Skype Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MsYouDoYou BdblE (@MsYouDoYou) reported from Burnaby, British Columbia

    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.

  • flanaganagain_ Patrick Flanagan (@flanaganagain_) reported from Minneapolis, Minnesota

    @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.

  • rachelthecannon Rachelbel's Cannon in D (@rachelthecannon) reported from Takoma Park, Maryland

    @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. 😆

  • styles_o6 Tunde (@styles_o6) reported from Lagos, Lagos State

    😂😂😂 Didn’t Simeon in civil service ‘develop a new app for videoconferencing’ Baba collected money to create Skype accounts for everyone 😂😂😂

  • RobertNogier Robert Nogier (@RobertNogier) reported from Cowley, Alberta

    @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.

  • PaddyLewis15 All Children, Except One, Grow Up (@PaddyLewis15) reported from Southland District, Southland

    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.

  • Waffa1975 Unrealistic Mindset 🤔 (@Waffa1975) reported from Liverpool, England

    @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.

  • SheilaC98106887 Sheila Cox (@SheilaC98106887) reported from Trumbauersville, Pennsylvania

    @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

  • pm_tripathi Prashant M. Tripathi (@pm_tripathi) reported from São Gabriel da Cachoeira, Amazonas

    Skype ..its free full time .. No security issues.. trusted since 18 years

  • JohnCarney John Carney ➡️⬅️ Day 23 (@JohnCarney) reported from Pflugerville, Texas

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

  • lenay_folk 📚NomadicWriter🔖 (@lenay_folk) reported from San Diego, California

    @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.

  • RyanACatron1 Ryan A. Catron (@RyanACatron1) reported from New Albany, Indiana

    @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...

  • BrandonAmyot Brandon Rhéal Amyot (@BrandonAmyot) reported from Orillia, Ontario

    @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.

  • RuthStrydom77 Ruth Strydom (@RuthStrydom77) reported from Rothwell, England

    @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.
