I, too, must admit to liking Skype less and less. I use FaceTime quite a lot when speaking with other Apple users and WhatsApp when talking to anyone else. Another app that I use on a weekly basis is Appear.in . It allows you to do screensharing and up to eight people at a time can be in a priv

Paul, I do experience this on occasion. Sometimes interacting helps. I've also found that sometimes exiting and reopening the message helps. Kind of a pain, I know, but it usually works. Cheers, Donna > On Oct 29, 2017, at 8:34 AM, Paul Hopewell wrote: > > Hello, > I am running IOS 11.0.3

Hi Kawal, I feel your pain. I have to use Skype for Business at my day job, too, and I don't like it either. I swear Microsoft just ruins everything they touch. The problem with Face time is that it only works with other apple products. I use Skype in my coaching business. So I need a solut

Zoom is the up-and-coming teleconferencing app. It works on iPhone, Android, Windows, and Mac. It is rather accessible with developers who keep accessibility in mind during development and updates. Several organisations that I communicate or work with use Zoom. I encourage organisations which do
