Men doing network interviews via Skype at home, let your wife fix the camera angle. I guarantee they'll be no nostril shots if a woman is in charge.

@ProfTomCotter Looking forward to seeing how this unfolds. There is no doubt notes would be used for online exams. I wonder if oral exams via Skype are the way forward. But still does not solve connectivity issues

@MeggBugg88 Yes. I have Skype on my phone and Mac but the particular projects I’m completing right now I have to do on my ASUS because the program only runs on Windows. I told my boss the situation today, straight up, so I don’t anticipate any future issues! 😅😅😅

@JulesPolonetsky This is a feature of a range of apps for eons(Webex, Adobe Connect) without issue. Interestingly, while checking this, seems Skype was the only one with the feature you describe (participant receives a pop-up). None allow you enable video remotely.

@MikeCarlton01 Who cares who we havent heard! If you see people dying around the world and lucky to say goodbye on messenger or skype...and the virus is passed through contact, we need a total shut down except for utilities, food and medicines to survive

@AltitudeChaz Right now I’m planning out a charity Skype show drive to raise money for all my friends who need some help & don’t have work rn! But like, I’ve also donated a higher percentage of my personal net worth than Jeff Bezos has so far, so I think capitalism might be like, broken.

@JohnnyMercerUK Absolutely right Johnny. I was hoping to go to stay with friends to help with home schooling of their three 3 kids but that would be irresponsible so I will help via Skype and by recommending educational programmes on bbc and sending good books via Amazon.

Some of y’all have never been in a long distance relationship and are just discovering the joys of FaceTime. Welcome. It’s been terrible for at least the last 5 years to my knowledge (Skype isn’t any better). Your convos will take twice as long, but you’ve got the time now.

@waubonsee Skype is a virus and a terribly unorganized chat room compared to a discord server FYI. Both are free and one offers utility that can easily be taught quickly and the other one slows down every computer 🔥

Just had an hour long Skype chat with my Mum for the first time (she's terrible with technology) and she said she wants to learn how to send me memes using it - there are still good things happening
