@RebBrooks1 that must feel terrible! Did you get to see them via Skype/Facetime at least?

@kocienda I still can’t work out what caused Zoom to be everyone’s default, it’s terrible and wasn’t a household brand until March ‘20, how did Skype, Facetime or Discord not dominate this market

I can't believe sometimes that my therapist used to charge £100 an hour just to skype me and tell me to do some job applications and clean my room :/ literally a watered down version of my mum, but the daylight robbery edition stopped after a month + went back to tweeting lol

@Zipzta @BookwormBean @StillBattsby We are allowed one Skype face to face (15 mins per week) on a weekday so mam does that, I can’t be there always. We took in an old iPad & asked them to help him use it for FaceTime. It’s been offline for weeks, no matter how much we ask them to help.

@TrevPerson i have fought this for so long, since the skype days, and have no idea how to fix it myself. i think windows noticed your mic input is high and lowers it? i wrote an application to lock input volume back in like 2013 because it was such a big issue for my friends and i on skype

they became the defacto messaging service because they were better than skype, but now they are being dethroned by other services that are becoming better than them they fail to innovate or follow trends, often only implementing things long after other services

@cbkwgl Barkha Dutt, once a powerbroker, is running a YouTube channel with Skype Video calls. Nira Radia nowhere to be seen. Nidhi Razdan into fake degree issue now. Shekhar Gupta regularly requests people to be subscribers of Print. NDTV in debt case. India Today in TRP case.

@OneCakeLady Hmm. Ok. Not familiar with banana meter. The way I would troubleshoot it is: 1. Undo any recent changes to your setup. 2. Test the mic in simple environment, e.g. a Skype call. If the mic still makes the noise, remove the usb part and use just the 3.5mm jack. Just isolate issues

Glad I’m checking out this Covid WH press briefing because this release-web communications broadcast is absolutely terrible like everyone is dropping you can’t hear a single word “can you hear me now?” It’s like a Skype call with grandma. Things are getting better now. Nice.

@spencermorgan93 It is grinding me down slowly, 11 months since I met with my team from work, we have a Friday breakfast catch up and I'm really not interested in dialing in on Skype. When I do I don't say anything

The only thing I miss about Ukraine is my grand parents. Kinda sad to see how they are getting old but I do my best to help them.. tryna call couple times a week on Skype and send some money. But attention is the biggest thing they need.

Middle managers: They are OK doing their eight hours of Zoom and Skype calls per day, but they can’t do anything in terms of coaching, mentoring, guiding, developing — assuming they ever did. They are doubling down on “making the trains run” as opposed to anything else.

@TillaCrowne @FryRsquared This is an evolving problem. Go and look at your Skype/Teams call and hangup icons. Did millennial ever use a phone like that? And then there are media player play/pause/stop/rewind/fforward icons and their origins....

@joreilly Hi John, do you have any screen recording software or software like Skype that could be interpreted as screen sharing? Even a snipping tool could be causing this error

@shunting_yard Hey, man! Do you think we can talk again on Skype of Discord? I not only want to talk about the terrible redesign of Thomas, but also anything else that comes to mind.

@skype is it possible to talk to a human about issues I am having with accessing my account? I've tried every available route and nothing has helped so far. Quite frustrating.

In other news, had a Skype meeting today with someone very smart looking, wearing a suit. Couldn’t help but laugh when their husband appeared, bare legged, in his dressing gown. It was 11.30am

I don't know why people are paying so much money for Zoom accounts that can host meetings longer than forty minutes when Skype offers the exact same service for free.

@bartonwillage I guess it blows my mind that people are still stressing the possibility of tech issues at this point. Academics, non-academic hiring departments, and JMCs should be comfortable using Skype/Zoom/WebEx/whatever. They weren't a year ago, sure. But now they should be!

@lovely84smg @M1Singapore I face similar issue recently with m1 data. Voice calls over Skype, Whatsapp, Facetime or Telegram - all get continuous disruption. Phone restart done. m1 also reset settings last week. Issue persists and raised with 1627. Engineers yet to revert. 😥 #m1dataissue
