@MarieCalais2 I’m sure they’ll start doing consults via the Internet which will be problematic anyway,not everyone has the Internet,Skype or FaceTime etc. I usually see my GP every 10 days but I’ll see what happens,I’m an easy fix than many though. Ian

@ScouseTims We can try but she is too disabled to understand how to use the interface. We’re encouraging the home to set up a large tv with camera so families can Skype residents. But that’s not going to help that much with the massive isolation she will experience.

3. Use Instant Messengers like Slack, Skype for Business, or whatever your company uses to keep in touch with team members. If you don't have these, talk to team members and decide on a free im service and use it. #WorkFromHome p

Stealing this off a colleague! Looks like we could all have some extra down time over the next few weeks or so. If anyone would like to skype to discuss all things physio / rehab etc please feel free to contact me, would be delighted to arrange!!

Early team meeting over FB video call. Not is Skype nor in Teams but FB video call 😂 My day 2 WFH. VPN seems working stable today. Hoping no issue until we’re able to get back to the office to work.

@abottleoftales Get on Teams/Skype and ask for help. Don't be afraid. You won't be looked on badly for asking for help, or for not knowing what (specifically) to ask about.

@alxctts Same, saying they’re doing everything to help as if a Skype call with a tutor is actually going to match up to the help we’d get in person. At least we’re all in the same boat (no less stressful but slightly more comforting)

@albinokid That’s would be an even worse situation. 27 Celsius is usually the line to greatly help with suppressing the spread. If that’s not happening, our diligence and adherence to social distancing now is ever more important. We’re setting up Zoom and Skype sessions to stay connected.

@TelcoDR No doubts! When there are no backhaul issues we need the centralized nodes to perform as well, and I'm with you on this one, I would love to know how the public clouds are behaving on services like Zoom, WebEx, Skype, WhatsApp, RingCentral, etc.

@Peston @jeremycorbyn Why single out Corbyn Robert. Surely others in commons, lords will be 70 or over. Why not discuss them stopping parliament & lords sitting due to gatherings over 50, or 10 or 5 people. Can't they debate using Skype working in their constituency offices to help organise locally

@MathieuFleury I believe so. It's set up by people in the area to either help check in on isolated individuals, offer small services like dog walking for people worried about being outdoors, and a place for people in need of items, help, or a check-in (phone, email, Skype) to leave their info.

In Nov. my grandfather died. I couldn't make it back to rural SW OK to attend the service. I knew that most of my family has internet at home & on their smart phones. I use Google Hangouts & Skype often, so we tried it one-on-one to have me virtually attend. It FAILED miserably

Small network issue with Skype this morning, but otherwise a pretty typical day when I choose to work from home. We did a load test on Friday to see how our VPN handles _many_ more teammates working remote. Ops made some tweaks and it's been good. 🏡

@VincentRK @BldCancerDoc Agree. Imagine if after this we could see routine second opinions and follow up visits by FaceTime or Skype and bill more reasonably. Costs would go down, patient and provider happiness increase and quality would likely improve or at least stay the same. Just need fraud checks.

@ZahraBhimani Let me know if you need any help at all. Even happy to jump on a Skype call if you'd like. Also note that Cisco Webex has made their video conferencing free and Zoom always has a free tier, but it has limited attendees.

You can’t just wait with bated breath to see if it’s going to get worse. It will, but we can slow it down by taking drastic measures now. Classes are able to be taught online, face to face teaching can be moved to Skype/Lecture Capture/Canvas. It isn’t an impossible move.

@BenThapa82 Interesting and good to know that provides a stable enough platform and audio🧐🤔 As student wants to go with Skype but have previously had audio interference issues. I’m hearing about and thinking of trying out Zoom ...
