    @SA_M21 Skype appts are legit and can decrease people physically going to the doctor when they don’t need to. Always gotta strive for peak healthcare utilization where we only seek care when we need it, and not for issues like the common cold.

    @GilWhitedale @chrislhayes These are data-slinging pocket computers now, and too few people care all that much about voice quality for it to be too much of a priority. And increasingly people voice communicate over IP anyhow -- Skype, FaceTime, Duo, etc -- and that's not a carrier issue.

    @DJZinhle I have a Skype call interview for a permanent job I've been eyeing for months now, I dont have a laptop or a phone compatible with Skype I'm in Cape Town. I have the date as to when the Interview will be PLEASE HELP!!!

    joan-an-tríú (@joan_an_triu) reported from Saxman, Alaska

    @WisdomToothDog @72stroopwafels Yes! That happened to me on my first few Skype lessons with a tutor (after a few months of hard study to get some basics down). I'd just go blank! Or be so focused on the few earlier words I recognized that I'd miss the rest of the sentence... So stressful!

    @fionapup ...if it's _not_ hardware related, you can have a friend (or even me!) log into your box via Team Viewer, and look at the system's behavior and load together. Add voice chat via Skype or Discord, I'd be up for it, and we might find and or even fix stuff. If it doesn't fix itself!

  • rene_plz
    💆🏽‍♀️ (@rene_plz) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    My favorite thing that happens at work is when I try to talk to people casually/tell them about my problems on Skype and they just clearly don’t care or don’t even bother to respond at all! I STAN lack of support in the workplace!!!! 🙃

    Tara Sloggett (@purpleorchid369) reported from St. Catharines, Ontario

    @SkypeSupport Hello! I am so sorry for not getting back earlier. The issue seems to have resolved its self for now. I will let you know if it happens again. Thank you so much for the help.

  • ISayPorter
    Stephen Q Bunwackett Buzzardstubble and Boot #FBPE (@ISayPorter) reported from Bruxelles-Capitale, Brussels Capital

    My new Directorate-General has no telephones - everything is done through Skype for Business. I arrived and found my PC doesn't have it, so I emailed the help desk to ask them to install it. The response was predictable. See if you can guess what it was. Answer tomorrow.

    Too many Skype/Team service degradation advisories from Microsoft within this month alone. What's going on.

  • johnffarrell
    John Farrell ☀️🌬🔋 (@johnffarrell) reported from Minneapolis, Minnesota

    @SkypeSupport It turned out to be a bank credit card issue and not Skype, but the support person was very helpful in showing me how to update the payment options. Thanks!

    Oskar Howell (@oskarhowell) reported from Hamilton City, Waikato

    @sylveoncore ive decided to uninstall skype, id rather use an obscure chat service than use their pos. I really shouldnt have to make a separate account just for skype :/

  • GabbarSanghi
    Ratnakar Sadasyula-రత్నాకర్ సదస్యుల (@GabbarSanghi) reported from Rājendranagar, Telangana

    Dear IT companies, in these days of Skype, Zoom. When everything is done remotely, your insistence on holding face to face interviews makes no sense, unless you are doing a mass recruitment. Half the day is gone driving down and then waiting for the interview.

  • ACCOX_artist
    Mand (@ACCOX_artist) reported from Whitecroft, England

    @Scriblit @fenifur Totally. Crap all where I live and with my MH issues travelling wipes me out. Luckily I am working currently on a project with people who Skype and email.

    @SkypeSupport I am currently using Xbox One as my platform. The issue has been going on forever and sometimes it never happens, sometimes that is all it does.
