Contacting Me on Google+ Hangouts [VID] FA13

So, you are thinking about having a video chat with me (and fellow classmates) on Google+ Hangouts.

First, if you are not familiar with Google+ Hangouts, you may want to check out this Google promotional video about Hangouts, so you can see what it looks like. 



For specific how-to information, please see the second video below.  This very helpful video takes you through the steps of setting up a gmail account (if you don't already have one), setting up Google+ and then setting up Google Hangouts. 



Now How to Hangout?

Now that you have things up and running, now is the time to start a Hangout or join a Hangout.

A couple special notes:

• You can invite a phone participant to hang out.
• "There's an app for that"
• Did I mention that it is free, free, free. Gotta like that.

To learn more about Google+ Hangouts, see some of the helpful pages and videos on the official Google+ Hangouts site.  For more detailed help, see the relevant info on the Google Help Center.

Contacting Me on Skype [VID] FA13

So, you are thinking about having a video chat with me on Skype.

First, if you are not familiar with Skype, check out this video to get a sense of what Skype is.


(Note: This video might be a little dated, but gives us a good idea of what Skype can do.)

If you are interested, you may also want to see the Skype site for some more information and videos.

Did I mention there is a free version of the Skype service.  You can pay more for some more features, if you want, but free sounds good.

Now, let's download the Skype software on your computer.  It is free too. (There are Android and Apple apps.)

1. Download and stall the software on your Windows computer or download and install the software on your Mac computer.  Be sure to follow instructions on the screen.
2. Once you have the Skype software up and running, you'll see a contacts list on the screen.  Add me (williamhartphd) to the contacts list.
3. To make a call, click on a person in the contacts list and click on the "Call" or "Video Call" options.

To test things out, you may want to Skype me now or you could help a friend or family member get set up with Skype and Skype them.

If you need some help, please ask me or also check out Skype's Help.
