Just had an hour long Skype chat with my Mum for the first time (she's terrible with technology) and she said she wants to learn how to send me memes using it - there are still good things happening

@JohnnyMercerUK Absolutely right Johnny. I was hoping to go to stay with friends to help with home schooling of their three 3 kids but that would be irresponsible so I will help via Skype and by recommending educational programmes on bbc and sending good books via Amazon.

@AltitudeChaz Right now I’m planning out a charity Skype show drive to raise money for all my friends who need some help & don’t have work rn! But like, I’ve also donated a higher percentage of my personal net worth than Jeff Bezos has so far, so I think capitalism might be like, broken.

Another two weeks signed off for me, due to Glandular fever repercussions. Feeling guilty i can't help at work, lazy and that I'm not doing my bit. Going to read lots, gentle yoga to keep the body moving and find some e-learning! If anyone fancies a phone/skype let me know! 🌎

Last week got my dad set up Skype by talking him through it on the phone. Tonight Skype is not working for them because it is trying to sign me in. #selfisolationproblems

Men doing network interviews via Skype at home, let your wife fix the camera angle. I guarantee they'll be no nostril shots if a woman is in charge.

@MikeCarlton01 Who cares who we havent heard! If you see people dying around the world and lucky to say goodbye on messenger or skype...and the virus is passed through contact, we need a total shut down except for utilities, food and medicines to survive

Some of y’all have never been in a long distance relationship and are just discovering the joys of FaceTime. Welcome. It’s been terrible for at least the last 5 years to my knowledge (Skype isn’t any better). Your convos will take twice as long, but you’ve got the time now.

@JulesPolonetsky This is a feature of a range of apps for eons(Webex, Adobe Connect) without issue. Interestingly, while checking this, seems Skype was the only one with the feature you describe (participant receives a pop-up). None allow you enable video remotely.

@DINGLEMUSIC You don’t say if you have tried Skype. You should be able to get this on your existing phone or laptop. Setting it up for the right angle will take trial and error. I’m new to it and will learn more as I go along but so far so good.
