[dba-Tech] How to turn camera on?

Have you tried Skype? Easy to use, free to cheap, runs on all platforms and requires no social obligations. We use it to contact family and friend.

Thanks, Tina. I'll try everything you suggested.

I have to figure out how to make this work, because a certain client in the
USA wants me to do a webcam interview and I have no idea how to do that..

Call me dinosaur or wimp or whatever, but I have stayed far away from all
the social media. I regard this stuff as fundamentally evil.

But at the same time, it appears that I must open myself to a certain
corporation because I want to. I'm willing to do a podcast with them but am
also unwilling to expose myself for massive public receipts/responses/etc.
I want to be able to state my case and receive only selected responses. Is
there a way to do that? (I'm expecting thousands of responses and I need a
way to filter them.)
