The chat will be online 30 minutes before the start time of each part for you to test the connection and join, and will remain online as long as there are attendees, at least two hours.

A link to each live chat session will be posted here in this thread 30 minutes before the start of each part. The TF Saturday Live Chat is a group video meeting but to participate with audio and webcam video is optional; if you so decide, you can just listen and participate with text chat.

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 you need a small browser plugin. See this Microsoft support article for instructions in joining using the Skype for Business Web App plugin: Join a Skype Meeting with Skype for Business Web App - Skype for Business

   Tip

Easy to follow illustrated instructions to join using a browser and Skype for Business Web App plugin​ in less than a minute, see this post: Solved TenForums Saturday Live Chat 03-SEP-2016 - Page 2 - Windows 10 Forums

You can of course join using Skype for Business app if you have an organisational Skype for Business 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 Skype for Business account.

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

All TF Saturday Live Chat participants can share their desktop and show whatever their want to in live session. If you have a neat Windows 10 trick, tip, workaround or anything else you would like to show to your fellow members, please send me a PM about it latest by Friday evening (July 29th) and we'll make it happen.

See you geeks on Saturday the 3^rd! Please post all your questions, ideas and such about the Live Chat in this thread.

I know, it defaulted to the time, when I createrd it. C'mon Kari, I just got home from a very hot & sweaty day/evening at work, my brain doesn't catch that stuff any more, right now

Just wanted to be sure you will be there :)

Judging by the interest @Cliff S it's just you and me online on Saturday :). Good to know there's at least one witness for the Macrium Draw!

@Kari maybe you need to make it clear, using the SfB addon or Lync app also lets them join anonymous if they wish(you know, the shy ones and the TFH(Tin Foil Hat) ones .
