There have been various discussions about doing something like this for a while now (see https://community.aneros.com/forum/discussion/15076/aneros-live-video-club ). With the capabilities now mostly there, I am willing to try to organize something.
I was thinking of trying to host a Skype Group Video session this Thursday March 19th at 10:30PM EST. Currently Skype only allows up to 10 users including myself for a Group video, so all interested please comment here or send a PM.
Questions, comments, concerns, please feel free to voice them. Willing to flex date if its not enough notice.... As was discussed in previous threads, privacy is expected to be respected and maintained....
Keep an eye on this thread for updates or changes.
Perhaps you can try Zoom, it allows up to 25 participants in a meeting I believe.
Thanks for the suggestion. It is something to try in the future if demand ever calls for it.
As of this posting, interest has been almost non-existent. I realize it may be because of the short notice. There was such interest in the previous thread for something like this, so it seems a bit strange that it has gone cold now. Therefore I am postponing this until a future date. Provisionally same day/time next week, Thursday March 26th. Again though, I am open to shifting it around and would appreciate feedback.
What we do in other similar groups is to create a group on skype which people drop in and out. When a number of members are on skype, one will open a zoom session inform the members of the zoom invite id and they call into zoom.
Its more spontaneous and much easier to arrange.
Bump.
Thanks for the suggestion calmer. I don't get why zoom would be necessary unless the 10 person limit would be exceeded on Skype. Something to consider if demand ever warrants it I guess. But the group on Skype is a good idea.
Anyway, I am going to give this another try in organizing a group session. Sometime this month? Does a Thursday work for people? Flexible on time... Feedback appreciated.
I can also get a Skype group list going and maybe try the spontaneous thing 'calmer' mentioned. The group can also be a great place for members to find other members and have their own video sessions with each other, not just group. [Although that is the goal! ;-)] Post or PM me your Skype names for the list.
