These are the hardware-independent free apps that I know of for video chats, they all will run on any phone, any tablet, any computer. Today I reminded myself what I knew about them because I wanted to be one of the Cool Kids and learn how to use Houseparty.
Houseparty makes money if you play their games, although there are plenty of free games too, and they have vowed not to sell your personal data. I just played one game with Lilly and her friends and it was good fun.
If you want to give it a try, make an account and I’ll ‘party’ with you!
Primary uses I hear about these days:
Business and legacy…Skype
School…Zoom
One-on-one visit…Hangouts
Travelling abroad…WhatsApp
Easy video to save and share…Duo
FUN…Houseparty
Oh yeah, snapchat and facebook have video chats. There are no doubt a dozen more!
Cynthia’s company is using Highfive and Darryl’s company is using Chime, just as an example, so there are plenty of ’em out there.
