The way we did it, was someone created the meeting and sent everyone else an invitation. With the invitation link, it was as simple and clicking on it, clicking a couple of buttons (or maybe one more button) and we were suddenly in the meeting. There are some controls on your screen that you'll possibly need to fiddle with a bit (microphone and clicking the grid so you can see everyone's picture), but it's really very easy.Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-40912715117734837432020-03-30T13:42:51.357-04:002020-03-30T13:42:51.357-04:00That is absolutely beautiful.

I know nothing about Zoom but will look into today. I am pretty much an introvert and can go for days without talking to anyone unless it's the pharmacist or the grocery store clerk. But I'm game if I can figure it out. Can I get it on my pc? I don't have a cell phone but I do have an android tablet. Love the linen stitch scarf too....I remember when you made that one too.

As for Zoom, yes, our church used it tonight to connect with whoever wanted to, and it actually wasn't too bad since my husband and I shared a screen and sat further away-- I'm not comfortable with being so close up! Our adult children and extended family have been meeting up with the app called House Party. It's fun and easy to use, with a game option (Draw Something, for example). netablogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701837355683136230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-87759612559489496512020-03-29T17:56:24.429-04:002020-03-29T17:56:24.429-04:00I know what you mean!

I will be working quietly in my craft room, or really anywhere in the house, and I will hear him talking to someone - just out of the blue. He often calls people just to chat. I can't fathom what he can find to talk about with different people (usually, several in one day), and I'm pretty sure he questions how I can tolerate so much silence. After Zooming this morning, I called one of my sisters back for a very nice chat, and then I needed to talk to someone else about an upcoming project - and now here I am, vocally spent. Feeling pretty sure I've used all my (spoken) words for the day.

And connecting this way has become even more meaningful during this pandemic. I appreciate and respect your feelings about Zoom or Face Time . Honestly, I felt that way when it was first suggested among the YOP group members, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt like I'd enjoy hearing the voices of people I've only interacted through blogs with. It will probably be a little awkward, but I'm game I've decided. :)Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-68629927960301950102020-03-29T17:40:11.356-04:002020-03-29T17:40:11.356-04:00Oh I misread! :) I hope you do meet with your YOP ...Oh I misread! :) I hope you do meet with your YOP friends.

I admit, it felt a bit awkward (just seeing my own face on the screen), but it was soooo good to see friends and hear their voices at the same time. I think it will get more comfortable with time. The YOPers haven't gotten together (yet). The idea has just been proposed. I'm just here to say it works pretty well, and could be a fun way to meet people I only know through their comments.Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-21613262002100261292020-03-29T17:34:15.074-04:002020-03-29T17:34:15.074-04:00How rude of me not to comment on how lovely the sh...How rude of me not to comment on how lovely the shawl is.

Yes I hope the Zoom meeting goes ahead. I’m also an introvert. It is weird but I’ve been feeling more need for connection with others since my husband started working from home, he is used to chatting with people at work all day and I’m used to saying nothing all day so it is taking some getting used to meeting in the middle of the two extremes.

Posting pics of current work, exploring each others project pages. I hate the phone and being live on screen, so it would stress me out to do zoom or FaceTime.<br /><br />My son and I Skype regularly, and by mutual consent never use the camera function. We message. I'm glad this awful pandemic is at least happening at a time when some of us are able to be online.Boudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641013916263271948noreply@blogger.com
