@craigperko They patched in some dedicated Skype button recently that was actually pushing notifications to me (while I have the notifications function entirely disabled), and every official rep was INSISTING, smiley faces and all, that because Skype isn't installed, there's no problem.

@olafdoesstuff @Ianblackford_MP There's that whole "land border" issue that Scotland doesn't have, unless it's in Skype? Then there were all of those people who were "shafted" when they were shot or blown up in the Troubles. It isn't always about you, precious.

Teams/Skype is for quick questions, not for asking me to do things. I am not going to drop everything to babysit your issue. SEND ME A ******* EMAIL.

@elamin88 (Oh, I'm carrying a beard comb with me a lot more frequently now though - to fix up the mess a bit after I take off my mask. I'm single and live alone though (and I can work from home), and Zoom/Teams/Skype hides a lot of the mess that normally I'd need more effort to address.)

@chriswweller @businessinsider Zoom ate Skype's lunch bigtime! Skype dropped the ball when it mattered the most! 18yrs of a headstart down the drain!

On today’s episode of “Let’s fix something that’s not broken”, we will be switching from Microsoft Skype to Microsoft teams, and also, it will make your already-****** computers run even slower

@MichaelJordaan Generally good for most tasks, experiencing alot of issues with intermittent disconnects from corporate VPN especially during a skype call over VPN. Happens most frequently from midday onwards, works fine when checking with another provider. Please test this.

@ergo_praxis @Angry_Cassie I taught "Down Girl" in the most recent feminist philosophy course I had. She was supposed to Skype in with us on the last day of class, but got sick. We've gone over a lot of ideas together too. I think she's the best.

Can’t believe someone is using this cafe for Skype- the WiFi is throttled at 5 down, even less up. Just realized they are probably using purely cellular bandwidth on their iPad.

discord needs a startup sound like skype's but the problem is that I don't think it's possible to recreate the skype sound aesthetic in this day and age

@PstarmanUa @danielbessonov Yes, and correcting for delay, fixing a lot of little issues that can come up over a Skype call, and just generally tweaking to sound better.

If you can have church at 15% then the gym can be at 15%! This Pandemic virus doesn’t give a sh*t if your praying to god! Go pray on f’n YouTube or Skype or some sh*t! It’s a god damn joke that you can still go to church but we have to shut down the rest of the world for 4 weeks!

@WomenOfDnD @roll20app DnD has been one of my main social interaction this year. We just use a free video call service called Jitsi. Haven't really missed the visuals that much and if on occasion we want to share an image we've just used Skype or email.

@cl_gamble @minirmorgan @p0ppyfield Yeah, I get it. Actually there is a private service that'll do you an online skype chat and comprehensive diagnosis for about £300, if you have it, but it's not an option I've been able to take yet. I read about it on SallyCat's PDA page on Facebook.

@fisher_ke I left a "blah blah blah" in a cover letter. Did a Skype interview in blouse, pajama pants, and moose slippers and stood up. This is also part of the process. Every time I hear an employer say, "If they really wanted the job, they wouldn't have made an error," I scream!

@Husaria Not sure what the issue is but the console freezes during a game > crashes > then I need to reboot. I noticed it started happening when I’m using voice chat or Skype during a game so I thought it was a RAM issue now it just happens even if I’m not using them and just the game.

@taseroth Our company is retiring Skype. We use WebEx since years in and externally. This year most internal calls use Teams. It almost had never issues with voice quality and drop outs.

@BorisJohnson @EU_Commission @vonderleyen Skype...? Teams....? Telephone conference....? Why the actual fluff are you flying there? Oh but wait.....as a "high value" businessman you'd never have to isolate once you get back would you? Outrageous that you're flying there while you've got us fools locked down!

They better stop the Skype service or sick leave here I come! I ain’t gonna talk to an imbecile who don’t understand there’s nothing we can do for him, cause the problem ain’t in the bank. Spoke about 20 times today with him.

@Amanda_Bhopes Yeah that sounds like a good plan. I guess I could Skype my parents but God help me if I have to explain technology over the phone to a couple of 70 year olds 😣
