Question on: Skype
How do I use Skype features?
How do I use Skype features?
Beyond corporate use, it provides a secure environment for personal video meetings and efficient sharing of important information through its integrated chat features, ensuring effective collaboration across various spheres
I use Skype extensively for both personal and business purposes. Moreover, text messaging, voicemail, and screen sharing can also be done through SMS if necessary.
Just download the software from microsoft site or visit to web.skype.com, singup for an account with your email and you'r all setup.
You just need to download the app either in Windows or a mobile device and mostly the initial wizard/setup will guide you
Easy interface
It is very simple and user friendly app.
Like audio and video HD calling, smart messaging, screen sharing, call phones, and call recording and many more.
So there are very simple way and features is very easy to understand.
It's very easy to use. For a beginner, just google it, you'd see many pages demonstrating on it.
Well to use any applications features, first its needed to install and create account and sign in to it. For skype you need to do same thing but as soon as yoh sign in you will need contacts to call, messages, chats, audio or video call you can do by choosing any contact.
So it's that easy to use those features.
we have now shifted to teams.
I use Skype extensively both for Business as well as personal purposes.
Very Easily

Question on: JoinU
In case of Digital Signage, will be able to use custom options?
We have seen editable slideshows and displays becoming spaces for ads, however will be able to introduce editable corporate advertisements now
Hello Dear,
In the case of Digital Signage, this is an additional functionality, this is not the main benefit of JoinU software. The Digital Signage functionality is now implemented in the basic version, i.e. the user can upload pictures of different formats, set the order-sequence and duration of playback of these pictures.
If you are interested in a more functional solution specifically for Digital Signage, then we have another separate software in our portfolio, a multifunctional professional solution with many features and settings.
Thank you.
Yes, JoinU provides significant flexibility for custom digital signage, allowing you to move beyond basic presets to tailor the display to specific branding or data needs.
Best meting on this app ...experience is very good
Yes, JoinU provides customization options for Digital Signage depending on the setup and requirements. Users can usually customize layouts, display content, branding elements, and presentation formats to better match business needs. This flexibility helps create a more personalized and professional communication experience.

Question on: Zoom Workplace
any security issues about data privacy?
is my data safe?
We have been using Zoom for a year, we had no issues with security.
I've used Zoom for 5+ years. Meetings with numerous types of companies all of whom consider data privacy and security as paramount - healthcare, financial services and cybersecurity. I've researched this and Zoom is safe.
Zoom has had, and does have, security issues.
See:
* https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2020/06/05/zooms-security-nightmare-just-got-worse-but-heres-the-reality/#485ba9e52131
* https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/1/21202584/zoom-security-privacy-issues-video-conferencing-software-coronavirus-demand-response
In these articles, they detail the "zoombombing" that could occur before more security measures were put in place. Additionally, some information was being forwarded to Facebook at one point (not in current versions).
Zoom also took a hit for saying they used E2E (end-to-end) encryption which they (and their competitors do not do).
However, for general use Zoom is now as secure as we can expect without losing major functionality.
Nope, it is so smooth and as per me I never faced any issue
I would highly recommend using passwords carefully (which is now the default). There was a slew of incidents where people would join meetings that weren't utilizing the proper credentials and they caused a lot of problems.
You should check HIPAA requirements if you plan to use this in a medical setting as I believe you could run into issues there.
I would highly recommend familiarizing yourself with the different settings such as whether or not users can share screen, who can use video and do users join automatically or only with host permission.
For general business use, your email address is probably the biggest vulnerability as far as zoom is concerned. If somebody has access to your calendar, they could potentially join a meeting as you if you don't alter the meeting invitation so that the one click link isn't available.
I haven't had any issues. However it is necessary to have new logins and pws for each session - apart from repetitive sessions for the same group.
Also I recommend look in detail at the settings and choose those which are most appropriate to your actvities. You don't need to repeat it everytime, but for the first use it is worthwhile spending some time making the right choices.
ALSO: MAKE SURE YOUR SOFTWARE VERSION OF ZOOM IS UPDATED. After the campaign some competitors have probably launched signalling security issues, Zoom has mad a series of adaptations.
I have no issues at all with Zoom re data privacy - been using it very extensively over the course of the pandemic, and all good for me and those I communicate with.
I have never experienced any security issue using zoom. It is reliable and safe.
Zoom have done a lot of work in this area in the last few months and are now probably as safe as anyone else. Anyone who says otherwise - particularly competitors - is likely to be quoting old information. I use Zoom frequently and have never had, or heard of anyone who has had, any issues - certainly none since the upgrade to version 5. As always, you need to keep your version current as a precaution.
Without sounding too conspiracy theorist, I believe Zoom was doing too well at the height of COVID and competition decided to use misinformation to scare the masses. I’ve yet to encounter an issue and I’m on it several hours a day. We like it over its competitors and will continue to use it for the foreseeable future.
There were some issues. But they were solved completely
I use Zoom mainly for teaching. And the kids know each other in F2F class. And what I share mostly are learning materials. So there isn’t a question about data privacy.
While using it during our last quarter last school year, I encountered no issues. I do not use it this year except to join my church sessions.
yep its fine
I haven't had any issues
