stew (@stew_sc) reported

    @welshmadam Oh. He needs a slap then. Used to have a Greek lodger who’d Skype like he was shouting for help from an abandoned well. He lasted 3 months before I’d had enough!

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

  • maxemo1917 Max (She/Her) (@maxemo1917) reported

    @AutSciPerson This is a somewhat unrelated question, but do you have trouble with eye contact even on Zoom and Skype too? I get that real bad all the time myself.

  • Niecy_NoNash Big Niec (@Niecy_NoNash) reported

    So I just had a meeting with my supervisor via Skype. She said even though were working from home our phones should be face down. Lol no.

  • seesthedanger SteveO (@seesthedanger) reported

    @TriciaBarker49 @JohnCCoupar Yes and right away I found it more user friendly than Skype which I used a lot a decade ago. I got my desktop camera going but the picture is awful and I can't find out how to fix it. I'm using Windows 10.

  • mancunianmedic david oliver (@mancunianmedic) reported

    Hancock's down the line Skype/Zoom interviews look like he is broadcasting from a canal narrow boat where there has been a bloody massacre and he is trying to cover up the evidence by plastering framed photos and pics all over the wall in the hope that no-one will notice

  • JamesCraigmyle James Craigmyle (@JamesCraigmyle) reported

    @alk2001 @Skype @zoom_us It’s not when they are young that they show the issues from jumping and acting out of control. It’s when they get older and they can’t get around
