@MichelleKHarper Ironically, consumer Skype is pretty good as a (albeit basic) chat service - but Skype for Business is simply unusable and grounded in legacy Exchange architecture.

- no Google hangouts as sound was not working for someone - no zoom because someone was not allowed to install that We ended up with Skype. Wow, then you realise how out-of-date it is. We couldn't find each other through search. A generated invite for the meeting did not work.

This would all be done remotely, through Zoom/Skype/Facetime, and no specific hours are necessary. The hospital is looking for a deep bench of volunteers they can call on during those moments when they need this sort of help.

I am not proud that I was not able to help with the laptop & Skype setup for this interview, his brother did that. The only thing I contributed was yelling “Find your light, though!” from the kitchen. 😂

@PatrickFreyne1 I have a theory that it's because you can't gauge people's reactions or even know if you're talking to one person or on loud speaker and secretly you're being laughed at. Many people that would never dream. Of a phone call would have no problem with zoom or Skype

@HelenFenton15 @LizDurrant19 @irisbenson100 As well as being a service user, I've also been a volunteer for 3 years. But in this difficult time stuck at home, I asked if any work I can get on with while at home, but nothing. Although I'm participating in a meeting next week (via Skype), so that's good, I need more of that.

@GayRobot_ @macolon2 @SkypeBusiness Yes, I know. They’re contract with my work is for Skype (when moved away from Teams). Regardless, they have a product that they’re still in charge of but not doing anything about it. This is one of my many issues w/ Microsoft.

@DarkoneOfDamned @WynonnaEarp The problem with zoom is that it is very hackable and has been hit numerous times over the past few months that's the main reason I suggest Skype, just a little more secure.

@bradgilmore @rodemics Gotcha. Im assuming you’re recording into the device itself on an SD card...so my recommendation would be to Bluetooth the MacBook to your rodecaster and do the skype call that way. Or use an iPhone or IPad Skype and Bluetooth it as well. There’s a few YouTube vids that may help

I’ve spent the last 45 minutes trying to help set up a Skype call between Nola and her friend from South Korea with limited English. I’m not sure Skype could be any harder to use.

@One_Dads_View I usually work from home a day a week. Even before this happened, I was thinking whether I could do two - my job involves hardly any face-to-face contact anyway as it’s mostly Skype calls. The issue is it’s against company policy - if I worked from home more, I’d have to ...

@fsphil @Stephen_Neal Very true. Apart from the noise and bandwidth problem, any fast movement would have colour fringing as it moved significantly before the next colour frame. Ok I suppose for static shots. Still better than all these Skype interviews on TV today 😂

So the optics are terrible and the opsec of using a personal cell phone or FT Zoom account unforgivable (this is what Skype numbers are literally for), but this isn’t a scandal and the reporter was definitely given the invite by employees who wanted accountability
