Taser Video Conferencing
Never in a million years did I ever think I would report about taser video conferencing. All I have to say is thank goodness the person at the remote end was not injured! How funny. One of the taser darts (is that right, a dart?) hit the laptop screen during a demo during a Skype…

PCMag Compares Skype and Facetime Video Conferencing
I ran across this this morning (see YouTube video). A very cool comparison by the very knowledgeable techy’s at PCMag.com showing the video call quality between Skype and Facetime.

My friend, czoli, from Vidyo posted this link on Facebook. Very cool. I have said it a million times…Videoconferencing should be anyone, anyplace, anytime, and now it is getting there! Gotta love this technology…. Traveling to a video conferencing room is counterintuitive….and becoming more so by the day.

Mirial Videoconferencing on Android
See what happens when I pick my head up and look around….the whole world changed while I was distracted with the unfortunate events that lead to my development of ForCarol.com.

Skype Video Review
Updated: 3/31/2020 during the coronavirus pandemic. Stay Safe! Social Distancing Works. It took me awhile to get to Skype. Not sure why, but, I’m glad I finally tested it. The Verdict: I will use Skype as my main videoconferencing connection in the TracyVirtualOffice (now AltamontCowork). I still have the Polycom PVX as the standards-based H.323…
