Willard et al.

I have been split between Zoom users and FaceTme for multichannel users. At
work we use Skype and MSTeams; at home we use FaceTime. In trying to organize a
meeting of old friends from Comparative Literature at the University of Toronto
we bumped into the Zoom versus FaceTime versus Skype question. I use FaceTime
Version 5.0 (3080) (I don't have the Skype version at hand (I WFH but keep the
work laptop lockdown on off hours & days.)

Does any one know of plans to make the platforms interoperable i.e. a Skyper
can talk/chat/record/jam with a friend or collaborator on Zoom or FaceTime?

I ask this question of interoperability as a form of accessibility (in the
abstract) to have a concrete real-world application in this time of our
confinements.

Thanks. Take Care.

BTW my current use for FaceTime is as mirror.
