Skype with a video camera for online exams?

I have not tried Skype but I have used Snapchat and WhatsApp

I have used Skype and Snapchat but never WhatsApp is it any good?

@Igotamullet20 Whattsapp is pretty good yeah

@caresabouthealth what is it exactly? Is it more like Snapchat or Skype?

@Igotamullet20 not exactly, but you can video call, sms, but it connects to your contacts...some of the numbers could be different from the actual phone I'll text you how it looks like. Look it up on the app store😃

If you want security than Signal is the way to go.

I've used kik, it's always pretty good. Anyone else tried kik?

Sort of makes me wonder if the TOS changes are a response to SESTA. Seems to me the wrong way from a liability standpoint, where if they did not have access to the calls then they would not be liable for them, but I'm not a corporate lawyer.

I have used Skype for enema sessions, both giving and receiving. As we klismaphiles are geographically dispersed, real-time play can be a challenge, so Skype is "the next best thing to being there." I have also done a group skype enema session, and know other members who have done this.

The chat/text feature is also great. You can see who is on-line and chat with buddies.

I have definitely played with Skype and prior to that yahoo messenger. With the right partner it can be fun.

It still surprises me. I figured MS was more live-and-let-live. I would have expected this first from Apple, worried that it might harm their "image".

Skype, with its group chat/vid features is great. Does anyone else have other suggestions?

Don't forget the mobile phone app "What'sapp" you can text, voice calls and also video calls, you can also record videos and send those too. Its very easy to use its a free global service, quick and easy should an opportunity arise when your laptop or webcam is not immediately to hand.

Skype will be one of the few "messengers" left on a PC, since Yahoo is disabling its messenger in July this year. Google Hangouts can be an alternative with less functions though

I have used skype for online exams - works well in my opinion

I use Skype for online exams.....Many other things too, but it's pretty good app for exams....I have a cople miced up stethoscopes as well, so always nice the "Dr." on the other end can actually hear my racing heart....

I have used skype for exams before, works well I think

Although I much prefer face to face in person exams, I have played doctor and patient via Skype. There are limitations of course and the examination can't be more than a visual observation of the patient. That being said there can be some merit but there needs to be a good connection and picture and sound quality to make the experience satisfactory.

Skype is the best way for both text and webcam connections, has a very good option, when someone record or try to record other webcam during the chat or take a screenshot, skype notice it to the other part.

Its a good option, example i dont want any record or publish so skype maybe a bit more secured.

I have Skype I like the idea of meet people in video chat group or 1 on 1

I think Skype is the best for online exams.

I've used Skype extensively. Its convenient as most have access to it (but not the best).

It has the advantage of being able to progress from audio to web cam easily if agreed and It is more secure than previously as it now has a 'private messaging' function. There can be issues depending on the device and camera/audio setup. I just wish it didn't seemed to be aimed at the under 12's with its emojis and unicorns!

Skype is nowhere near as private and secure as most people believe.

Check out more secure and private alternatives, like Jami.

I have been using Skype for a long time now.

It works very well for cam examinations. And since it can be downloaded on several devices, it has a great advantage.

It's even possible to use multiple devices/cams so the patients face can be on cam and the area of examination on another cam.

Love to Skype,

Please refer to profile page for details.

Anyone using Zoom? I use it regularly for chatting, but have not used it for anything fetish-wise. Looks to work as well as Skype.

Was that aimed at me DrZ? I wasn't posting a personal ad, just asking if anyone used Zoom as apposed to Skype.

@LordJim2 - No, it wasn't aimed at you. Actual personal ads were posted again, which have now been removed.

I like Skype the best. I've been the patient a couple times. I enjoy it. I'd also like to be the doctor.
