    @niallthebigdeal @XboxSupport Yep. I’m pretty sure the webcam is supposed to work since most Logitech webcams are supported. There’s just an issue with Xbox and the Twitch app, since I’ve seen people’s camera working for Skype and other apps, but not Twitch.

    @GamaBee @AirtelMlw My advice people should use VOIP calls and dump their voice calls completely. VOIP ( voice over internet protocol) includes WhatsApp voice calls, Skype, etc etc the more people know about this Airtel will come down to their knees !

    @DrGiesler @LinHumphrey Heh. You had me at ‘(although well...)’. Promise you won’t judge me. I use a Skype headset I bought in Argos in 2018. The ear foam has since perished and the cable is beginning to fray. It’s been a faithful servant (zero audio issues) but I’m due an upgrade.

    In-person meetings help foster relationships in a way that Skype or conference calls often do not.
