    @SkypeSupport I have a problem running skype. It starts in a collapsed state when the computer is booted. But, until you expand the window and remove the launch banner, skype is in inactive mode and users see "not online." How to make active without intervention?

    @The_Kyster @GMB @richardgaisford If i someone who cant spell skype can think of it 'admitted to hospital for exhaustion' is a good term to protect her confidentiality then someone would've in the 'palace' and prince charles has admitted having issues, too many questions...

  • drdavegriffiths Dave Griffiths (@drdavegriffiths) reported

    @urbaneprofessor You essentially have used it a lot. Microsoft bought them out and it's basically the video service you get in Teams. Over time they're wanting everyone to only use it via the Teams branding (and get rid of the awful Skype interface).

    Some days I've just had enough and today honestly is one of those days with skype/IT issues at work all day and everything else going on I just can't cope today! Highlight of the day chatting for 20 mins on stream just doing nothing but random talk

  • FFOEG3 Arthur Fleck (@FFOEG3) reported

    @cherylboruszko Guess it's better than using Microsoft's teams or Skype. They'd have a paperclip popping up every 2 mins saying " I see you are trying to get laid, can I help? "

    THIS CANT BE REAL ITS LIKE WHEN COWORKERS HAVE ISSUES WITH SKYPE

    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.

  • Connect2meNow Robert Kemp (@Connect2meNow) reported

    Social media post is definitely not the place to talk about serious issues. The messages become scrambled in an attempt to respond to each other. Skype, FB live Chat, Zoom, etc are better for serious discussions online or on mobile devices.

    Another work text group......when Skype works just f- Jesus Help.

  • _BeeGilly_ patti mayonnaise (@_BeeGilly_) reported

    @laurpaige Agreed!!! I’m in software development so EYE KNOW I’d do so much better learning in person or having someone to help out in person....there’s just A LOT happening and getting one on one time via teams/Skype is hard...let alone learning what I need to know. 🙃🙃🙃🙃

  • zcichy Zac Cichy (@zcichy) reported

    Are there any issues with podcast recording software on an M1 Mac? Call Recorder? Skype? Zoom? Going to start using an M1 Mac Mini tomorrow and would be good to know beforehand if there are any software issues.

    @Master_Nova1 Having trouble with skype

  • Mad_iguana Martin J Gilbert (@Mad_iguana) reported

    @JoeODonohoe @eircare I don't think so; in the end I think it was some restriction on my account that I couldn't fathom. I ended up using Skype to call Sony. And tbh, they make Eir customer care seem like a paragon of customer-focused service.

  • RobertMorvay cool guy really great personality (@RobertMorvay) reported

    We'd have skype calls and play video games, and they'd occasionally mention some kind of religious undertone, for some science fiction sounding religion. They gave me control of that very same meme page, and told me to help find others for our "friend group".
