  • matteastnz Matt East (@matteastnz) reported from Auckland, Auckland

    @lightweight @paulbrislen @billbennettnz That’s more of a behaviour issue, not a technology one, Skype, FaceTime, Jitsi can all be used while driving...if I if I’m on a call with someone who is driving, I end it ASAP...nothing is that urgent

  • NijlandMark Mark Nijland (@NijlandMark) reported from Rotterdam-Albrandswaard, Provincie Zuid-Holland

    How difficult can you make it @Skype @SkypeBusiness @SkypeSupport ending up with 3 icons, ‘lync’ is still in the url and they are not working together...#ux #scenarios #user #makeitsimple #

  • speirin Henry Joseph-Grant (@speirin) reported from Berlin, Land Berlin

    @theboydigital .... But then @Microsoft acquired @Skype and the product quality went down the toilet, leaving a massive need in the market for @zoom_us I reckon the same could happen with @LinkedIn well for those that don't need recruiters and outsource dev studios spamming you.

  • BrettMitchumm Brett M2 Proud Aussie Resister🇦🇺🇺🇸❤️🖤 (@BrettMitchumm) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @markjminer @bill_wints Problem is I’m sure they use Skype and spoof all of there numbers and some of them look legit....

  • andrzej_bobak Andrzej Bobak (@andrzej_bobak) reported from Poznań, Województwo Wielkopolskie

    @xtofl @soylentgraham @ederstoico @rick_west8 I learned that synchronous tutoring provided the most benefit. A quick 1 on 1 skype/hangouts call and a walkthrough why someone uses a given approach, what are the upsides of alternate solutions, or brainstorm to quickly unblock someone stuck on a complex problem

  • young_prof_ toni p. (@young_prof_) reported from Goldenrod, Florida

    @JermaineJupiter As someone who uses Skype daily for work, I feel like I should have known this. I just never thought of connecting the podcast concept to the service... Lol maybe I’m jus late ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There’s that too 😂

  • purpleorchid369 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.

  • 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.

  • JustinList Justin List (@JustinList) reported from Twyford, England

    Just had a phone call with a client via zoom on my home Uber pc. Because of security restrictions he had to use Skype for business . Much worse audio and terrible picture quality on the same setup . Skype for business is awful (at least for external folk)

  • SinovuyoEL Nefertiti Yonda (@SinovuyoEL) reported from Goodwood, Western Cape

    @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!!!

  • AJJacksonReal A.J. Jackson (@AJJacksonReal) reported from Los Angeles, California

    I'm hoping @Skype #CustomerService will respond to my DM...This has been an ongoing issue for several days now. I'd like to Skype with my Parents on Sunday but at this rate, another week will go by without the ability to do so. Very displeased. #poorcustomerservice

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

    @SkypeSupport As far as I know the Xbox updates regularly and there hasn’t been any changes I have made. I really appreciate the help.

  • cacarr cacarr (@cacarr) reported from Portland, Oregon

    @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.

  • GMRaphi GM Raphi🏳️‍🌈 (@GMRaphi) reported from Olten, Kanton Solothurn

    @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!
