Welcome to the TenForums Saturday Live Chat!

OK fellow geeks, Ten Forums & Windows 10 enthusiasts:

Here's the invitation to the next TenForums Saturday Live Chat on Saturday 27th of June 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.

Last two times we tried to have the Live Chat spread throughout the day in three parts for better allowing members from various timezones to participate. Although the first session has not been so popular, I still think this is the most democratic system we could have. The next TenForums Saturday Live Chat will therefore have the same schedule:

   Information

The online chat will be held on Saturday 27th of June 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 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 per part. A link to each live chat session will be posted here in this thread two hours before the start of the Part 1.

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 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 27th! Please post all your questions, ideas and such about the Live Chat in this thread.
