@translationtalk I'm having this issue now and I'm not quite sure why. I used to be able to skype with no problem. However, I can no longer use my home connection to use Skype or Zoom. I have to use my cellphone! It's a huge issue for me.

@ecommerceshares I don’t think network effects work *as powerfully* in p2p as they do in broadcast/social. The original issue you’ve highlighted is the right one — execution risk from mgmt. Skype didn’t evolve for years (like Twitter) and an objectively superior product came along.

@TheeMarkZ Mark you may have to go into camera settings and give Skype permission from Windows settings. I had an online meeting a few months ago on an old PC and had this issue.

@BobDigi69 We've been using a messenger service through Skype for business which IMO is better. But management loves these dumb emails. I get It, they're busy, gotta reach a bunch of staff quickly, but the people replying don't know when to use reply all and when not to.

Did patents help Skype from having it's lunch eaten by zoom? Why are there still new chat platforms up and coming? Who would think that Email could still be competitive?

Why oh why do Sly TV insist on using Skype to interview people via Skype, it is by far the worst of ALL chat systems available. No other service uses such dated systems, suffering from voices out of sync, frozen screens and people. Invest in modern technology!!

@C19LongHauler @Hol_Jessica @preshitorian Mostly talking in specific circumstances like if I have to give a talk on Zoom or Skype. It also happened (more moderately) when walking. But it's really uneven i.e. I have periods when it's 99% min 96%. And others (in relapses) when it goes down in freefall.

@dabitch Probably didn’t help that Microsoft is trying to get organizations to move from Skype to Teams.

@dabitch Skype in any form is dire. Zoom is decent. Also, the sound quality on zoom is way ahead of any competitor (teams sound is terrible for instance). Zoom is like the Ronseal of the video calling world.

Bye bye, @Xfinity. I don't need full service. I'll live without a remote pass. Bye bye, @Microsoft. All the calls that Skype missed or misforwarded & now I need your Edge browser to access my settings. Should have dumped you as soon as you ended free service. Good riddance.
