In-person meetings help foster relationships in a way that Skype or conference calls often do not.

@jstn @noahkalina Maybe the three of us start a new podcast that’s only about drugs but Noah and I get everything wrong and you try to correct us but Skype keeps cutting out your audio. It’s called Broken Doors. Please like and subscribe.

@LordKissypants The cool thing about using a notebook mainly for writing (and I'm assuming email/skype) is that you don't need a beast of a machine, so it's not going to break the bank. I have struggled to find a machine better than my ThinkPad. Great quality, reliable and awesome service.

@beeredbrewer I can use open office if that's an issue or they haven't figured it out yet tbh. As long as it has a camera on it for Skype type stuff etc and I can do administrative stuff, I'm pretty happy.

Question: I have a remote setup here, my NLE video output and monitors all connected into the ATEM Mini, zoom/skype is not cutting it in terms of resolution/streaming. Is there any service that could get a better peer 2 peer connection? Streaming directly to an NDI hardware?

@NasWithoutWax First interview I had was via WhatsApp. Though I was given the option between that and Skype. I think it's an efficient means of solving a simple problem. Even if it's not an interview, why would anyone reply a message like that? A simple "Hello" would've solved the problem here

Can't call my mom on Thanksgiving because of a restriction on her phone. 😞 This is the first time I've had this problem. Usually call her on Skype, but calling her directly from my phone will not work either. They changed her number on her and now it's restricted.

@florian_krammer skype crashes constantly, Chime is ok, Zoom slows VPN down a lot. I much prefer Teams.

@notfittoserve @davemacladd Appreciate your concern but I already get paid for consultations as part of my NHS settlement. Doesn't help though. Get better help talking on Skype to my friends overseas. You yourself mentioned anti-vax. Fact is therefore we won't lose the restrictions unless they're persuaded

How we are conditioned affects our outlook on everything. I'm sure no one would find a problem with a work interview over Skype or Zoom but if it's over say, WhatsApp or IG you might wonder if the interviewer is serious for a bit

I was on bed last night, almost 10pm. Chilling and actually going through some journals. Forgot to signoff my skype, a colleague from Chennai ping, asking if he can call me for 2mins which end up to an hour. We brainstormed on some issue on the system, how I fix it last time,

@stephenjudkins I cannot express how much Skype sucks. There is no way to just enter an ID. You have to do a global search by name. But you can use it with phone numbers...for money. I was able to use Zoom over an Nvidia Shield, but only after a janky install and with a terrible webcam.

Ok, quick vent, just ignore this one. I have been doing schoolwork nonstop for a while and today was a day off for me. Long story short, apparently my friends swapped apps from google hangouts to skype, and now I feel like I'm in a zoom meeting. Help

Okay, no judgement please. It was at 10:08 AM this morning when I opened the fridge, to see what I could see (while on a work Skype call) and the first thing that jumped out at me was my fancy beer.. I proceeded to drink my fancy beer and it went down SOOO NICE #noonsomewhere?

@SkypeSupport Hi. I'm trying to set up Skype calling on some Alexa devices I've bought my children, but when I attempt to sign in to Skype as them, I'm told that it's not possible as they are a child. As they have Skype on their own PCs, this seems ridiculous, is there a fix?
