Our First Meeting

I am very sorry that many of you could not connect, but I was riddled with technical difficulties. I did not know that to call a group it has to be individuals apart of your “Friends” list, I assumed I could just get your number and call. Then after we finally got through we connected to a group of people that seem to be having an intoxicated party. It was definitely not they way I wanted it to turn out. So for those of you I could not connect with I apologize.

In hindsight Skype was not the best option. We need to either do it by phone or another way entirely. Skype has to many restrictions. If someone has a different option let me know

It was very interesting to hear some of your ideas and points. Many of you opened my eyes to some really good ideas, and a better understanding of how we could be perceived.

We will summarize the meeting in the next day or two.

    First, let me say I know next to nothing about skype-ing. Or any other video conferencing. But, someone might want to check out join.me. They supposedly have free video conferencing that you can record. https://www.join.me/

    Hi Eric could you look into WhatsApp conference call or set up an account with Cisco WebEx to run a webinar or conference call?

    Skype has changed a lot since it became part of Microsoft. You can use Google+ Hangouts to record or Go To Meeting or Zoom meeting where we can all just call in to a number with an access code. Here’s HuffPo’s suggestions on free meeting tools. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/alex-ivanovs/7-platforms-for-free-conf_b_6163396.html

    Hi Eric,
    There are several software packages you can use for a conference cal. WhatsApp is OK, but I’m not sure about their recording ability. I highly suggest and have used GoToMeeting or GoToTraining. You will be able to record, attach handouts, show yourself, your screen, transfer to others for screen control, add polls and surveys and best of all, convert your recording to mp3 so that it can be saved and shared. It’s not free but well worth the cost. I’ve used it for years with high-level exec. meetings and other trainings. Give it a try.

      Is it international?

    How about making a Facebook page with the group name. That way we can all meet and get the word out to many

      I second the facebook group. That’s the easiest platform for many people

    I like the idea of a Facebook page. Then whoever wants to participate can do it.

    You could also try a Periscope app on your smartphone. You would be projected live, everyone could see you and then the viewers would send messages / remarks everyone could see. It would be less responsive than if everyone was able to speak at once but it could be Plan B or C.

    Hi Eric

    I have used zoom before with many hundreds on a call, it worked well.

    Hello Eric and SWC. For quite a few years I operated a ‘room’ out of Paltalk. You can set up a closed room for only those that you wish to enter and it combines video, voice and text. Each person can chat to the group via video/voice, one at a time, but texting can happen all the time. I used to be able to copy and save the text and I also could record the voice…however I never used the video because of my server. Paltalk entry details should be available at Google. Pete

      Oh and Paltalk is international.

        Do you have to phone or use a phone system….this would be a problem for those living out side of the US wouldn’t it?

        1. Eric Leigh-Pink Avatar

          There are so many fans outside of the US so we would need an international platform

            Most of the platforms mentioned for conference calling will also give you a computer link to join the meeting, so you can either call in or link in. If you use the link, you can usually send written messages to other attendees, like asking a question without interrupting the meeting.

            I’ve personally used Go To Meeting and Google+ Hangouts the most for biz type meetings from all over and they worked well.

            I think that Free Conference Call site seems the most promising because it offers so many services for free and a table comparing it to all the other platforms like Go To Meeting so you could easily see what features are missing or require payment.

            I was on a similar meeting this spring with another psychic who was holding a group visioning session and suggested that those interested listen in — there were 100s from all over and it was a computer link using Zoom. I just double-checked my registration email. I remember we could all text each other while the psychic was leading the meeting. It was free for us to set up an account but I don’t know if the psychic had to pay anything for us. We all had to join Zoom to join the meeting.

            Re the person who didn’t want to use FB — I’m in that category. I don’t even like to read posts on FB because of privacy considerations and that was before all the Russia issues

              zoo seems to be a very popular tool.

          Yes it was (Jeanne and fascinating). It seemed very easy, don’t you think?

    Wrong place to post this question, but anyway….Eric, do you have any idea which two predictions the completed countdowns are for?

    Hi everyone! I am the drunken Aussie girl from last night. I am still in disbelief that I was accidentally called on Skype last night…. I find it hysterical and I hope you can find humour in our drunken shenanigans too but I do apologize if you did not care for it and I am aware we were an interruption to a very important discussion and collaboration.
    I am so grateful for what Eric does and I have been a silent observer of this site for a couple of years now. I also have had a reading at the beginning of the year. Everything that he has said has unfolded, I am completely amazed and I am looking forward to getting another reading very soon. Love your work Eric….

      Hi Jess. So what time in Aussie was it for you when Eric started, and which state?

    Hi Eric,
    Here’s another platform idea for you to consider, and it’s completely FREE. How about setting up your own channel page on YouTube and stream live meetings where anyone can watch and comment on what you’re saying. This requires no money, very little skill, and less than an hour to get yourself set-up on YouTube. Your computer needs to have a camera, and I’m assuming you’ve already got this. Another big plus is that a lot of people are already familiar with YouTube in general and YouTube live streaming in particular. Participants just have to get themselves to YouTube and either type in your name or your channel in the search bar. They don’t have to learn another app or download anything.

      Thanks I will look into it

    Hi Eric – Sorry I missed the meeting. I don’t use Facebook much, and I worry that all the information shared on it is owned by Facebook, so I would not recommend using them. I will be shutting down my account on FB on Oct 19, the day of protest against them working with Putin to destroy the 2016 election.
    I have found the Cisco WebEx system to be unreliable for business videoconferences, the connections break down too often. I have liked using FreeConferenceCall.com for free calls – this has always worked for me. At work, we have been using Google Hangouts for international calls, and it works fine.
    I hope to be on the next call.
