    followed through properly. I am, and always have been, unenthusiastic about comms platforms that don't meet those criteria, like Facebook Messenger, Skype, WhatsApp, etc.. The biggest down-side I've seen is that you have to use your phone number as your identity (though this

    @BrianSullivan As I said, it's a feature problem. Zoom could do it. In fact, they already do it for some business and enterprise customers. But they have turn off that feature and currently only supports 720p. Skype is doing it right now. I had a Skype meeting earlier today and that was full-HD

    So in order to clear up a conflict, I uninstalled Skype to reinstall it. I installed the preview version, but every time I try I get an internal server error, which is about as helpful as "Something went wrong".

  • baekdal Thomas Baekdal (@baekdal) reported

    @BrianSullivan It's not a bandwidth cost problem. And Zencastr + other apps can do it already. Even Skype can send and record HD video

    @AmyAThatcher Not everyone knows how to use zoom and Skype and will more then likely be blocked anyway. The tv and phones will be going down shortly. My phone is already being attacked today. Any more dumb comments???

    @havocCcmusic yeah I know! It's one of the top choices too and I bet nobody ever clicked on it. I mean, what even happens if you click it? Does it open Skype? Is it a Skype sharing service? Does it call your mom and send the file and you go noooooo

    @dorisandfred My Dad is in Thailand which is hard, we haven't seen him for almost two years now. He hopes to come here but I don't know that he will be able to this year. He does to Skype at least. It's hard when tech is an issue, I know!

    @lolagir98431593 @CJ_isnowblue Can't they do it by Skype or whatever? Seriously up or down votes and a recording secretary can accomplish this.

  • HestVet THest (@HestVet) reported

    @GoldStarMom @votevets Phone, email, video chat, web-x, Skype, letter, smoke signals... Not Twitter's or our problem. If you can't follow the rules you get kicked out of school. Should have learned that lesson a long time ago.
