You make a video to a specific person or group       that you creaete (so for example I have a group called "Family," but also       have individuals (including those within my family group) where we have more       private conversations. The Ap notifies the person they have a video. When       they have time and look presentable, they can watch the video and reply by       simply clicking record, speaking, then hitting send. You can also upload       videos from your camera roll. I made a video to walk my family through Busy       Kid, an allowance ap for kids, and uploaded that to the Family group so they       could see how it works, as they were interested. So it's like TEXTING, but       with video. The great thing about it are two fold: 1. you don't have to       schedule a time for a facetime party or zoom call 2. its 100% free. It's a       very fun platform and very easy to use.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A45 2020/02/18 (Windows/32)        * Origin: The Underground BBS (1:227/702)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 601 123/131 226/16 30 227/114 702 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 452 664 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200       PATH: 227/702 229/426           |
