    Chat function on Skype seems to be down...I can make & receive calls, but messages I'm sending aren't going. Just me, I guess? Wonder what's up with that...

  • BigLoudMoore Brett Moore (@BigLoudMoore) reported

    @BlueNGoldJoe You and I should grab a beer sometime on Skype or FaceTime and have this discussion. It doesn’t go down well in publicly interruptible strings of 280 character bites. There’s a lot of ideas and assumptions just in that question that have to be addressed first.

  • ireadtwi (@ireadtwi) reported

    @iskcon I want to sell my Skype account for a reasonable price with the login iskcon. If you need this Skype account with the iskcon login, please contact me at the same Skype address

    Say, TV companies? You don't have to use Skype/Zoom/Discord sound on pre-recorded interviews. We know it was done over whichever service, you don't need to prove it. Audacity's free, get people to bloody well use it.

    Im a nonthreatening feminist maid! 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 ‘dubbed anime’ means. Man I’m so horny today. Sorry.I’m sorry. I just came out and said it.

    International friends and families 🌎, you can still use Skype credit or direct line to call your loved one’s mobile number if internet is cut off. MPT and Myanmar Net is down at the moment #SaveMyanmar #WhatsHappeningInMaynmar

  • RadioactiveRico RadioactiveRico (@RadioactiveRico) reported

    @BeckBourdeau @maziehirono Ok then how about this? This bill would make it financially untenable to operate an online service. You realize how broad harassment is? Discord. Gone. Skype. Gone. Blogs. Gone. This bill would require active monitoring of every since message, call, post, and image online.

  • EclecticMethod eclecticm.eth (@EclecticMethod) reported

    I just built a desktop PC with the help of my mate Paul over skype. It just turned on and is installing windows

    @IskconInc If you need a Skype account with the iskcon login, contact the same profile, I will sell inexpensively

    @pulte Daughter in person in over 3 years. Even if you can't help with 2k anything would be greatly appreciated. I miss her so much but it's so unbelievably expensive to fly round trip there 😥. I love being a father and it hurts my heart telling Lucy over Skype all the time that

    @AguirreVVV That's the photo op when MORrisON was dressing down Kelly on skype.

  • Cloud9Goddess claudia (@Cloud9Goddess) reported

    @KeanuReevesoff1 A man pretending to be you is trying to violate me, and I'm afraid. He claims to be in Berlin Germany filming the Matrix 4th Chapter-his words. He claims to have lost his wife and daughter, and would like to Skype with me. Is he you? Plz help me Mr Reeves. He goes by Mr Reeves C

    @dancharvey Been there, done that, but on Skype, back in 2014. Not easy. Then, it was a logistics issue. Today, its a safety issue.

  • underscorefunk Underscorefunk (@underscorefunk) reported

    Tonight: I wanna play a game. Nope, missing DLL. Ok, now I have to download C++ support for 2012 windows... which requires a login, which I can't do because @microsoft screwed up the merge of my skype and MS accounts. Ugggh

  • metalfreakneo Nuzhat Islam (@metalfreakneo) reported

    @franifio I typed "my name" in Skype login at work the other day. Not even my name, the text. Because I couldn't remember. Okay, I think that's lyfe now.

  • buddy_runyan Buddy Runyan (@buddy_runyan) reported

    @6bq9music The only problem I had with the Behringer is the phone would not switch to the interface on Facebook Messenger or Skype. The interface would only switch on when doing streaming like Facebook Live. I was hoping to have stereo sound on Skype, for example.

  • ZeltraxMilleniu Jessie Elias (@ZeltraxMilleniu) reported

    OK, from now until... whenever it's finished, I'm gonna be Radio-Silent/shutting my browser down for my interview with @itsamike. I wanna make sure Skype doesn't have ANY problems working for both of us. Everyone? Wish me luck because I think I'll need it.

  • CEOSebastian Anthony Sebastian (@CEOSebastian) reported

    @TheJimCornette Computers are frustrating and Skype has always caused issues. If you need assistance, I can remote into the computer and install Microsoft Teams, which has given me far less issues. Good luck Jim, I hope that this storm will pass soon.

  • maclockdown Darrell Maclaine (@maclockdown) reported

    @gralefrit @mzdt @SteveDoherty1 Something that I think about - nobody actually records guests down the actual phone line anymore, even though modern mobile signals are often less glitchy than Skype ones and higher base quality than laptop mics. And it's really easy to do with the headphone jack on a smartphone!

  • PatBradley_ Pat Bradley (@PatBradley_) reported

    I used Skype for Business for the first time ever today and let’s just say I now understand how Skype blew a 28-3 lead to Zoom. Good God what a terrible product. In other news, happy anniversary to the Patriots completing the greatest comeback of all time.

  • cmtefiaco Reinaldo M Del Fiaco (@cmtefiaco) reported

    Hi @satyanadella, do you use @Skype? To make a call is hard to find the dialer and to enter a number takes a long time. Is so slow! How could I help you? Maybe I can talk with your dev team.

    @xCatMcGee Skype was so terrible 😭

  • thugbawdy krispy kreamer (party) (@thugbawdy) reported

    Also I’m not bringing back Skype sessions, if something’s not on the tip menu then it’s not a service I offer :)

  • Marksmithwas12 Mark John Smith 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Marksmithwas12) reported

    **** SKYPE All I wanted to do was make a phone call through it so I could get in contact with a phone repair shop as MY PHONE IS BROKEN and do you know what Skype did? Locked me out of my account, reported my email as being hacked and now I'M WITHOUT A PHONE + ACCESS TO MY EMAIL

    MY EX: I think we should break up... ME: I’m sorry. You’re breaking up... MY EX: Yes! I’m breaking up with you. ME: I can’t understand. You’re breaking up... MY EX: Let’s just try Skype. ME: There’s another guy?! Getting broken up with on Zoom is a real “Who’s On First?” huh?!
