Skype Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • PeterWheeldon Peter Wheeldon (@PeterWheeldon) reported from Bilsthorpe, England

    @hannahforest Thinking about it, they don't need to do it, they can have debates and questions on Skype. It'd be a problem for the media to cover them but I'm sure there're ways around that.

  • wxgerd Stormrardo⛈ (@wxgerd) reported from Salt Lake City, Utah

    It pains me to say it but I might have to cancel next month's trip to Nashville along with my summer plans until things calm down. Catch me doing Pride Skype 2020.

  • AdamShifriss Adam Shifriss (@AdamShifriss) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @econwonk @HorwitzGabe I agree. People have social needs that don’t get met when they are isolated. Facetime, Skype, etc.. can help but they cannot fully replace face to face.

  • JustJettingThru Ryan Spellman (@JustJettingThru) reported from Plantation, Florida

    @peterleone @martysg Spoke to my cousin in Italy this morning on the Skype, they have bigger infrastructure and pre existing health issues in the country and a bigger elderly population but people are scared there.

  • alanjack Alan Jack (@alanjack) reported from Oosterhout, Provincie Noord-Brabant

    @abottleoftales Get on Teams/Skype and ask for help. Don't be afraid. You won't be looked on badly for asking for help, or for not knowing what (specifically) to ask about.

  • justintemps Justin Smith (@justintemps) reported from Genève, Genève

    I’ve used zoom a couple of times. Ow and still don’t understand which problems it solves that Skype or Google Hangouts or Slack don’t already solve better.

  • b0b_summers Bob Summers Ⓥ (@b0b_summers) reported from Donostia / San Sebastián, Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoa

    @dawnmkelly Looking at doing Skype classes which might work. Worth a shot, because if we're still shut after Easter I'll be off down the job centre

  • gabsalana Gabrielle Taylor (@gabsalana) reported from Hackney, England

    Trying to think of things us young, currently healthy lot can do... - Let neighbours know we are *currently* able to do a shop - Buy double of everything & give to a food bank - Download Skype for elderly relatives/ write to them - Contact local care homes & ask how we can help

  • GeorgieSussex Καρμέλα Σοπράνο (@GeorgieSussex) reported from Worthing, England

    If you’re wondering why the younger, lower-paid colleagues you’ve treated like shit for years don’t seem to be responding to your demands for help on how to use Skype, it really isn’t because “the servers are busy”.

  • cliffordstott Clifford Stott (@cliffordstott) reported from Hoylake, England

    @ScouseTims We can try but she is too disabled to understand how to use the interface. We’re encouraging the home to set up a large tv with camera so families can Skype residents. But that’s not going to help that much with the massive isolation she will experience.

  • richdunleave Aozora (@richdunleave) reported from York, England

    @Tony_young78 @berniespofforth No, they can't. Teleconferences and Skype are a terrible way to conduct serious trade talks.

  • adamskimunkey Adam D (@adamskimunkey) reported from Salford, England

    This👇👇- @PlayStationUK has built in chat as does @xboxuk every office gets one and home and problem solved. Let’s be honest skype- zoom- wigwam- doc-sack- flimflam have nothing on these dedicated systems.

  • liljadeywadey Jade (@liljadeywadey) reported from Hitchin, England

    @gabyvparker I couldn’t do face to face but if they struggle to find someone I could potentially offer phone/Skype and reduce costs. It’s terrible that they’re having to self fund this. It’s crucial to the role

  • Patient_Leader Dominic Stenning #TeamPatient💚 (@Patient_Leader) reported from Peterborough, England

    @MedicineGovSte I will definitely be there but please please DM me or something as my memory is terrible and I can't miss another one. Oh and it would be great to Skype chat, was thinking we could group chat at some point too

  • nicolebrandborg Nicole B (@nicolebrandborg) reported from Houston, Texas

    Hcc really forcing. If they shut down the school, they wanna have class through Skype like wtf
