Chapter 10 Q&A for When You're in Trouble
Question 01 I can't hear the other person!
Question 02 The video isn't displaying!
Question 03 Screen sharing isn't working well!
Question 04 I forgot my account password!
Question 05 I received a contact request from a stranger!
Question 06 I want to prevent myself from appearing in Skype searches!
Question 07 I want to operate Skype quickly!
Question 08 How should I distinguish between using Skype and Teams?
From LINE to YouTube, Twitter (now X), and even the note I'm typing on right now, there are truly so many services that utilize IT.
Because they appear one after another, I'm a person of the old generation who can't keep up and hasn't learned them.
I think it's a good thing that life is becoming more convenient like this, but if using them becomes a prerequisite, then if you can't use them, you can't live your life.
I use LINE for inquiries, reservations, and online consultations at my cat's animal hospital, but I'm not good at LINE... If it's an acquaintance, I don't know how far to keep the conversation going before ending it, I worry about what kind of pictures/stickers to use, I worry about what to do if I can't reply immediately, and I get depressed when I'm left on read...
What's more troublesome is what I use for work.
At the workplace where I started working a little while ago, we use Slack and Skype. Or rather, I'm made to use them. Even though I don't want to...
Regarding Slack, I was in a state of "what is that?", so I tried reading a book about it.
Regarding Skype, I used it when I was taking voice training privately before. I was careless, thinking it would be fine since it's something I've used and know...
At my workplace,
Slack is used for slow communication with the whole company or people in other departments,
Skype is used as a substitute for chat to communicate immediately within the department,
and they are used differently.
Skype can chat?
I didn't know... I thought it was only for video calls...
It made a chirping sound when notifications came, and when I asked how to turn it off, I was told to "Google it," so I bought this book.
So that was called a mention... I have shared files...
It seems you can also have meetings, raise your hand in meetings, record meetings, and block people.
I intend to read it while using it and become able to master it a little more.
