    I’m having kind of a down day. I might do Skype sessions later idk

  • NOWTV NOW TV (@NOWTV) reported

    @joreilly Hi John, do you have any screen recording software or software like Skype that could be interpreted as screen sharing? Even a snipping tool could be causing this error

  • rinavsavla Rinav Savla (@rinavsavla) reported

    @lovely84smg @M1Singapore I face similar issue recently with m1 data. Voice calls over Skype, Whatsapp, Facetime or Telegram - all get continuous disruption. Phone restart done. m1 also reset settings last week. Issue persists and raised with 1627. Engineers yet to revert. 😥 #m1dataissue

    @TillaCrowne @FryRsquared This is an evolving problem. Go and look at your Skype/Teams call and hangup icons. Did millennial ever use a phone like that? And then there are media player play/pause/stop/rewind/fforward icons and their origins....

    @kocienda I still can’t work out what caused Zoom to be everyone’s default, it’s terrible and wasn’t a household brand until March ‘20, how did Skype, Facetime or Discord not dominate this market

    @Zipzta @BookwormBean @StillBattsby We are allowed one Skype face to face (15 mins per week) on a weekday so mam does that, I can’t be there always. We took in an old iPad & asked them to help him use it for FaceTime. It’s been offline for weeks, no matter how much we ask them to help.

    Im a nonthreatening feminist boy, come talk to me on Skype! talk to me on skype about your problems as a woman i sympathize i’m taking womens studies. I took women’s studies I know what ‘systematic’ means.

    And yet, the solutions I'm given are "pay for phone service," "try to get phone service from google or skype, etc.," "let us know when you have access to a phone and we'll probably help you." Why ******** would I spend time or money...just so I could give a company my money?

    I trained some new hires on Skype today so I look very professional from the waist up. From the waist down I'm wearing lululemons & UGG slippers.

  • purplefloofi nonplus (@purplefloofi) reported

    My phone is broken so I can't speak to my irl friends The only way I could talk to them would be if I was allowed discord but my dad blocked discord on the internet, and he's telling me to use skype🤮

  • northerngrin Northern grin (@northerngrin) reported

    In other news, had a Skype meeting today with someone very smart looking, wearing a suit. Couldn’t help but laugh when their husband appeared, bare legged, in his dressing gown. It was 11.30am

  • graykimbrough Gray "serial millennial myth debunker" Kimbrough (@graykimbrough) reported

    @bartonwillage I guess it blows my mind that people are still stressing the possibility of tech issues at this point. Academics, non-academic hiring departments, and JMCs should be comfortable using Skype/Zoom/WebEx/whatever. They weren't a year ago, sure. But now they should be!

  • RNJessicasFeet Nurse Jessica (@RNJessicasFeet) reported

    @DannyM52233420 I don’t think I’m ready to do Skype calls now Danny but maybe down the road!

  • Brendangriffin Swagamemnon (@Brendangriffin) reported from Seattle, Washington

    Glad I’m checking out this Covid WH press briefing because this release-web communications broadcast is absolutely terrible like everyone is dropping you can’t hear a single word “can you hear me now?” It’s like a Skype call with grandma. Things are getting better now. Nice.

  • Brian_Reynolds3 Brian Reynolds (@Brian_Reynolds3) reported

    What confounds me is that all 3 cameras can be selected in other applications (Skype, Discord, etc.) so I can confirm each camera is properly connected and capable of being utilized in an application. So why is it that OBS is having trouble getting them to display?
