@MichaelGillett I can confirm, after not having used my #Kinect with @Skype on the @Xbox One for almost 2 years, that stability has improved greatly! The Kinect no longer shuts itself down requiring a reboot of the system! (knock on wood) #Miraclesdohappen!

Bad news is that a pandemic is bearing down on all of us, causing the City Council to go from 12 committees, with meetings held at City Hall, to 2 committees conducted via Skype. The good news is the acronym for one of the new committees is POGO.

@ActivateLearn Wow. Some passionate defence of Microsoft on this thread. I have to agree though that Skype (consumer) has dropped off my apps. I only installed it on my phone again yesterday to give some advice to someone who wanted to run a virtual church service over it.

@internetthought And Skype for Business is to be shut down and replaced with Teams. (Not a bad thing in my view).

Played a game of D&D over video call today. Initially tried Skype because everyone had it installed, switched to Zoom because we were having issues hearing each other. I’m flabbergasted at how much better Zoom was. Skype struggled with audio, zoom managed video with no issues.

If anyone else experiences this problem, the user was also connected to Skype. Signing out of Skype resolved the Darth Vader voice issue. #TechTip

@NiecyOKeeffe I was shouted at in work for not having a profile pic for my Skype calls but the issue was solved by me uploading a school photo (year 2 at Primary school). I have a phobia about seeing myself, I don't have a graduation photo and I only consented to wedding pics under duress
