Does anyone think it would be beneficial if someone set up a Zoom meeting once per week so all we dying very old folks can meet each other before we head to Heaven?
Zoom Site??

Our family is spread out with members living in Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver, Nassau in The Bahamas, and Glasgow in Scotland. We use zoom as a way to communicate weekly at a time that works for everyone. A typical zoom meet up has 8 or 10 adults all on screen for usually a hour or more at a time. One person ( on a rotating basis ) acts as the moderator, so people are not talking over each other. It works nicely for us. JimB.

So easy, a child can do it!
Or, you can contact and wait for Medusa.

Yes, it works by following the steps shown and clicking when applicable. It’s technology, not magic. How else would you expect to interact with a computer other than mouse or keyboard clicks? It’s unfortunate that you didn’t care for the video. Maybe you can find something easier. Best of luck to you!
It's a wonderful idea. I've been waiting for Medusa to schedule one again. I met/saw/interacted with about five or six people for a half hour, and it shows the person's personality, hearing them speak, seeing them, is bringing them closer here on the forum.
I was not a fan of Skype, always felt self conscious at seeing myself while running my mouth, but once I got used to ignoring my little screen and focused on others, it was fine. Few think of ourselves as nice looking, seeing the wrinkles and grey hair, but it does bring us closer.
Unless you don't want people to see who you really are, pretending to be someone younger, then join in. It's a half hour well spent! There are those of us who focus on the beauty of the person on the inside.
Ready to try it....come on....

I recently chatted with a friend whose daughter set up one of those backgrounds for him. It was a beach with water, and palm trees....so bright it totally distracted me. I wouldn't recommend using one.

During the height of the Covid pandemic, my Wife and I used Zoom to talk to our Doctors, our lawyer, and our family. Easy as pie. JimB.,
@charry, you can participate in the zoom meeting by using only your microphone, and turning off your camera so we don't see you. If you don't want to see others, you can close your eyes!
i prefer just the one to one chats ....@charry, you can participate in the zoom meeting by using only your microphone, and turning off your camera so we don't see you. If you don't want to see others, you can close your eyes!

Yesterday I had a 2 hour "Zoom Support Group" meeting with the Western Neuropathy Association. ( pnhelp.org ) about 30 people were involved. It is a fantastic way to meet others with similar life experiences. I have had no problem with Zoom even though we are in rural territory with a Satellite for internet.
