    @BriannaWu @Microsoft So many replies seem to forget that Skype and Lync aka “Skype for Business” are separate products. Yes, Skype for Business is being replaced by Teams. It’s not Skype. Microsoft Teams: “has encountered a problem and needs to be restarted.”

    I remember back when skype was the only good option for video calls. Now you couldn't pay me to use the service

  • theoriginaledi Your ol' pal Edi (@theoriginaledi) reported

    @SkypeSupport Skype can't "see" my camera on my home OR work laptops/networks. It says "No device found". Both cameras work great in all other programs, including Zoom, Google Meet/Hangouts, YouTube, etc. I've searched all over & can't find a solution. Can you help? :-(

  • LingLaoBurr 👩🏻‍💻🥷🏼🇱🇦 (@LingLaoBurr) reported

    I remember on Skype business at my first job when I got down here... my supervisor was a ***** so I blocked her. Her fat *** had to come up 2 floors and across the building if she wanted to say something to me 😭💀

    @ShazinOr I'm so sorry, what a horrible reason to finally be together. I'm thankful for your family's service and sacrifices. I did 18 years, Navy, was lucky, missed one year of holidays/birthdays with my kids. No skype/zoom back then, what a luxury!

  • FF_FunkyBunch Marky Mark (@FF_FunkyBunch) reported

    @James_AG1 @TheFantasyMoose No, its about limiting the amount of time it is wreaking havoc. Australia is almost 100% open and back to normal now. Short term economic pain = long term gain. Also, there are programs that help to limit instances of what you have posted. Zoom calls/skype/whatever.

    @LozzaFox Blame the GP service for that. They have sat on their fat-salaried backsides and refused to see patients for 8 months now. You cannot diagnose illness remotely, you have to get up close to horrid, *****, infected people and EXAMINE them. Most cancers aren't visible on Skype

  • The_DSD Social Development (@The_DSD) reported

    For support or counselling please contact the GBV Command Centre (GBVCC). Call: 0800 428 428. “Please call me” *120*7867#. Skype Line ‘Helpme GBV’. (Add ‘Helpme GBV’ to your Skype contacts). SMS ‘help’ to 31531.

    @mfullard2 That is a terrible idea. Can’t they use Skype or Zoom instead? I know a company in Gauteng that wanted to take its staff on an excursion it cancelled at the last moment because they got a skrik because someone got Covid in the team before the event! Covid is far from over.

  • Frozohne Frozohne 🧊🚀 (@Frozohne) reported

    @SiimplyGrinding It’s been terrible you said we were going to 1v1 on Skype and I haven’t heard anything

  • Adam_Olivero 🎮 🕹️ Adam Olivero 🎦🎬 (@Adam_Olivero) reported

    @Adamski I've had this happen with both Skype recordings and Open Broadcast Software. Running it through Handbrake or Avidemux seems to fix it. I've asked @markspen and @RippleTraining for their RippleLive on Friday as to why it happens and the proper fix.

  • SClickfo Steven (@SClickfo) reported

    Calling Lego Customer service is depressing because it sounds like Skype for Biz and M$ will never get to Cisco quality, and that's really sad when you can admit Cisco will always be better...

  • RoeRoeMonroe Monroe (@RoeRoeMonroe) reported

    Yeah you know they are the one when you’ve been hyper fixating all day and your brain is fried and you don’t want to move talk or interact w/anyone but you can’t stop stimming bc you’re stoked to Skype them despite your brain completely shutting down w/ everything else

  • yungsenshi jingle belle. ❄️ (@yungsenshi) reported

    There was a point in time in my life where I would be sitting down on Skype doing work while my boyfriend was playing COD. Jah Jah.

  • rev_kemp Ian Kemp (@rev_kemp) reported

    @GrumpyWo Happy to take this off Twitter and have a proper chat over Skype/email or whatever. Basically I know MH is a problem my soldiers face, I want to help but struggle to do more for them that is meaningful.
