    @ptz0n @danyork Teams and Skype do not allow virtual cameras (though as you mention some have found success hacking around their code signatures). Search the issues on my old repo I think some folks had Teams working reliably. Usually involves resigning the main app, and sometimes a helper app

    So I'm going to interview this old lady for my thesis, but she chose to do so by whatsapp. I must record it though and suggested doing so on skype, but she knows nothing how to use it, so she's waiting her daughter coming home to help her. I wonder if I did right by asking her?

    @JoePerfMinds Thanks for getting in touch, I'm very sorry to hear about your call wait times. May I ask if you have access to Skype? You can call us on 0044800 111 777 (24/7) using that service, and it won't cost anything as the call will be made via an internet connection. Steven

    @CitiAustralia What's going on with your call centre today? I've called eleven times and keep getting disconnected, typically because they can't hear me or I can't hear them. I've tried via mobile, Skype and Zoom Phone. Worst customer service of any bank in Australia, by far.

    @Loravara It will do the same thing with Skype. It has to do with the headset being paired both as stereo headphones and handsfree headset and the headset being selected for communications by default. On Windows I'd recommend disabling the headset profile to avoid this issue in future.

    @SkypeSupport please can you send instructions on how to get a log of Skype video calls made to just 1 of my contacts. We need it for visa application and I can't find help on line for just one contact and can't find an email address to write to. thanks!

    @king__will__ You'll need to give us a call to complete the verification process. A VoIP service, such as Skype, should allow outbound calls to the U.S. You may want to look into other VoIP options, as well. ~SN

    Like if branch office 19's network back-end sucks, that will get reported up until someone with enough juice says "fix it" or "this costs too much money to care about". Hell, I've seen what happens when the CEO of an enterprise has opinions on Skype.

    @CMendozaEsq @AlysonDecker10 It'll be interesting to see what happens to Lync/Skype or Business Skype. Teams can certainly replace that with no problem.

    I cannot for the life of me figure out why Piezo is not picking up my Skype calls anymore, but will pick up any other service. My Skype settings haven’t changed. (Cc: @tyhildenbrandt?)

    @jimcramer Jim what’s the most for zoom? What keeps ring central or whatever other Skype type video calling service from taking over?
