@ignitionCountry NY is shut down except for essential businesses. I have to do my music by Skype. And my day job is on limited access as we are essential but need social distancing.

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. 😂

@discord I'm having an issue on my @Google pixel 3 voice channel not letting me use an external microphone. Not a hardware issue. Works fine for zoom calls, phone calls, and Skype. Discord app picks up no signal.

@ICESTONE14 Yes- maybe their Skype was broken and the ‘planned’ visit was essential to say hello... 😷

@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.

- 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 Wow, then you realise how out-of-date it is.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.

@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👍

I spent over an hour on skype with my mom so she can help me make homemade mashed potatoes for dinner. I really didn’t need help I just miss her and want her to feel important. 💕

@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.

You thought your phone was bad with out internet service. I'm trying to work on Corp laptop with no VPN. Can see the hard drive but that's about it. ERwin license inoperative, no Skype or Teams mtgs, no DB access. One doesn't miss email so much, tho. ;)

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.

@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
