Video call/conference-Social distancing, work from home, shelter in place
So now that many areas have shelter in place orders, restaurant’s closed and many more people are working from home, what video calling app(s) are you using?
Are you meeting one-to-one, or in groups? Business use or personal usage? Here's a overview of some apps available... FaceTime --Apple Requires iOS 10.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. cross-platform, and the users make over millions of video calls per day across the world on Android, iOS, and Windows devices. The calling feature is straightforward and has minimal hurdles for users, just open the contact you want and tap on the video call button. The voice and video call options only appear inside one-on-one conversations, but the video calling works quite well Hangouts Google Hangouts is an easy-to-use cross-platform application that can be used for free video chat on Android devices. It is connected to your Google ID so that you can quickly connect with your email friends and Google contacts. Duo Google Duo is a video and audio calling app made by Google, similar to Apple's FaceTime, Facebook's WhatsApp or Messenger and Microsoft's Skype. Duo is free to use and works across both iOS and Android devices - unlike Apple's FaceTime. The app has recently upped its group calling limit to 12, so you can chat with all your family and friends.

If you have a business or organization with its own domain name and you want to utilize video conferencing with your own private, encrypted, and secure video conferencing server that can handle 2-50 attendees and would be branded with your firms own domain name, send me a PM and I'll send you a link with info which includes a free demo site.

AT Conference. Not AT & T but AT. The person setting up the call gets the main code/all other callers get a PIN code. I believe it is 7.5 cents per caller per minute.
