Graduated Chaos
(@oneunicornaway) reported
Other thing I got blamed for: "messing with Skype", when 1) I've never used Skype; 2) the probleme is that you don't know how to log out of an account, and don't remember your login

I upgraded to macOS big Sur a few days ago. Since then I can't screen share via @zoom_us or @Skype . Anyone with similar issues? Any possible solutions? My apps already have screen share permissions.

@suchi_kulkarni @zoom_us @Skype If I remember correctly I had similar problems shortly after upgrading. However I did a lot of reinstallations after upgrading and now everything works without a problem. So I would suggest to delete (properly) the applications and reinstall them. Have you already tried this?

@BabyzSmudge They will have ‘leave a message’ service as they won’t staff it properly. I hear music and road and airport noise ahead. Multiple calls...can do it via Skype all day if you have an internet service. Redial. Redial.

I’m legitimately learned how to be a doctor ONLINE. via Skype and zoom. Isn’t that wild? half of my day is spent email questions to my profs or handling technical issues. The skill of diagnosis comes secondary and IM STILL PAYING FULL PRICE jokes on me. El oh el.

I've had so many recording issues (wrong input, very echo-y room, other side of the call picked up on mic, etc) and every time skype's auto processed recording was 10x better than any fix I was able to do by struggling with fancy, expensive tools for hours

(@shit_rock) reported
hey THE INTERNET! a much beloved relative of mine has issues making/receiving video calls on Skype/similar and it SURE WOULD BE GOOD to see them occasionally. My questions - (1) is the Echo Show stupid simple to operate and (2) is there a decent alternative?

@jsatk yeah it just worked™ out of the box. There was some capture software issues with Big Sur that you had to manually install audio capture software from Rogue Amoeba but things like Facetime and Meets (+ skype/Zoom,etc) were just in a dropdown menu selection

You can tell what generation a person is by the video chat service name they default to for any of them. Millennial and older? Skype Gen Z and lower? Zoom

@Damian_Barr I just have to remember that you are not on it and use SMS. I always find it odd that the same function (text messaging service) can go out of use. In the UK, Whatsapp is to SMS what Zoom is to Skype.

@Skype Skype keeps logging us out. It is very hard to use your service if it is always off. Should I consider switching to something else?
