Rokslide Virtual Pub Night?

[Billinsd]

My wife is having a Virtual Cocktail Party with her friends and having a hell of a good time!!! Maybe that would be fun here? Especially since we all live real far a part?

Sure, why not? I'll jump in,

I don't even know how that works.

I want to party with your wife and her friends Bill. Please let her know.

We have been connecting on Friday nights at 4:00P-6:00P with friends and Sunday afternoons with family via Zoom. Better than it sounds.

Kids are using some Google app for school. They enjoy it.

I don't even know how that works.

Someone sets up a zoom meeting by going to the zoom website and then sends out the link to the meeting to everyone. You then click on the link and it takes you to the meeting. It will ask if you want to use your computer microphone and you tell it yes. Make sure to enable your camera once you get to the meeting by clicking in the lower left of the screen where there is a camera icon with a slash across it or you won't be seen, only heard. It says you can only schedule for 40 minutes unless you buy an upgrade. Scheduled is the key word. In actuality the meeting can keep going until you end it. Or if people have skype you can do a skype meeting. That's easy. Just put skype on your PC, tablet or phone.

In the last few weeks, I've spent quite a bit of time in front of my computer on zoom or skype for meetings. I honestly like it. I've seen friends have family birthday dinners through skype. Whether for this or just a way to keep in touch right now, it's a pretty nice way to keep in touch with people.

We just started a Zoom Happy Hour as our typical watering hole is shut down. Gives everyone a chance to decompress with friendly faces and the brews are much cheaper.

Just don’t do that with a company account. Those links are persistent and can allow strangers into meetings they shouldn’t be in.
