    Some days I've just had enough and today honestly is one of those days with skype/IT issues at work all day and everything else going on I just can't cope today! Highlight of the day chatting for 20 mins on stream just doing nothing but random talk

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

    Im a nonthreatening feminist boy, come talk to me on Skype! talk to me on skype about your problems as a woman i sympathize i’m taking womens studies. I took women’s studies I know what ‘systematic’ means.

  • JessicaShurson Jessica Shurson (@JessicaShurson) reported

    Tech law twitter: does anyone know the ultimate resolution of the Belgium Yahoo & Skype cases from 2015/2017? Did Yahoo & Skype comply? Did they pay the fines? Did the investigations resolve w/o need for compliance? I am having trouble finding out the practical outcomes! 🙏

  • _BeeGilly_ patti mayonnaise (@_BeeGilly_) reported

    @laurpaige Agreed!!! I’m in software development so EYE KNOW I’d do so much better learning in person or having someone to help out in person....there’s just A LOT happening and getting one on one time via teams/Skype is hard...let alone learning what I need to know. 🙃🙃🙃🙃

    @Master_Nova1 Having trouble with skype

  • consteIIation bitter (@consteIIation) reported

    THIS CANT BE REAL ITS LIKE WHEN COWORKERS HAVE ISSUES WITH SKYPE

  • Superfried Superfried (@Superfried) reported

    So I have a client that uses Microsoft Teams, which has been a problem for calls as it does not seem to allow external suppliers to join. Does anyone know a way? I tried using my Skype account details, but this did not work.

  • Mad_iguana Martin J Gilbert (@Mad_iguana) reported

    @JoeODonohoe @eircare I don't think so; in the end I think it was some restriction on my account that I couldn't fathom. I ended up using Skype to call Sony. And tbh, they make Eir customer care seem like a paragon of customer-focused service.

  • RobertMorvay cool guy really great personality (@RobertMorvay) reported

    We'd have skype calls and play video games, and they'd occasionally mention some kind of religious undertone, for some science fiction sounding religion. They gave me control of that very same meme page, and told me to help find others for our "friend group".

  • Chris20192019 Chris (@Chris20192019) reported

    @AlphaBlakeNYC Maybe a skype session would help you bust

  • aishiterutokyo Dan Orlowitz (@aishiterutokyo) reported

    @tpen18 I was in the teacher's room at the JHS I was ALTing at - which was a weird ******* scene. 3G lines were all down but data worked, so I was able to call my family via Skype and let them know to turn on CNN.

  • ShadyRexRandle Detective Rambeau’s Gay Cousin (@ShadyRexRandle) reported

    Another work text group......when Skype works just f- Jesus Help.

  • whywedontgame magic h8-ball (@whywedontgame) reported

    We stopped gaming because Overdramatic Warlock and Unnecessary Fireball Sorcerer lost a friendship over someone at the table stealing a player's pet. It all went down on Skype.

  • whywedontgame magic h8-ball (@whywedontgame) reported

    We stopped gaming because Overdramatic Warlock and Player who only talks in an accent but somehow pulls it off forgot the terrible secret of someone at the table asking too many times to try another system. It all went down on Skype.

  • Connect2meNow Robert Kemp (@Connect2meNow) reported

    Social media post is definitely not the place to talk about serious issues. The messages become scrambled in an attempt to respond to each other. Skype, FB live Chat, Zoom, etc are better for serious discussions online or on mobile devices.

  • zcichy Zac Cichy (@zcichy) reported

    Are there any issues with podcast recording software on an M1 Mac? Call Recorder? Skype? Zoom? Going to start using an M1 Mac Mini tomorrow and would be good to know beforehand if there are any software issues.

  • drdavegriffiths Dave Griffiths (@drdavegriffiths) reported

    @urbaneprofessor You essentially have used it a lot. Microsoft bought them out and it's basically the video service you get in Teams. Over time they're wanting everyone to only use it via the Teams branding (and get rid of the awful Skype interface).

  • illynichna aleks illynicha (@illynichna) reported

    @AskPayPal Hey, Paypal. I couldn't log into my account and I couldn't even reset my password. Please do not advise me to call your customer service because I am from overseas and overseas calls are expensive. I also tried to contact your customer service via SKYPE BUT DIDNT HELP

  • GaidenHeroX Kyle (@GaidenHeroX) reported

    @katanathorne If you use discord or Skype or any of those you can still immerse in it if in person is not working out

  • glovesalwaysup M. E. Katch (@glovesalwaysup) reported

    The Microsoft 2-step authentication thing for Skype is so duuuumb. I changed my primary e-mail in the Skype login, but that didn't work. I had to change it in an identical looking login, which will also take a month to actually make the update. WTF IS THIS?!

  • WFNYCraig Craig Lyndall (@WFNYCraig) reported

    @AndyCleves_ I think you'll be happy. I thought it was going to cure my issues with recording skype calls and allowing me to integrate phone calls from my iPhone. It just didn't work well from that standpoint.

  • FFOEG3 Arthur Fleck (@FFOEG3) reported

    @cherylboruszko Guess it's better than using Microsoft's teams or Skype. They'd have a paperclip popping up every 2 mins saying " I see you are trying to get laid, can I help? "

  • TomatoCheese TomatoGrilledCheese (@TomatoCheese) reported

    Strangely those phones were a life saver that day because mobile phone service was overwhelmed. At a point I think texting wasn't working either. If you had a smart phone the internet side of things worked fine. I remember being able to talk to my wife via the Skype app then.

  • Trian0n1 Trian0n (@Trian0n1) reported

    @SkypeSupport I have a problem running skype. It starts in a collapsed state when the computer is booted. But, until you expand the window and remove the launch banner, skype is in inactive mode and users see "not online." How to make active without intervention?

  • QueenMazi4 Queen Mazi (@QueenMazi4) reported

    I turned down a Skype session the other day again because the person was being too sketch and boom they hacked into someone’s OnlyFans. Y’all be careful

  • Superfried Superfried (@Superfried) reported

    @td_aaron @kayesymington I think that was what happened to me. Said I had to login in with a Microsoft account. So selected the Skype route, but failed in predictable fashion. Hmmm, I will try again for the next call, but set-up a google chat as a back-up I think. Thanks.

  • clarkemaxine01 Maxine Clarke (@clarkemaxine01) reported

    @The_Kyster @GMB @richardgaisford If i someone who cant spell skype can think of it 'admitted to hospital for exhaustion' is a good term to protect her confidentiality then someone would've in the 'palace' and prince charles has admitted having issues, too many questions...

  • whywedontgame magic h8-ball (@whywedontgame) reported

    We stopped gaming because DM who tries to cram too many styles into one game and Player who can't say no to D&D forgot the terrible secret of whether or not *magical bird damage* is a thing. It all went down on Skype.
