It may sound a bit too old-fashioned, but you even can do the group calls there. It used to be for free. I am not sure if it is still now, but as far as I remember it is. 4 The connection is always perfect, but sometimes sound could have been better. You know, when the sound comes later than the picture? But I still like the design and it is easy to use. I would recommend this channel to communicate with, I am not sure if anybody even knows it exists! hah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-video-chat-if-youothers-dont-have-ithings#post-2755581 Thu, 06 Jul 2017 09:48:27 +0000 Mamaof2 2755581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: we are going to try again tonight - I will let her know - thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-video-chat-if-youothers-dont-have-ithings#post-2755580 Thu, 06 Jul 2017 09:43:17 +0000 kiddosc 2755580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: She has to accept the call as a video call I think.
