  • geoff_perry Geoff Perry (@geoff_perry) reported

    @Skype How long has Skype been in business? 10 years? 15 years? Why cant we watch a TV interview via Skype without it freezing up or fracturing or totally going off air? What kind of a Mickey Mouse service are you?

  • justtradin Jake Tiley (@justtradin) reported

    @Microsoft But it's not safe to trust MSFT Where is my access to my email account I've had for 22+ YEARS After 250+ emails to Microsoft support legal tweets $MSFT still won't give me access Yet My new Gmail acct Is the login for Skype acct Now Legal & CRA is involved #MicrosoftHelp

  • abhishekmishraw Abhishek Mishra (@abhishekmishraw) reported

    Telegram: Group chat is not encrypted, I would say worst platform. Signal: There's issue with backup while changing number. Whatsapp: Technically there is issue with new privacy policy, data safety. Still reliable than telegram. Skype: Premium, reliable and highly recommended 👌

  • Fluxxuation Taz/22 (@Fluxxuation) reported

    @danjhsn I got turned down for a viewing because I asked for a Skype viewing instead of going to see the actual house because someone lived in it already like what

  • SyberEbooks Syber Ebooks (@SyberEbooks) reported

    good, push my singing down so no one to talk to on skype weh halp

  • sarahhall401 old woman (@sarahhall401) reported

    @Kirkaboutless And there are still police stations where is impossible to rep by Skype as they don't have laptops/ have WiFi issues

  • Sherbare62 Sherbare6 (@Sherbare62) reported

    @BrandonStraka SOS!! THEY ARE SHUTTING US DOWN!!!! WE ARE MOVING TO MEWE SKYPE RUMBLE PARLOR ANYWHERE TO GET OUT THE TRUTH!!!!

  • yanic1965 Iain Morrison (@yanic1965) reported

    @NMMackenzie Yep that is a problem but this is wrong way to tackle it, could have done interviews on Zoom or Skype and used footage from staff phones

  • rocquetman RocquetMan (@rocquetman) reported

    Izzy doesn’t have Twitter so she won’t see this but as many of you know, she and I met online and, for the first few months, our relationship was long distance. She’s always had trouble sleeping since I’ve known her so we would talk over Skype every night. 1/3

  • RAYCATENA1 Martin (@RAYCATENA1) reported

    @zoom_us Zoom is terrible. I use skype!

  • ShivamVahia Shivam Vahia (@ShivamVahia) reported

    The problem with this strategy tho is, a big company can still provide free service. Skype has Microsoft and are doing fine. Jio could push JioChat as a free alternative. They just want people to use data, doesn't matter which app accomplishes that.

  • wslack Will Slack (@wslack) reported

    @ChanceRisker @maxberger I would equate those to an ephemeral zoom/teams call/meet/hangout/skype call/facetime call. Phone companies are also public utilities (at least for landlines, where users often don't have choice), and users pay them. Pretty different than a free web service imo.

  • LisaCongo Lisa “Bloody Nubby Fingers” Congo🇨🇦 (@LisaCongo) reported

    “Okay. Well. I am going to hang up.” And by hang up, he meant putting the tablet down, Skype will running and turned on his TV. He is watching CSI Miami.

  • The_Reaper2008 Reaper (@The_Reaper2008) reported

    @D4VEH @ReochReoch @LozzaFox Family in U.K. have said that Sky is and has been down since Thursday morning. Was supposed to skype them to celebrate my brothers 21 as I can’t get over there due to lockdown, but Sky **** the bed.

  • KhlYura YuraKhl (@KhlYura) reported

    @hitbtc Can you help me to connect with compliance service any other way? Maybe using WhatsApp? Zoom? Skype? As you can see they didn't answer me 9 month via email I am ready to provide any information they want

  • sophiahuda Sophia Huda (@sophiahuda) reported

    @SkypeSupport @Microsoft I am trying to reset my mother's Skype password and have been stuck in a Kakfaesque nightmare by your design. I'm sure there is a far more efficient way of doing this but you haven't implemented it, hope I at least can get help this way.

  • 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.

  • steelpanali Alison Home (@steelpanali) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp For 9 months we have been having drop outs on broadband the online speed tests show the speeds to be highly variable 8-90mb. The biggest problem is the signal dropping out completely interrupting online video/skype meetings affecting home working abilities.

  • janelleawesome Janelle Awesome (@janelleawesome) reported from Toronto, Ontario

    “You cannot access this right now” is what my work Skype tells me when I’m not connected to Citrix, and it always feels so aggressive when it pops up in 18pt font. Like did I do something to offend you? Just ask me to sign in let’s settle down here

  • MajiTheLioness Kera the Fox (@MajiTheLioness) reported

    Today on “Maji’s Computer Continues to Attempt to Die”: open Star Stable, Skype will also open on an unresponsive static window, unable to change display settings to match monitor resolution, closing laptop causes forced shut down. In other news I’m in the market for a new PC.

  • sambit19 Kernelcorn (@sambit19) reported

    Is this normal or a problem with the software? 3. It works only with the OBS software and does not work with others. I checked Skype, Zoom and Chime.

  • Almighty_faye Almighty Faye™ (@Almighty_faye) reported

    @pumpkinkeely @Tattooed_Mummy They should be, I know smaller ones are doing home checks over zoom or Skype. It’s the home check side that’s causing issues. However they are only placing dogs locally as far as I can tell just in case they need to return to rescue.

  • ironyintheblood ironyintheblood (@ironyintheblood) reported

    @thetomska We did a Skype call in which I interviewed you for a university assignment in 2018. You were very pensive and quiet until I got you talking about how bad you feel for all the problems in the world that my generation is gonna be forced to fix, or die. It was very validating.

    @p0intle55 @KnowNothingTV @CopingMAGA or holding down control m on skype lmfao

  • MiyajuSun Mr.Miyagi宮城さん (@MiyajuSun) reported

    @JoeAgneya Replacing Google isn't that hard. I did it years ago. 1) samsung cloud + onedrive 2) outlook email 3) skype instead of whatsapp 4) social media not interconnected (using Google /fb to login to other social media). 4) duckduckgo (browser + search)

  • Isobel_waby Isobel_Waby DEFEND CORBYN (@Isobel_waby) reported
