does one logon to this via skype or is something else needed --not afraid to show my ugly mug - will be very interested in looking at how to create decent tutorials. My time is BST - 1 hour or CET - 2 hours so no probs.

TF Live Webchats are Skype for Business audio / video meetings, only requiring Skype for Business from meeting organizer but not from other participants. These webcasts / online meetings do not require any Ten Forums, email, Skype, Skype for Business or other accounts.

You simply click the link posted in this thread half an hour before the webcast starts, accept the install of a very small plugin, enter your preferred username for that meeting, and that's it.

Although meetings allow both audio and video / webcam, if you choose you can only watch and listen. Text chat is also available for those who want to take part in discussion but do not want to use microphone / webcam, or are not able to participate with audio and video.

Thanks, Kari. I hope it turns out as simple as you've described, but we all know it's not that simple for me and my silly computer.

Hi there

Names ???

I thought Milton was part of a hideous town around 95 km from London which has nothing but about a zillion "traffic circles" --roundabouts I think in UK are called and loads of terrible high rise bits of 1960's Soviet style brutalist architecture. What's "Fancy" or Posh about that.

The Brits absolutely love their wretched "roundabouts"

Sure this must be one of the world's biggest -- Magic Roundabout (yes it's really called that!!) in Swindon UK



enjoy - and to any Brits how do you actually get round this thing and exit at the other end without going round in endless circles. !!


I did like the poet Milton.

John Milton - Wikipedia

cheers

I have driven over it many times. It is NOT called Magic Roundabout - that is urban myth. The reason it got that knickname is because it works but nobody knows why!

Roundabouts are far more efficient than traffic light controlled junctions!

There was one historical exception. In France roundabouts used to have an insane priority rule whereby a driver on the roundabout had to give way to traffic joining the roundabout!

They eventually switched over to traffic on roundabout having priority but it took quite a few years. What was worse, once outside main towns, you just had to know - talk about Russian Roulette!

It really works well, but I recommend users join 15 mins or so early to check everything is working and engage in highbrow (aka pure nonsensical :-D) chit chat.

Also, do not forget to check in privacy section to ensure microphone is set to be used by apps (many have been caught out by this in 1803)

How well I know to do that!

Thanks, Cereberus.

So, now we need to make a tutorial on "Getting Ready for Kari's Webcasts"!

Then we need a tutorial to use the Tutorial Section - lol

Joking aside, it is so big now, it is hard to find the wood for the trees now but I cannot think of anyway of simplifying that less we can have a voice activated Brinktana interface but then it would get complicated as we would need a Wyntana interface for US users and a Karitana interface for EU users etc.

I already need a tutorial for the Tutorial Section! I have to really hunt to find what I need. The upside, though, is that when I find what I need, it's great.

You can download the TF tutorial index and open it in Excel to have more advanced search options. I do it once a week (index will change almost daily).

Open the tutorial index: Windows 10 Tutorial Index | Windows 10 Tutorials

Click Download on bottom of the Index page.



This opens the index in browser on Google Docs.

Now you have the index in Excel and can use its advanced search features:
