lammo Mar 2020 5:38pm, 24 Mar 2020 10,080 posts	0 lammo Hi When trying to download this onto my home laptop (Windows 10 - for my sons online kick boxing classes!), it tells me the installer has a virus and the file has been deleted. I'm reasonably IT literate, but can't sort out what's going on, can anybody help me please? Thanks Lammo

It works (sort of) but althought the camera is on and we can see ourselves on screen other people can't see us! I was hoping to be able to get more than 4 panels up in gallery view for the six households involved in our church home group, without having to keeps switching screens on my tablet. It does work really well on my tablet though. Last night we had family game of Trivial Pursuit with my phone as an attendee on a tripod aiming down at the board, and the tablet set up for both of us and the 3 junior families. 😁
