    @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....

  • JustChillKilla Kelly the Milfshake 🦂🇭🇹 (@JustChillKilla) reported

    New hires asking for my help and then questioning my answer is literally hysterical. Like please dismiss yourself from my Skype PLEASEEE

  • jkfrommer Noodle Bae (@jkfrommer) reported

    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.

    @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

    @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!

    @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.

  • CChapmanVisuals Chris Chapman (@CChapmanVisuals) reported

    @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

  • TomatoCheese TomatoGrilledCheese (@TomatoCheese) reported

    @hikosaemon I remember after the 3/11 quake nobody could make phone calls via their mobile phone so these pay phones saved the day for many. My wife and I had Skype on our phones so we could call, but everyone trying to do that will send mobile internet to a crawl for sure thus not working.

  • chetharjit Chetharjit (@chetharjit) reported

    @WhatsappPrivacy I was thinking if WhatsApp has paid service and it has able to call directly mobile number or landline number through WhatsApp as like Skype has different plan based on location and requirements. Now days people are frustrated installing many app for each service one app.

    I rarely use skype and had a big problem with it this morning. couldn't search for a particular person. they've added me to the chat, but i didn't get any notification. wth skype

  • worshipurdaddy 𝐃𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐲 👸🏽 (@worshipurdaddy) reported

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

  • ShipwreckedTS Shipwrecked (@ShipwreckedTS) reported

    @OneCakeLady Hmm. Ok. Not familiar with banana meter. The way I would troubleshoot it is: 1. Undo any recent changes to your setup. 2. Test the mic in simple environment, e.g. a Skype call. If the mic still makes the noise, remove the usb part and use just the 3.5mm jack. Just isolate issues

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

    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.

  • 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

  • NabootX Eslam Mostafa (@NabootX) reported

    @SkypeSupport hi, I bought a subscription and was delivered something else. My computer and phone no longer recognize skype and ask me to install the app. I need help.
