Hello. I’m teaching an online meditation class through Zoom and after reading about some of it security issues am now worried that random hackers are going to join our meditation sessions! Is there a way to set a password so that I can share that with authorized attendees to prevent random people showing up?
I’m spending a lot more time on video calls, mostly through Zoom and Skype. Some people look really professional on these calls, but I always look like I’m in a dark basement! How can I look better in video chat?
I’m suddenly finding myself in a lot of Zoom meetings and it’s embarrassing that everyone can see what a messy house I have. On my last call I noticed someone was at the beach! I’m sure it’s a fake background; how can I use virtual backgrounds on my Zoom calls too?
My boss has asked me to host some public meetings through the Zoom video chat service and I’m worried. I’ve heard that on public meetings you can have people steal control and post porn for everyone to see? Yech. How can I avoid “zoombombing” and similar problems?
Is there any way to export or save text messages within Mac Skype? I don’t want to just take dozens of screen captures if possible!
I’m a big fan of Skype and use it all the time, but there are a couple of jerks who won’t leave me alone. Help!
I’m anxious that programs on my Windows 10 system are accessing my camera without me knowing. How can I find out what apps have permission to access my camera in Windows 10, and how can I disable them, as needed?
I fear that my boyfriend is checking my Skype account to see who I talk with and I’d like to have it stop. How can I change my Skype password?
