imagine a PPOT Webex meeting?

haha..

I bet it would be a disaster. haha. a fun disaster.

I think the Holiday Gift exchange would be a good reason. everyone could show their gifts and shoot the S.

i'm kinda shy and I may have implied (in the past) that i'm really good looking, so i'm out.

I just hooked up a camera and mic to my low bid computer. I had no idea, my office looks like failed yard sale. ooph!

That'd probably be a hoot for Christmas.

It needs to be the right time of the day or the sun coming in my office bounces off my bald head and washes out my laptop camera. This past year of doing them has been an exercise in sitting / positioning the laptop or iPad just right.

Imagine some of the awesome backgrounds people would use.....

I would not participate in a PARF one, that would be a trainwreck.

Good idea though!

Imagine a PARF WebEx...


Now that would be something.

Actually most of them might be polite and end up having a good discussion. Seeing someone’s face and hearing their voice makes it harder to be mean... well maybe!

I'm safe. My desk top computer doesn't have a camera or mic.

You have a point. And the legendary keyboard warriors may not show up...

Pants may be optional depending upon camera angle.
Please wear a shirt. We don't need to see moobs.

Seriously though, I wonder how many of us old farts would be able to get on to the meeting.

I took out my web cam when I heard they could be easily hacked...who knows where it is now. My new monitor doesn't have a camera.

I am a lions club member... it took a few attempts but we now have even the most technologically inept old farts joining our virtual meetings... it can be done!

it would be one way to identify the jerks who respawn multiple log-ins after being banned, or utilize multiple ids due to some undiagnosed mental deficiency

You're on mute

Webcam is on, keep your hands out of your pants.

Wrong screen.

Over and over and over again

I'd be up for joining (on Webex or Zoom or whatever platform). I mostly lurk around here but do think it would be fun to put names and voices together with what I read...

Zoom over Webex. Webex does not work on my main computer.

As far as "meet ups", we had a very good one many years back in Vegas. When the COVID is over, maybe we should have a meet up.
