@SquawkAlley What system do you use for online interviews? Watching Affirm interview and audio is terrible. Sounds like Skype from 8 years ago. Do you do pre-interview testing?

Is anyone ever going to fix Skype or are we all just secretly hoping it will die?

I'm scheming with my student's mother to lie to my boss to get her money back. There was a Skype error that took up 75% of the time of the lesson to fix. I don't trust him to refund because he cares more about money than customer satisfaction.

Anyone else have issues with Skype on MacOS constantly crashing? I only really have it for work stuff, but it's kinda always quietly crashing in the background.

@GiryaGirl @AutSciPerson Compression won't help with clipping if the mic gain is too high at recording level. Communication apps like Skype and similar have auto-gain as a default option for mic recording, which can prevent clipping, so there's no good reason why a game couldn't have similar feature.

@RobDamnDavis @MSFT365Status It's unusable most times in the UK, going as bad as Skype. That collapsed last year together with O365 and left many Gov offices offline. It's doing the same again now for many users. Poor service, slow, shared drives vanishing, proxy servers offline... useless and costly.

@skchang @chamath Anything Cisco bought for consumers should be spun off. Some Microsoft acquisitions fit the Cisco problem like Skype. LinkedIn is losing life with niche competitors taking market share and would probably be better in it's own.

In-person meetings help foster relationships in a way that Skype or conference calls often do not.

When you send payment, & your husband/wife is sending it for you, I have no idea who it's for unless they tell me who you are on Twitter. Please keep in mind your name is different on Twitter/skype/Venmo & I have to keep track of all 3. Please help me out & tell me who it's for!

@PerryGibson_ I appreciate this is a co-ordination problem a much as anything else. Code clubs could choose to use tools which work on these more-accessible platforms. I have no idea why they chose Skype of all things. But here we are.

What have @Microsoft done to skype for business? It takes all the cpu when screen sharing, voice quality is muddy. If i was cynical I'd say It's like they have turned the wick down to force you onto teams. But that's just me. (kermit meme) #skype #MicrosoftTeams

... the cat was not an issue with Skype, but with software more hidden and fundamental in the computer itself. It is installed by Dell when the computer is put together, he found, which explains why it would come up not just on Skype but on Zoom ...

Lots of rightful criticism against Skype for having a head start in the online calling space & still being lacklustre. But to me, Skype is now more an international *phone* calling service than online conferencing. It’s great at calling mobiles & landlines for decent prices.

@EricaCooper @rgay I just used it a few days ago and didn’t have any trouble. About 12 people on the call. Certainly better than the personal call I had on Skype the day before, which lagged and lowered the resolution horribly.

@electricsmartie I expressed interest in a kitten last year, I asked if they'd do a Skype so that I could see the kittens and maybe see them from the garden (so not going inside) - no reply, they'd collected deposits from others and the ad was taken down the following day.

@wirednot I would need to see some jitter plots that you can generate from doing fast pings. I hear all the time claims that Skype work fine while Zoom doesn't. When I further press the user for detail, they admit that Skype is also having issues. I would need to see hard data.
