I think that the people who breath heavily down the mic, aware of the mute button, do it on purpose. There is no other explanation after 8 months worth of zoom/Skype meetings

@BankofScotland I can't login to my banking account. It is requiring an extra security step but it is an old number. I'm overseas and tried calling with Skype but was on hold for over an hour costing me £10. How can I update my number? Can I arrange you to call me?

@SnazzyQ COVID, is what made Zoom so popular. I’m amazed at the number of people I’ve talked to who don’t know about FaceTime or Skype. Both are much better than Zoom. Google Meet is terrible.

@wlatham92 My understanding is that this scene and a few others were added as fan service during the fairly extensive reshoots, because test audiences didn't see the movie as "Star Wars" enough. It's kinda like how Maul lights his saber for no reason during a skype conference in Solo.

Once is a fluke. Twice is a trend. Something is fucky with Skype on Xbox series X. I've had it hard reboot after an hour on a group call twice now. How do I file an issue?

We've done a couple of times while on Skype together, and once he had sat down to watch his show. I was a bit surprised that he didn't hang up, because he had gotten up briefly before sitting back down and falling asleep.

@MicrosoftHelps I have an issue with Teams. Can only logon via iPhone, not iMAC due to a conflict of my Skype vs Teams login. But following a shared screen via phone is very hard.

@moralrecordings Righto, so seems I'll have to recreate it! I think this makes sense though - the problem is uniformly related to when I'm piping in 3 or more Skype feeds via NDI, and I know that Skype re-sizes the feed live, depending on bandwidth...

@Skype Re your subscription offer: I made 3 separate calls, each lasted around 10s however 3 minutes were deducted from my entitlement. Is this how your service work? You take whole minute?

@SnazzyQ Marketing! And also because people are just lazy! FaceTime is way better and also is Skype But the problem is they zoom has a good set of feature, weather they work that well is one thing but they have incorporated a ton of it

@ladydebidebz1 The bat? Nah. Above its pay grade. The bat union would be on your case. Full moon doesn't fix Skype, either. Sadly.

@BandyXLee1 1/2: What I really want to ask is how much you would charge for an hour a week of Skype therapy? You can kick back and type, doom-scroll awaiting my reply, every so often tab over and jot down a note about this intriguing case report. But I first feel compelled to ask:

use code shawn so i can eat pls ty
(@shawndoesdesign) reported
@SnazzyQ I agree. Instead of choosing something TRUSTED like discord or skype, they pull some random service out of their ***.

Some of the most selfish mfs. And liable to top from the bottom because they are used to simply paying for a service catered exactly to what they want from Us. This tends to make Me very picky about who I allow to *serve* Me on Skype.
