  • Happy_Tabby Tabby (@Happy_Tabby) reported

    Four days off, can’t do anything or go anywhere, but 4 days not working with teams, zoom, Skype, emails, work mobile. Bliss. Got get your ‘ups’ from somewhere.

  • Peckhampulse unionworkeruk (@Peckhampulse) reported

    @daleta2016 @judith17554 Just lock the back door and tell your partner to explain to his dad you have no problem with him risking his own life but not yours & that of the rest of the family so sadly he will have to chat on skype, messenger or through the letterbox in future if he has no vac.

  • stommepoes mallory, alice & bob (@stommepoes) reported

    @kratsg I DDG'd around for this Skype one specifically and people got around the issue by installing an older version of Skype from the version causing the issue. Since this is a few years old, ******* must've released a regression.

  • MauriceWillinge Maurice Willinger (@MauriceWillinge) reported

    @studioanisa Had no idea this was actually a problem, I thought "not everything can be a disorder, I need to focus more". But I've wanted to work with a friend by Skype or something, lately, to see if it can help with my focus. I Will try the "study with me video" solution.

  • _Rbot_ Rooben.avi (@_Rbot_) reported

    Im in a skype call called actual Mishas please help me

  • MissTickleTS MissTickleTS (@MissTickleTS) reported

    @bristol_pip Ashley. The issue requires one on one handling and follow through to completion. (It really is that bad.) You'll have to excuse me ages to reply. If I can manage an abstract I can do a skype. Otherwise the trauma gets to me. It's a horror show.

  • LeonardTPants Norm Breaker (@LeonardTPants) reported

    @Morrison My work has both (!) and everyone still uses Skype because it's easier than the new fancy Teams. Nobody can find anything on Teams. It has three different places to save files. Also why do all MSFT products have terrible names?

  • PaulLamberti Paul (@PaulLamberti) reported

    @Morrison how's it worse? i've had about as many issues with it in my two (three?) years of using it as i did with skype for business in a week.

  • philurich Phil Urich (@philurich) reported from Edmonton, Alberta

    @GrahamB47 @coopercooperco Another rebrand of what was at least at some point Skype For Business, they're constantly chasing whatever the hot new office communications service is so constantly rebranding, but also terrible yet widely adopted because it's Microsoft

  • stommepoes mallory, alice & bob (@stommepoes) reported

    @kratsg @Skype @SkypeSupport I vaguely remember this problem with another bit of software going around years ago... problem ended up being in the wallet/keychain part and not the requesting software. But I can't remember enough about it to find it...

  • misswwmaths Georgina Wallace-Northridge (@misswwmaths) reported

    HELP! @PearsonEdexcel I have a student in Spain I have been teaching via Skype. Which modules does he need for the Maths IAL? Confused with all the codes.

  • marioboy261 Taylor Kennedy (@marioboy261) reported

    @ElectroGamer96 Hey, David. It’s certainly been a while. Do you think we can call on Skype again soon? I want to know how you’re doing, talk about Thomas’ terrible upcoming reboot, and see if you got anything new.

  • WellsFargo Wells Fargo (@WellsFargo) reported

    @lokutrip I'm sorry to learn you're unable to get hold of anyone when you called. If the issue persists, please try dialing 1-800-869-3557 using internet calling services such as Viber, Skype, or Google Voice. -Choi

  • AsiwajuPH PORT HARCOURT SAILOR⚓ (@AsiwajuPH) reported

    @SturdySamm His he on Skype, Microsoft can help but damn na 9ja we dey, but its still possible

  • RamsdenVerity Tas de thé (@RamsdenVerity) reported

    @BeirutiBrit Urgh, I remember this nonsense. Spending hours of Skype credit on the phone to my bank trying to explain that their verification texts would definitely not arrive. They had literally no way of thinking around that problem because the system was the system.
