How to work or contact people via video call in an agile and safe way? He explains it to you FIRST Tutorials, the FIRSTonline site dedicated to "tips": this time Enrico Maria Ferrari offers you one that doesn't hurt these days, the one on the best apps for video calls in quarantine (but not only).
According to our tutorial, the best combination to have the best possible videoconference is to use a PC that is not old, therefore with a fast processor, and be connected with a minimum bandwidth of 20 MB in download using a fast Wifi or a LAN. “During a video call – adds the article – it is good to adopt a sort of code of good manners, with particular care especially in professional or school chats. First of all, when one of the conference participants speaks, it is good practice for all the others connected to at least temporarily deactivate their microphone. In this way, background noises, or perhaps some inopportune phrases, are prevented from causing great confusion”.
As for apps and programs, some are well-known such as WhatsApp (which recently announced the expansion of the video call group up to 8 people), Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Skype, but there are also Google Suite, Instagram, House Party and Facebook also launched Rooms a few days ago.
