I’ve spent the last 45 minutes trying to help set up a Skype call between Nola and her friend from South Korea with limited English. I’m not sure Skype could be any harder to use.

@HongPong @amandamull @mcmansionhell I’ve wondered if a video/audio conference service that offered higher audio quality for a modest fee would get traction. I would pay something for hangouts/zoom/Skype to sound good reliably.

@elizqueenmama @kaplajk @PirateQueenKate Feel free to overgeneralize. On a Skype HH with 3 of them as we speak, and I love them but they are the worst. And your way of solving my "problem" made me feel heard. That's the difference. 😆

@DarkoneOfDamned @WynonnaEarp The problem with zoom is that it is very hackable and has been hit numerous times over the past few months that's the main reason I suggest Skype, just a little more secure.

Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype. They can all **** off. As soon as NZ opens up again, @cmcql and I are off for the weekend. Don't care where, so long as it is not anywhere that anyone who has ****** me off in the last 7 weeks lives, because I will probably burn their house down.

@HelenFenton15 @LizDurrant19 @irisbenson100 As well as being a service user, I've also been a volunteer for 3 years. But in this difficult time stuck at home, I asked if any work I can get on with while at home, but nothing. Although I'm participating in a meeting next week (via Skype), so that's good, I need more of that.

@BreitbartNews As far as I’m concerned, none of them need to return. They can Skype, Zoom like the rest of us. Think of all the money we could save. Plus K street wouldn’t be right down the street. Stay Home

I know Skype isn’t cool but the low latency on the service really helps conversations.

@Estochen Fair enough. If someone were inviting you to Skype watching porn together I'm sure you'd have no problem telling them that's not your thing. Just tell them that's something you wouldn't enjoy, but thanks anyway.

@KyEdWorkforce @GovAndyBeshear I have noticed that the largest problem trying to get help with UI claims is that people who are trying to help us don't know how to help us. How about using Skype or a different conferencing solution that way people can be face to face...

@JonathanLegge2 @queersicle Odd. I've never had that issue. Skype is still around. They just missed out honeslty. They have now launched group calls though.

@ClareWheatGoo @carbischoral @DeliaTurnbull I had concerns about that initially but I believe those issues have been swiftly resolved... I’m not using it for piano teaching, am firmly sticking to familiar platforms such as Skype/FaceTime for that purpose.
