Quick Tip – Sure we are used to talking on the phone, but video conferencing is exploding now for obvious reasons. There is no doubt that isolated people can benefit from seeing another on a video conference as they talk. Zoom (https://zoom.us/) has emerged as the most popular solution. This is primarily because it is easy-to-use, and the free version is very useful. One difference with the free version is conferences are limited to 40 minutes. Zoom Pro is $14.99 per month.
