If you’re wondering why the younger, lower-paid colleagues you’ve treated like shit for years don’t seem to be responding to your demands for help on how to use Skype, it really isn’t because “the servers are busy”.

@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

Steeling 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!!

Trying to think of things us young, currently healthy lot can do... - Let neighbours know we are *currently* able to do a shop - Buy double of everything & give to a food bank - Download Skype for elderly relatives/ write to them - Contact local care homes & ask how we can help

I’ve used zoom a couple of times. Ow and still don’t understand which problems it solves that Skype or Google Hangouts or Slack don’t already solve better.

@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.

This👇👇- @PlayStationUK has built in chat as does @xboxuk every office gets one and home and problem solved. Let’s be honest skype- zoom- wigwam- doc-sack- flimflam have nothing on these dedicated systems.

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

@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.

Our institution is moving online. - a week ago, website went down, no explanation; - Moodle is still a mystery to most professors; - We have till now used, exclusively apparently, polycom; - I had to intervene at the last two phd defenses I was at to allow remotes to Skype in.

@peterleone @martysg Spoke to my cousin in Italy this morning on the Skype, they have bigger infrastructure and pre existing health issues in the country and a bigger elderly population but people are scared there.

@vishalseth @onedrive Office 365. All office products updated regularly with 24/7 chat support+ 1 Tb which believe me it’s a lot + Skype minutes. DP, considering the pricing is like a good neighbor who stopped to be willing to help 🤣

@rufusgifford The wise thing to do would be to stay home and use skype or teams. We are on lock down, so no meetings.

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

@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.

@econwonk @HorwitzGabe I agree. People have social needs that don’t get met when they are isolated. Facetime, Skype, etc.. can help but they cannot fully replace face to face.
