@robman50a Several possible reasons. First thing I would do, though, is try s different video chat (zoom, skype, etc) and see if the problem is there also.

@PharaohSSB Not entirely top level, but this was a thing with the Yoshi skype in early S4, which kinda died down and became the Yoshi discord, and then, well, the rest is history 🙃

.@HuaweiEU My camera swap button doesn't work anymore on my P30 Lite. When I try to take a photo and swap the camera, the Camera App closes. When I try to use it in Messenger, Skype or WhatsApp, it simply doesn't change the camera. Help?

We decided to keep it in-person, but w/ her & her boyfriend calling in online.. we set up a webcam and mics etc, so we'd all be in the one place & they'd Skype in. Personally, I find it super difficult bc of auditory processing issues, but I deal with it & don't complain...

@Skype Team , I am facing an issue last 10 days. When I am talking with headphone at the time of call connecting it's breaking up for 1 or 2 sec then its going normal. But when I am talking without headphone with loud speaker it's working perfect. Plz help.

I don't know if it's the jaws or skype... though I'm beginning to think it's skype since my jaws doesn't freeze, it literally freezes each and everytime I switch conversations. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas on how to solve it/

Been WFH this week so it's easier to help sort funeral arrangements during the day. Not long had a work skype meeting. QUESTION to people frequently WFH, is turning a camera on mandatory or am I missing something?

@MisterLeaves I wouldn’t be opposed to having a 1 on 1 conversation. You will, of course, have to ask me again the day of the conversation, but only because Skype advises you to do so to “avoid legal issues.”

@Balancement @Microsoft They suspended my Skype account for no reason 3 weeks ago...hellish trying to get a response from ten different customers “Service” reps over weeks. Yes, Kafka stars in a remake of “Catch 22”. (And I need Skype because there’s no mobile phone service on this island in Fiji.

@jedicamgirl @Chlo_Cassidy Skype definitely has its technological issues. But other than idiots thinking that Skype automatically means they can pay without tokens, it’s pretty secure. Just don’t give them any leeway when they ask if they can pay with PayPal instead.

Work has been too much today, lock down has me counting my daily email total in how many hundreds, at least there was a time I would think 20 emails was a busy day! Today felt light with only 258 Not counting the Teams messages, Teams calls, Skype calls, and WhatsApps #donein

(@edent) reported
@lisybabe that's a useful idea. Skype let's you call regular phone numbers, but I don't think it links with their video service. You can merge calls on mobile phone - call your friend, then the energy company, then merge. But that's voice only. Not video.

@DaveVescio People think they're climbing the walls cus of being locked down, stuck at home now. Imagine if it was in the 90s 😬 That would've truly driven us insane. No broadband. No smartphones. So no apps like Skype, Zoom or social media. Most folks (in UK) only had 5 TV channels.

@Grinzing03 @Channel4News I do too & haven't seen them in almost 3 years. But it's too risky now & I accept the tradeoff; many others do too. Skype etc not ideal but do help with contact Unless UK & Europe, for that matter, accept short term annoyance of no int'l travel, we won't get control of this.
