Hello all!

Is there anyone out there that would like a hand setting up video chat for keeping in touch with family and friends? There are lots of different ways to do it so I'm sure we can sort it out! And if not me, then I've no doubt that someone here will have a solution!

    Hey @laura222 - that's a great idea. Its such a steep learning curve for everyone to suddenly move over to apps like Skype, Zoom etc. What are your preferred apps for keeping in touch? I'm now learning about Zoom!

    Hi @Abdi_Scope!

    I was an avid Skype user, but have also just been introduced to Zoom too. I helped my Mum set it up the other day since her exercise class is now being run by video chat.

    We also used WhatsApp video chat last night (which I didn't realise you could do!). And occasionally I accidentally make video calls on Google Hangouts, much to the surprise of everyone involved!

    These are all great ideas!! I've been in some group chats and it's really helped. :)

    Well it seems your getting the hang of it quickly @laura222. Vital to stay connected for some sort of normality :smile: . Hope you are well.
