Brilliant and thorough summary in the OP.
Definitely this!
The other day I was in a zoom lecture (participation from the group not required) and one person was using her phone, but clearly she had it face up in her lap with her hands on top of it. So throughout the meeting we watched her playing with, picking at, and cleaning her fingernails.
I read this and am responding during a Zoom meeting.
Well done Sir! … Which gives me a silly idea …
Maybe a Doper with an Zoom account could create a Zoom meeting at some future convenient hour. Then we all could join that meeting. Then we take turns showing each other our screens of the Dope while we’re posting to this thread about how we use and misuse Zoom.
It’d be very “meta” as the avant garde artistes used to say.
Maybe the Doper who suggests it should get a Zoom account and set it up. I’m game.
Maybe with rolling time Zones so Eastern Coastal scum aren’t kept up too late for Midwestern or west coast participants. Again, pants optional.
Heh. When the writer’s club started Zoom meetings, one person complained that she was having trouble seeing anything or being heard.
She had a desktop.
I helped a 91 year old get started on Zoom just today.
Please explain this…
How did she complain? On the phone? In person?
What do you mean “She had a desktop”?
Probably meaning an old-fashioned desktop PC. One lacking a camera, a microphone, and maybe even speakers.
