Staying Connected During the Holidays
3 couple of weeks so there's a great psychologists mascolo who has these- the need for love and belonging and that's what's with thanksgiving is about it's about being with family.
Well carter if we physically can't be there with our family there are some ways to do it and i'd like to talk about those today in the first one is the first one is face time.
In actually i can't come in the studio right now because the pandemic either so our our our weekly tech talks have been on face time and that's what we're using now so face time is an easy app.
That comes with the apple iphone as well as the ipad.
Or or any apple product and you can have up to thirty two- simultaneous people on a call at one time and corner that's that's probably too many okay so.
You in fact you may not want to put thirty two people in your family.
Together.
That that there's just too many people so if you don't have an apple product and someone has an android product.
For you your computer getting apple to android i would recommend google duo.
And google do- do- means to people getting together- acting or singing- and they also allow thirty two people.
In an interesting thing is we have a group of friends that get together from college even today one sunday afternoon so we use google duo.
So because it doesn't.
Matter the platform that these people are using.
Program explain this.
Facebook portal.
Is a is a product that you can buy on amazon or walmart .com- best buy.
It it's actually a screen.
That sits in a room.
In and they range in price.
From one twenty five to one fifty there's facebook.
Portal portal many- there's portal plus imported tv portal tv is a camera that that's when you tv.
And what this allows you to do.
Is it allows you to communicate with someone else that has space but either on their phone iphone or android or if they have that same portal so it's a screen it's kind of like a little.
Ipad but exposure around the room so if you have children.
They can actually walk up to impress.
