Well, I'm a teacher, and after all the online teaching I've done, I'm practically an expert at Zoom. Also, I can talk to all three of my daughters at the same time on Zoom. So I like it. :wave:

is zoom better than Skype?

Not yet. But to be fair, I hate talking on the phone. At some point I would think about participating in a Zoom call with forum posters (when I actually know some). laugh


Zoom? I remember a Zoom meeting from work. One of my cats first held her backside into the camera, then had a really noisy argument with her son
laugh :cat: laugh

Yeah, it seems easy enough to handle. But I think, you have to pay for it?

I'm not sure now. When I started teaching online, all these platforms were letting teachers have free accounts to support us during online learning. That passed, of course, and now we have to pay. But I thought Zoom has a basic version that's free and then if you want to upgrade you pay. It used to be like that, anyway. I have a teacher account, so my school pays for it. But only the person hosting the meeting needs a Zoom account. Anyone who joins my meeting does not need an account. They just click on the link I give them and join.

In my opinion it's way better. I can share my screen with the other person, I can annotate my screen, you can have breakout rooms, there's a chat box that people can type in while someone else is talking, and there are lots of other features.

When I Zoom with my daughters, I can share my screen and we can play Jackbox games together. Or, most recently, I was buying flights for my daughter and me, and I was able to share my screen and show her which flights were available. Also, you can have lots of people on Zoom at once (not sure if Skype is able to do that).

maybe just download the textfree app amd give out that number n take the chance to meet maybe someone really important in your life instead of automatically assuming there some creep maybe God is just making it easy for you to connect with someone since your obviously having such a hard time meeting someone since your on the dating app? and stop judging everyone so negatively without even knowing them. im so tired of seeing ppl assume someone is creepy from jump instead of assuming wow this person is brave or bold or outgoing since you don't know them. like really creepy ? for giving u a phone number? for all u know it might not even be his number oe maybe the person is suicidal and needs to talk to someone. anyone who assumes creep right away needs to sit back and re-evaluate life for a second. sheesh put yourself in the persons shoes before you try to judge or label them

Rather than Zoom or Skype, which are both mentioned above, I use Discord, it's free and doesn't require personal info.

There is no possible way I'll use my own number for the nonstop requests I get, my number, as with anyone's, can be searched for personal info.

645 836 1411 Are the correct digits.

Might not be the right order, though. I can never remember...

I use a google voice number, and only use it for texting. If they call the number it goes to the voicemail and emailed to the associated gmail account.

Yeah...I give out not only my phone number, but my social security, bank account, credit card, and any other number I'm asked.

Many times with a text message there can be and usually is miscommunication. It's hard to read emotions via text messages. According to science, if you want to feel more connected to the people you're talking to, you should call them instead of texting. A phone call or video chat, created stronger social bonds than communication through typing, like text messaging or email.

That is reasonable.
