Still struggling with this switch to Skype conference calls. Is it better to just dial in from calendar app using dial in or to have Skype call you from the computer?

Is this post a time-traveler from the year 2014?

Kidding 🙂 the nice thing is the flexibility, our current client has some rooms with nicer speakerphones than our Jabras so we use either as we see fit.

You can copy the dial-in and if you structure it well (semicolons, etc) it serves as a ‘hyperlink’ for joining from mobile phone without typing the meeting code.

I typically join the meeting directly on the calendar 🗓 icon on the Skype desktop app within the top ribbon. On another note, when setting up Skype meetings in the outlook calendar, always ensure to click “Skype Meeting” first, so you don’t forget that part and send out an empty invite.

Following. We just recently switched to skype as well. It's not quite intuitive.

Also, should you copy the dial in into the location?

Skype is horrible and doesn’t work with our client’s firewall. My whole project team bought a Zoom license and we use that instead

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available.

Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
