#077 | Figuring it out | The world of Zoom

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this week’s episode we try and figure out…</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to date via Zoom</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to look and feel your best when you are rocking office wear above the desk and ready for bed below</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to turn the corner of your kitchen into a suitable background for your calls.</span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Charelle and Verity have been using Zoom for years - they even record every episode of Free and Figuring it Out via Zoom Video - so they thought it would be handy to chat about this new discovery for most of the population.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Have you tried to do a virtual gym class yet? Did you have a 37 minute phone call with your Mum helping her download it to your phone? Have you discovered the mute all button yet?</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We discuss the beauty of the 40 minute webinar limit and those buggers that click on the “Extend your time for free” button that pops up. It’s also very interesting people’s approach to using the platform and whether they make the same effort as they would if you would see the people on the call in person. Verity discusses her new love affair with her baby pink pashmina.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Did you know you can record Zoom? And that there is a “beauty” filter? Have you tried Zoom backgrounds?</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Charelle allows us into the world of her online, video call dates including how much makeup you wear, if you have a glass of wine by your side and how you finish the date when there is no bus to run for (spoiler, order takeaway to be delivered!). We chat whether Zoom dating will continue post-pandemic and if more international relationships will blossom because of it.<
