Skype: It’s personal. How Skype has helped TechSoup Global connect with people across the world Glenn Fajardo, International Partnership and Program Development TechSoup Global
What can we do with Skype? Since (at least) 2007, TechSoup has tried some wacky things.
Can I tell you how much I love Skype Group Video now?!
TechSoup GLOBAL Not only staff in San Francisco, Warsaw, and London offices… …but also NGO Partners we work with in 50+ countries
The Americas
Africa
Asia Pacific
Europe
Partners are people. People value personal.
Skype has helped TechSoup Global make and maintain personal connections around the world.
It’s easy. It’s used everywhere.
Three quick random tips…
1. If you don’t already use Skype video regularly… Push yourself to try using Skype video on a regular basis.
2. To get better sound… Use earphones with a microphone, such as the ones you use with your mobile phone. When doing this, make sure “Jack Mic” is selected in: Tools | Options | Audio Settings | Microphone
3. To maintain sanity… Set a shared expectation of being on “mute” when you’re not talking.
