Welcome to the TenForums Saturday Live Chat!

Fellow geeks, Ten Forums & Windows 10 enthusiasts:

This is an open invitation to the next TenForums Saturday Live Chat on Saturday 17th of October 2015.

The TenForums.com is truly a global community with members from allover the world. This makes it of course a bit difficult to find a time which would suit as many members as possible. It can't be a working day, Sunday is also not too good for some it would be too late in the evening on the work day's eve. Basically, Saturday is the safest bet. Even it still leaves the issue about the time, to find a time of the day when as many members as possible could at least shortly pop in to meet fellow members and chat.

Due the above mentioned, the next TenForums Saturday Live Chat will therefore be held in three parts according to the following schedule:

   Information

The online chat will be held on Saturday 17th of October in three parts. Part 1 should allow the members from Asia and Oceania to participate, Part 2 should be OK for the European members and the Part 3 for our American members. You can of course participate in all three sessions and select multiple answers in the poll above if you so wish, it's just that spreading the chat throughout the day like this, the more members have a realistic possibility to be there.

The TF Live Chat will be recorded, recordings of all three parts will be posted in this thread Sunday 18th of August.

The chat will be online 30 minutes before the start time of each part for you to test the connection, and will remain online as long as there are attendees, at least two hours for parts 2 & 3 and one hour for part 1 (part 1 has not been as popular as parts 2 & 3 and will end sooner if no participants). A link to each live chat session will be posted here in this thread 30 minutes before the start of each part.

See this tutorial for instructions in joining the live chat using the Lync Windows App as a guest if joining from Windows 8 or later: Lync App - Join an Online Meeting as Guest - Windows 10 Forums

If you will join using Windows 7 or older or any other OS or do not want to install the Lync App, see this Microsoft support article for instructions in joining using the Skype for Business Web App: Join a Skype Meeting with Skype for Business Web App

Notice that whichever of the two above mentioned apps you use to join the chat, you will not need any Skype, Skype for Business, email or MS Account. Simply select a screen name for you and join. It would be nice if everyone would use their forums username :).

You can of course join using the Lync or Skype for Business desktop apps if you have an organisational Lync Account. Please remember that in that case your personal information will be available for and seen by all participants. I recommend to at least disable your contact card showing the phone numbers. As far as I know there's no way to disable showing your account name, avatar and email address when joining with your Lync account.

See you geeks on Saturday the 17th! Please post all your questions, ideas and such about the Live Chat in this thread.

   Note

Please, if you read this post, be active enough to answer the poll!

Yesssssss! Can't wait!

Laith! Maybe Tey Tey will join us too!

BTW: we don't have a "scale icon at the upper right corner" LOL We have a "thumbs up in the lower-left corner".

Guys, what's the matter? Only 111 views and 10 members answered the poll? Are you shy?

I think we have to start an advertising campaign!

Or at least remind members that "I'm not interested" is as valid an answer in the poll than any other.
