  • RyanACatron1 Ryan A. Catron (@RyanACatron1) reported from New Albany, Indiana

    @KyEdWorkforce @GovAndyBeshear I have noticed that the largest problem trying to get help with UI claims is that people who are trying to help us don't know how to help us. How about using Skype or a different conferencing solution that way people can be face to face...

  • GDunn54 George Dunn (@GDunn54) reported from Matlock, England

    @599bt I’m working on a drive for “better normal” let’s get “Gain for our Pain” We have learned commuting 2 hours each way doesn’t add value. Zoom, Skype, Team can help us be better Gain for our Pain

  • edmoses ed moses (@edmoses) reported from Harefield, England

    @Ian_H_007 @virginmedia I pay for 500Mb - currently getting 86Mb. I can just about live with that. Being on hold during Skype/Teams/Zoom calls is unacceptable. The boys are having problems gaming and our video downloads on Sky keep failing - not great service.

  • hlouiseg Hayley Wood (@hlouiseg) reported from Truro, England

    @E7Drew @DrSarahJarvis @KOLRock17 Yes he has a care package in place & I had another best interest meeting last week via skype to try & get more help. A care home isn't viable (for obvious reasons). Its a nightmare scenario & desperately difficult to keep him & the people he's coming into contact with safe.

  • DanielBennettNY Daniel Bennett (@DanielBennettNY) reported from Manhattan, New York

    @SocialGreg I prefer Skype. I like the audio. But I guess all of the video platforms have their unique problems!

  • tamalyn1 •.✫Tamalyn✫.• (@tamalyn1) reported from Llandegfan, Wales

    My parents and technology! I do wish I could help directly instead of by skype Haha

  • Anoup6 Anoup Yadav (@Anoup6) reported from Gurgaon, State of Haryāna

    @SkypeSupport In skype app conversation anybody can remove you and his name doesn't show. Is there a method to become host and converse or restrict participant. Need urgent help. +91 9818882496

  • RuthStrydom77 Ruth Strydom (@RuthStrydom77) reported from Rothwell, England

    @ClareWheatGoo @carbischoral @DeliaTurnbull I had concerns about that initially but I believe those issues have been swiftly resolved... I’m not using it for piano teaching, am firmly sticking to familiar platforms such as Skype/FaceTime for that purpose.

  • AdobeFlash7 Desmond ? Duncan? Harrison? (@AdobeFlash7) reported from Craven Arms, England

    “Ur meant to be writing this down ;that’s better now stop *************** and calling me a whanker u mean ****** but it saying it like I know who.yes i am a ****** i **** over u on Skype then I talk abusivly to u because I’m pathetic little ***** bubble ur words Desmond” whanker

  • akonkin Amanda Konkin (@akonkin) reported from Penticton, British Columbia

    First @Skype made me cry by locking me out (which I'm still raging about) and then in the middle of figuring out internet connection issues my computer just decided to install updates... so yeah @Arkwulf and I will record @ThunderQuackPod tomorrow. #callit #techsupport

    I provide full service GFE starting at $300 for 1/2 hour Incall. $500 for 1 hour Incall. $600 for 1 hour outcall. $3000 overnight (10 hours). I’m also available for VideoChat sessions via Skype, FaceTime, WhatsApp, SnapChat, etc starting at $100 for 10 minutes.

  • flanaganagain_ Patrick Flanagan (@flanaganagain_) reported from Minneapolis, Minnesota

    @HongPong @amandamull @mcmansionhell I’ve wondered if a video/audio conference service that offered higher audio quality for a modest fee would get traction. I would pay something for hangouts/zoom/Skype to sound good reliably.

  • Nateleysystems Rolly Chewable Toothbrush (@Nateleysystems) reported from Gosport, England

    On line the only way forward to market, for Products. No more travelling to meetings Skype is the answer, no need for expensive offices,no Business Rates, issue staff with laptop and good 5G. Then the social distancing will be complied with and the Virus will eliminated

  • Skylar10211 🧡❤Morgan❤🧡 (@Skylar10211) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    @Juzoer Yeah back in like the early 2010s when gaming youtube was really hitting it off everyone was using skype and youtubers were having crashes and connection errors all over the place with skype. Now everyone uses Discord. The clearer audio in voice chats was a huge improvement.

  • crwilson_84 Chris Wilson (@crwilson_84) reported from Christchurch City, Canterbury

    For context I was in the UK and the global financial crisis was just kicking off. Guess I was 25 then. The folks at the US forestry service I spoke to were so nice and keen, and had never done a Skype interview before! They wanted me for over a year and I just wasn't ready then.

  • BatesBates75 Heather Jean Bates (@BatesBates75) reported from Halifax, England

    @KeithCoutts @Rik_Langford @CalderdaleIag @farzanahmedhx @WYP_NeilTaylor @gethmyster If it's any help Keith, whenever I tried the link it's informed me I would have to update my iOS something. I no longer have a lap top, that did have Skype I now use an iPad ( not the flash ones) and an iPhone. Sufficient for my needs usually. Technology amazing...when it works!

  • MrDisco3 MrDisco (@MrDisco3) reported from Vaughan, Ontario

    @Skype Yes the issue is with chrome

  • PaddyLewis15 All Children, Except One, Grow Up (@PaddyLewis15) reported from Southland District, Southland

    Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype. They can all **** off. As soon as NZ opens up again, @cmcql and I are off for the weekend. Don't care where, so long as it is not anywhere that anyone who has ****** me off in the last 7 weeks lives, because I will probably burn their house down.

  • LittleMelmaid Melissa 'Working From Home'-blett (@LittleMelmaid) reported from Quedgeley, England

    Just about to head into my 7th Skype meeting of the day. I am broken. 🤯

  • rich0131 rich0131 (@rich0131) reported from Sheffield, England

    Bloke on this Skype call sounds like he’s breathing down a cardboard tube. It’s very strange.

  • lenay_folk 📚NomadicWriter🔖 (@lenay_folk) reported from San Diego, California

    @Estochen Fair enough. If someone were inviting you to Skype watching porn together I'm sure you'd have no problem telling them that's not your thing. Just tell them that's something you wouldn't enjoy, but thanks anyway.

  • SanjoyRoyTWA Sanjoy K Roy (@SanjoyRoyTWA) reported from Gurgaon, State of Haryāna

    Waking up in an air conditioned bubble, reaching for a fresh glass of juice, settling down to a day of zoom/ skype is far removed from the reality out there for millions. Hungry Walking under the scorched sun Headed for home Desperate for relief! An unsympathetic state knows all!

  • limbani_akash Akash Limbani #StayAtHome (@limbani_akash) reported from Gondal, State of Gujarāt

    @Skype is down India.

  • tolajuwon Tólá Quadri (@tolajuwon) reported from Elgin, Illinois

    @boludmaestro I think it's a lot of things. For one Skype has had many issues around performance. Not to mention the many wrong moves by Microsoft to try and market it as an Enterprise product. Enterprise products don't do well with everyday consumers.

  • totspurs1981 Chris Crumby (@totspurs1981) reported from White Meadow Lake, New Jersey

    @KaalTrader @DHeimbuchner @FIFAeWorldCup @EASPORTSFIFA Heard about this new video chat called Skype can you help me find it on my laptop
