@sbisson Google Hangouts for work, Zoom, Skype and Messenger otherwise (depending on what the other party is able to operate - me “knowing IT” is no help to someone who just wants it to work)

I really am trying to work properly from home via Skype& the like, & attempt to be a professional Food Technologist. But my neighbours seem to be mowing, pressure washing, chain sawing, shredding, strimming, anything that isn’t bolted down!! Ahhhh! 🙈😎🙈😉#WorkingFromHomeLife

Most people aware of the tricks ISPs use to prioritize speedtest traffic on their network. SAAS providers should operate their own endpoint service that ties into a master test. A user goes to one site to perform bandwidth and latency tests to Zoom, Skype, Hangouts, VOIP, etc.

@MissElvey And to be fair, I did get interrupted this evening by a call from Montreal. We used to fix a time to Skype but now people just assume you’re available.

@WienerSperrzeit Right. But then there’s skype or what’s app which may be useful for small groups. Schools+univ. have to adapt to current situation which means some courses might be stripped down to essentials but it still means uninterrupted studies.

Microsoft sending out PR releases to say Teams doesn’t have Zoom’s security/privacy gaps. = Major catchup exercise. Zoom has trounced Teams/Skype in the last month as a popular video-conf platform. Skype fighting back, ditching the frustrating account issues it had.

@GoldenDublin @Independent_ie Good. At least we have Skype and iChat. I’m down with my parents and here for the foreseeable. I miss the music too. Hopefully we’ll get through this and back to some semblance of reality.

I have been desperately trying how to help others in our covid situation but not much I can do. What I can do is be there...If you need to talk or just need an ear, I am here. Stranger or friend doesn't matter. Zoom/Skype/FB/DM whatever

Just had a Skype quiz where we all wrote 2 sets of 10 questions. Forgot to factor in what a bad loser my mum is. I may not make out of this lock down alive considering how much she lost to me by...

I am currently thinking about how the sads are starting to kick in again because everything is terrible and im probably going to end up having my first big cry in front of my therapist on a Skype session next week. I should be sleeping and not having an existential crisis.

@Alex_More_xxx Maybe even after you go back to work. On one of your days off I could drop down some money for your rate and we could Skype over coffee or breakfast someday.

@ammienoot For me, there is a curious problem that isn’t technical. It having to focus on conversation in Skype, the board, the Twitter, and trying to speak good - oh and there’s also imaging how it all sounds to listeners. Sometimes it’s a bit 2 much 4 a fried little mind like mine
