  • DarkFeyFanClub Dark Fey Fan Club (@DarkFeyFanClub) reported

    @SkypeSupport Hi, my messages have been lagging for the last day (especially) with the day before last having some sending issues on my end, also. I know you guys just put in a new feature, so I'm sorta hoping you'll debug soon?

  • Weeaboo__Bot Weeaboo Bot (@Weeaboo__Bot) reported

    Im a nonthreatening feminist otaku! 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 ‘boku no pico’ means. Man I’m so horny today. Sorry.I’m sorry. I just came out and said it.

    WHY IS SKYPE SO CONFUSING HELP

  • Trefender Trevor・トレヴァー (@Trefender) reported

    @GlitchDeity I don't think there's really a way around that kind of thing anymore though. It's a problem even with social media, and things like Skype or Discord. If you did manage to get rid of email and phone numbers, I think it'd just happen again elsewhere in some form.

  • GagasHilton A💘 (famous mutual era) (@GagasHilton) reported

    someone wanna help me go over a script on facetime or skype?

  • llovecpl SLloveboy (@llovecpl) reported

    @CamGirl_Roshni1 Hey waiting for your call. Payment is done. Last account not working. Pls send me your skype ID

  • ryukkeybot Ryukkey DoraBot (@ryukkeybot) reported

    I said to my class, good job, #Skype, the world's biggest IM app is still one of the most broken.

  • rezygoy rezygoy (@rezygoy) reported

    i cant help but laugh when trolls slightly get my attention, like i will just respond with something like "no" when they say something like "skype is better than discord" and they start trying to clown me because they "wasted my time" even though my response took 1 second to type

  • MechaYajirobe MechaYajirobe says 'Eren...' (too much) (@MechaYajirobe) reported

    *Turn on Laptop* ME: "Ah time for the very important work Skype call to fix all of our problems!" *Starts call with high importance members* THEM: "And the results are..." *Pop Up* IT: "SOFTWARE UPDATE NOW AND YOU'RE RESTARTING NOW AND A;OSIHA;SLD;GAOSIJFASDF!!!!!!!" #WorkSucks

  • bcomininvisible ❄️Daniel Blake❄️ STAY HOME❄️ ALL TORIES LIE 💙 (@bcomininvisible) reported

    We haven’t been able to see Dee in hospital again because of Covid. We do Skype but she can’t talk as her jaw was broken and is wired up. She’s had 2 ops to rebuild her right hand and wrist and another pins in her leg. She’s not in Intensive care and is conscious but very very

  • GQuinnn Gerard Q (@GQuinnn) reported from Long Beach, New York

    @BarstoolBigCat I’d like to address being called out on the run down. Nicks and KB didn’t start the you don’t watch movies bit, they made it famous but you’ve long mentioned it on PMT for years and on the rundown since it was on Skype. Also didn’t know it upset you, so I am sorry

  • SweetiecoreBun Bun (@SweetiecoreBun) reported

    @Desmond_Hardy Nope I’ve had it!! After my last toxic workplace I had to make my fiancé change the sound of his Skype message tone. I couldn’t listen to it without breaking down crying

  • HendersonVari Henderson Variety (@HendersonVari) reported

    @jordanbpeterson Jordan, I can tell you miss your practice and I wonder would doing such things over video call be a thing you’d like to do? Perhaps even just the Skype calls with supporters you used to do on patreon would help these days as you recover fully soon

  • DorkingBailey Chris Bailey (@DorkingBailey) reported

    Anyone else seeing an issue with #MicrosoftTeams rooms version 4.7.19.0 with the app not automatically starting but rather the Skype account signs into Windows? Currently have 3 devices that have updated any having this issue, workaround is to manually start the app from Windows

  • AngelzLT Laurel T (@AngelzLT) reported

    @pinkfairy727 Still no estimate Nope. We will reopen whenever we are able to reopen. Which will probably not be until at least June going by the current govt timelines. I'm coping. Weekly family Skype calls help and I'm keeping myself busy with books and games.

  • EmeryAGeek Emery the YVR Geek (@EmeryAGeek) reported

    @CTVVancouver You can do a Zoom /Skype for a church service, praying does not need a public building ; “talking” to each other can via phone, Zoom, email, text, fax, you cannot hand out food via Zoom.

  • BUFFM0NA_BOT buff mona (@BUFFM0NA_BOT) reported

    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.

  • SwedeTrap SwedeTrap (@SwedeTrap) reported

    Why do people over 40 struggle with Skype while people under 25 have zero issues with it? Skype was made when the over 40s were 25 and under. HOW CAN THIS BE AN ISSUE?

  • pamplemoussepam Pam Lock (@pamplemoussepam) reported

    My Outlook calendar automatically adds a skype meeting which I later cannot remove unless I do the full screen edit thing to set up every meeting (which I hate doing). Can anyone help or is it broken?

  • lawshalls Vicki Harris 🇪🇺 #FBCoalition2024 (@lawshalls) reported

    @Kelly696_ Talk to people! Therapy can be done on Zoom/Skype. Try watching comedy shows, but don't get cross with yourself if they don't bring joy. Drugs from doctor? Also look up homeopathy for depression, read descriptions and decide which to try for your personality: can really help.

  • MohamedHemish mhmd (@MohamedHemish) reported

    @JustinSalhani @joinClubhouse Yes for sure but these things the app might come under enough pressure to fix and then the UAE govt would shut out of it just like WhatsApp and Skype call which are banned there. UAE is very proactive when it comes to marinating authoritarian rule Mashallah ...

    @king_dingding I’m overwhelmed and need an assistant to help. My workout and diet is a full time job in itself. Add in having to negotiate with customers all day (most waste your time) making content & managing 6+ different social platforms, Skype shows, custom videos...

  • JennaQTaylor Jenna Q Taylor (@JennaQTaylor) reported

    @Skype I signed up for a subscription trial, but it's been pending for over a week (instead of the 24hrs it says is the max.) There's no option to report a problem.

    @eigenbom If you uninstall Skype that problem goes away.
