RE: Bizarrely, Coronavirus has set me free!

in #beersaturday4 years ago

I felt a bit the same last weekend ... and this week has been crazy! Such a lot of organising to do: I've suddenly learned how to manage meetings by video, getting everyone onto the software - talking and not talking as appropriate - putting together a daily bulletin, sourcing technology solutions, drafting letters to the Prime Minister and getting sign up ...
Three grand - really not ahuge amount in the great scheme of things, not when set against the other costs (your life, I mean). Look forward to seeing the van take shape.

Sort:  

There is some really good looking vid conferencing software out there - I saw a great item with Mike Bushell on Breakfast this a.m. where he was doing Zumba with his mum's class via video link - 6 vid windows open, all dancing along together!

I think one needs a smart TV to really make that work at its best.

I can imagine you're busy!

The DV must be through the roof during this!

That's an idea - using a smart TV! I was really struggling - 21 women in the meeting but maximum of eight showing on the screen and the same in the attendance list and chat. I had got a handwritten list I made as people joined, so we managed, but it kind of defeats the object! I was pleased with my new earphones, though. I'd bought them the previous week, wondering if they were an extravagance, but it seems they are necessary for living in this wfh world.

Sounds like a steep learning curve!

Headphones and a Mic, essential.
