A few years ago, video meetings were still rare for most people, something you did once a month, maybe, if you worked in an office for a big enough company. These events were infrequent enough that everyone struggled to remember how to make everything work. And then a global pandemic abruptly sent us all home early from work and school, and online meetings and classes quickly replaced in-person events. Now that video conferencing services have left their niche and became part of mainstream life, we've all become experienced online meeting participants.

Even as the world gradually reopens for face-to-face business meetings and kids go back to the classroom, video conferencing tools have proven their worth. That's especially true for freelancers, small businesses, and informal work alliances. If you're in that category, you don't have a corporate budget to pay monthly per-user fees for a service that everyone in the company can use, nor do you have full-time support staff to deploy and manage the service. Smaller businesses and sole proprietors need video conferencing tools that just work, preferably for free.

That's the purpose of this list, which focuses on services that allow people to collaborate for work or school projects, although there's no reason you can't use them for hanging out with friends online and hosting virtual cocktail parties. Online meetings can include collaborative features like screen sharing or whiteboarding and can typically be recorded for posterity. The most important qualification to make this list is that the service must be completely free, with no trial editions, expiration dates, or hidden costs. Typically, that involves technical limits on what you can do with the service: a cap on the number of people that can join a meeting, for example, or a time limit for each meeting. If you can stay within those lines, you can get a lot of work done for free.

How we narrowed the field

We looked at currently available video conference services that support a wide range of desktop and mobile platforms, concentrating on those with a well-established reputation and a reliable infrastructure for hosting high-quality, reliable meetings. We didn't do any testing ourselves.

The most important factor, as we note in the title, is that the service must be completely free for long-term use, with no expiration date or hidden costs. That filter knocks some well-known names off the list, including Intermedia AnyMeeting, GoToMeeting, and Google Hangouts Meet. Every program in our list offers some feature limitations available only with paid upgrades, but individuals and small businesses that can work with those limitations can use these services for free, for as long as they want.

How to choose

Every video conferencing service offers a core set of features that are pretty much the same. Meeting participants can connect using audio and video hardware on a PC or mobile device. The ability to share a screen with other participants is universal. Some, but not all, of these services also allow document sharing, collaborative editing, and virtual whiteboarding.

The biggest differentiating factor is, of course, the number of meeting participants and the time limit for online meetings. If you regularly host short meetings with small teams (under 10 people), any of these services will do. For larger groups, be sure to examine the limits carefully. Another differentiating factor is recording capabilities, with most free plans allowing local recordings only and reserving cloud storage space for paid subscribers.

Because these services are free, there's no barrier to trying them out before you settle on one that matches your needs and expectations. If your trial isn't satisfactory, move on to the next contender.

Introduction

Setting up a Gmail account is easy. You will begin by creating a Google account, and during the quick sign-up process you will choose your Gmail account name. In this lesson, we'll show you how to set up your Google account for Gmail, add and edit contacts, and edit your mail settings.

Setting up a Gmail account

To create a Gmail address, you'll first need to create a Google account. Gmail will redirect you to the Google account sign-up page. You'll need to provide some basic information like your name, birth date, gender, and location. You will also need to choose a name for your new Gmail address. Once you create an account, you'll be able to start adding contacts and adjusting your mail settings.

To create an account:

Go to www.gmail.com.

Next, enter your phone number to verify your account. Google uses a two-step verification process for your security.

You will receive a text message from Google with a verification code. Enter the code to complete the account verification.

Next, you will see a form to enter some of your personal information, like your name and birthday.

Review Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, then click I agree.

Your account will be created.

Just like with any online service, it's important to choose a strong password-in other words, one that is difficult for someone else to guess. For more information, review our lesson on creating strong passwords.

Signing in to your account

When you first create your account, you will be automatically signed in. Most of the time, however, you'll need to sign in to your account and sign out when you're done with it. Signing out is especially important if you're using a shared computer (for example, at a library or office) because it prevents others from viewing your emails.

To sign in:

Go to www.gmail.com.

Type your user name (your email address) and password, then click Next.

To sign out:

In the top-right corner of the page, locate the circle that has your first initial (if you've already selected an avatar image, it will show the image instead). To sign out, click the circle and select Sign out.

Mail settings

Occasionally, you may want to make adjustments to Gmail's appearance or behavior. For example, you could create a signature or vacation reply, edit your labels, or change the theme. These adjustments can be made from your mail settings.

To access your mail settings:

Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the page, then select Settings.

Adding contacts

Like all major email providers, Gmail lets you keep an address book of contacts so you don't have to memorize everyone's email addresses. You can also add other contact information, like phone numbers, birthdays, and physical addresses.

To add a contact:

Your contacts screen will appear. Click the Add new contact button in the lower-right corner.

To edit a contact:

In the Google apps drop-down menu, select Contacts.

By default, when you send an email to a new address, Gmail adds the address to your contacts. You can then go to your contacts to edit the person's information as needed.

Importing mail and contacts

You may already have a contact list from another email address, and it would be a lot of work to re-enter all of this information manually. Gmail allows you to import your contacts from another email account, and you can even import all of your email messages from that account. Several email providers are supported, including Yahoo!, Hotmail, and AOL.

To add other accounts:

Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the page, then select Settings.

Go to Accounts and click Add a mail account. You can then follow the instructions on the screen to import your mail.

Challenge!

If you do not already have a Gmail account, create one.

Open Gmail.

Navigate to your Gmail settings.

Set your preferences in your Gmail settings.

Add a new contact. You can either add one you already know, or if you'd like you can create one with the following information:
Name: Julia Fillory
Email: [email protected]

Zoom has become one of the most widely used platforms for video conferencing. If you've ever joined a Zoom meeting before, you might have noticed that you didn't need to sign up to attend. However, if you want to host a meeting, you need to create a Zoom account first. Here's everything you need to know about how to set up a Zoom meeting, add contacts to Zoom, and schedule a meeting for the future.

How to Create a Zoom Account

To create a Zoom account, your first have to download the Zoom installer. Then open the installer and select Sign In > Sign Up Free. Follow the on-screen instructions to activate your account from the email Zoom sends you.

Note: If you already have a Zoom account, you can scroll down to the next section to see how to set up a Zoom meeting in the app. If you are using an iPhone or Android device, check out our guide on how to set up a Zoom meeting on your phone here.

Download the Zoom app installer. Go to the Zoom download center and click the blue Download button under Zoom Client for Meetings.

Then open the downloaded file. You can find this file in your downloads folder, or wherever you chose to save it. Once the installation is complete, the Zoom app will open automatically.

Then click Sign Up Free to create your Zoom account. You will see this in the bottom-right corner of the window. Once you click this, it will open a new browser window.

Next, enter your date of birth, email address, and click Sign Up.

Then go to your email inbox and open the message from Zoom. This will have a subject line that says, "Please activate your Zoom account."

Next, click Activate Account. Once you do, you will be redirected to Zoom's website.

Finally, enter your name, create a password, and click Continue.

Once you click Continue, your Zoom account will be set up. You can now open the app to set up a Zoom meeting. Here's how:

How to Set Up a Zoom Meeting on a Desktop Computer

Open the Zoom app and click Sign In.

Then enter your email address and password and click Sign In.

Next, click the New Meeting icon. This is the video camera icon with an orange background. Another window will then open, showing you a video of the conference room you created.

Then click Join with Computer Audio or Test Speaker and Microphone. If this is your first time using Zoom, it is a good idea to test your audio before you begin.

First, you will be asked if you can hear a ringtone. If you don't hear anything after a moment, make sure to click No. This will cause Zoom to shuffle through your speakers one by one. You can also select a different speaker by clicking the drop-down above Output Level. Once you do hear a tone, click Yes.

Then you will be asked to test your microphone. All you have to do is speak a few words and wait. If you hear your words spoken back to you after a moment, click Yes. Otherwise, click No or click the drop-down to select another microphone from the list.

Note: If you don't see a live video of yourself in the app, click the up arrow next to Stop Video in the lower-left corner of the window. Then choose a different video source. If you don't see this button, move your mouse over the video screen, and a menu will pop up at the bottom of your window. If your webcam still isn't working, check out our step-by-step guide on how to use your phone as a webcam for free.

Then click Participants at the bottom of the window. This is the button with the outline of two people in the bottom-middle portion of the meeting window. Clicking this will open a sidebar on the right side of your video.

Next, click Invite at the bottom of the right sidebar.

Then click the Email tab. This is at the top of the window, next to Contacts.

Next, select an email service. If you don't have a Gmail or Yahoo Mail account, you can click the Default Email button. You can also click Copy Invite Link or Copy Invitation in the bottom-left corner of the window. This lets you send the link for the meeting, the meeting ID, and the meeting password using any method you want.

Then enter the email addresses of the participants you want to invite to the Zoom meeting.

Finally, click Send to invite all the participants.

To set up a Zoom meeting, open the Zoom app and sign in. Then click New Meeting > Participants > Invite. Next, click the Email tab and select a service. Finally, send the email to everyone you want to invite.

If you are setting up meetings with the same people repeatedly, you can add them as contacts in the Zoom app to make things easier. Here's how:

Open the Zoom app and sign in.

Next, click the plus sign. You will find this in the upper-left part of the window next to Channels.

Then select Add a Contact. This will open a pop-up window.

Then enter an email address and click Add Contact. Every contact you add will receive an email with a link. Once they click the link, they will be asked to approve your request to be added as your contact.

To add contacts in Zoom, open the app and click the Contacts icon. Then click the + sign and select Add a Contact. Next, add an email address and click Add Contact. They will have to accept your invitation to be added to your contacts list.

Note: The contacts you send a request to will have to sign into Zoom to accept your invitation within 30 days.

Once your contact accepts your invitation, you can then add them when you start a meeting by going to Participants > Invite. Then, you will see their name or email address under the Contacts tab.

All you have to do is select the contacts you want to add to the meeting and click Invite in the bottom-right corner of the window.

Since it takes time for participants to accept your invitations, it is a good idea to schedule a Zoom meeting in the future. Here's how:

How to Schedule a Meeting With the Zoom Desktop App

Open the Zoom app and sign in.

Then Click Schedule at the bottom of the window. Your chosen calendar client will then open in a new browser tab.
Note: After clicking Schedule, you might have to sign in to your account and allow Zoom to access your calendar.

Next, add your guests and review the other details of the meeting.

Finally, click Save to send the calendar invite to your guests.

To schedule a meeting on Zoom, click the Schedule icon in the app and enter the start time and other details of your meeting. Then click Schedule and add your guests in your calendar client before clicking Save.

Once you know how to schedule a Zoom meeting, check out our step-by-step guide on how to add a virtual background in Zoom here.

Wi-Fi has been around for a while now, enabling us to connect to our favorite websites and chat while playing games with our friends. Windows 10's brand new interface changes how you connect to wireless networks. Luckily, connecting to Wi-Fi is easier and simpler than before.

Select the network

icon from the notification area to open the network flyout. If your device is able to connect to a wireless network through a wireless adapter, then you'll see a signal/broadcast radio wave icon with a star above it.

If your device is wireless capable but the icon is missing, then go to "Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Select which icons appear on the taskbar" and slide the switch next to "Network" to "On".

You can also go to "Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi > Show available networks".

Click or tap the network name (SSID/service set identifier[1]) you want to connect to.

Either enter the network password.

If the router is WPS enabled, press the button on the router to connect.

Choose sharing settings. You'll be asked "Do you want allow your PC to be discoverable by other PCs and devices on this network". Clicking away will choose the "No" option.

If on your home or workplace network, select Yes , otherwise choose No .

To disconnect, simply open the Wi-Fi pane and select the network you're connected to. Press Disconnect .

Open Settings. Click the Start

button and select the settings

gear in the lower left corner.

Type the network's name (SSID/service set identifier[1]).

Decide whether to always connect to the network automatically when it's in range. Either check

or uncheck

the box next to "Connect automatically".

Add New Question

Where do I find the WiFi settings in Windows 10?

There are two different ways of accessing the WiFi settings. One is to go to Start > Settings > Network & Internet > WiFi. You can also click the taskbar network icon, choose "Network & Internet settings" from the bottom of the menu, then choose "WiFi" from the left.

On Windows 10, I do not use a "Connect Automatically" setting. When I do click "Connect" I want it to ask me for the Security Key. However, it does not and I cannot find how to force it to do so. What should I do?

The connect automatically settings do not control the computer storing your WiFi password. Any device will remember the network every time you log in and therefore will always remember the password and automatically connect when you click on it. To set it where you must put in your password every time you would need to forget the network every time you were done.

What is wrong if my device can't see my WiFi after being connected to it a week ago when my other devices are connected fine?

This could be multiple issues. Your router could simply be overloaded - routers often have limits as to how much they can process, so it may just be "full." Alternatively, your device might have a damaged WiFi card, or has been set to ignore the WiFi.

See more answers

Connection problems and errors? Do the following in this order:

Restart your router.

Troubleshoot Wi-Fi by right-clicking (or long pressing for touchscreens) the taskbar icon and selecting Troubleshoot problems .

Perform a network reset. Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Status and scroll down. Press "Network reset" (at the very bottom) and click or tap . Your PC will restart.

Search for fixes online. Be sure to include error codes and messages in your search.

Earlier, we used to have bookmarks to keep track of the page we were reading in our favorite book. It ensured that the next time we open the book, we don't have to start searching again from square one. The same has been now followed in browsers also.

Similarly, Google Chrome and all other browsers have this feature of bookmarking or adding to the favorites list. This helps to keep the website link handy and easily accessible.

Especially at workspace when we work on a particular project or tool that we use very often, we have to visit the page again and again. Hence, bookmarking that page link makes it easy to follow the path.

The other day my mother was reading an article that she needed for research later. Since she was unaware of the mobile bookmarks feature on chrome, she had to search for the URL again and again. When I saw her struggling with the same, I decided to help her with mobile bookmarks.
