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. 😂

@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 😂

@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 ...

@1LegendaryWest @SarahKSilverman 3/4 all safeguarded by the exact same or higher stds employed now when staff interact w/ residents. This is only if the facility has not made available a trained staff member who can help the residents under the proven-safe conditions & get them going on zoom, Skype, etc.

@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

@GavinGiovannoni I’ve been asking my MS nurse and neurologist this for years. It would be great to Skype or FaceTime etc, it would also help the NHS financially and MSers dragging themselves to appointments👍

@KyleCranmer Good question that I’m not sure the answer to. The only thing I’ll note is that I’ve had other applications crash without a problem from Ubuntu. Only Skype has managed to bring down the whole OS repeatedly.

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.
