This should be easy to Google for any service you use, but here are a few common examples:. If your internet speed is at the low end or lower than the recommended bandwidth for a tool, expect connectivity issues or try some of the alternatives listed below.
You can see the variety of bandwidth usage among even similar apps — Zoom requires significantly more than Skype or Google Hangouts, and Webex requires significantly more than Blackboard or Canvas. He told The Cap Times he switched to Blackboard after a spotty experience using Webex for his first large lecture during social distancing. They might not be restricted to any one platform. An audio-only call uses far less bandwidth than a video call.
Try turning off your video when you join a call to reduce the required upload speed. Most video conferencing services include an option to call into a meeting from your phone. This lets you rely on your cell phone service, not an internet or data connection.
A dial-in phone number is included with the meeting invitation, the same place you get the link to join. Ask your teacher or team leader to offer ways to receive information that require less internet bandwidth. Here are some options to try:. We do this all the time with email, texts and DMs — you send out a message, the person receives it, they read it and respond on their own time.
Two apps I love that facilitate asynchronous communication and collaboration for voice and video are Voxer and Loom, respectively. Both are free. Voxer lets you and recipients record and send voice messages back and forth at the touch of a button. Conversations feel like a text chat, but the ability to send audio lets you express more complex ideas — great for work or school brainstorming and feedback.
Loom lets you easily record your screen and voice and video if you choose and send a video link to recipients. Depending on how much money or time you can invest into improving your home internet in an area with no cable service, here are some options. Major providers are also going beyond the pledge to give customers extra data and cheaper plan options, WhistleOut reports. Companies will add it to plans automatically.
This expanded access to data means your smart phone is a valuable tool right now. And you can find a mobile app for almost any service you use, including email, video calls, chat apps, Google Drive apps and Microsoft Office apps. Many people without cable internet rely on cell service providers for internet through a hotspot device. My brother-in-law told me his household Wi-Fi in rural Wisconsin was terrible on their Verizon hotspot for years until a rep from the company advised they buy an antenna.
He installed what sounds like a Yagi antenna on their roof, and now they can stream movies and join video calls without a hitch! There's a special loophole that exempts children of self-employed individuals from paying social security, Medicare, and federal unemployment taxes on wages paid by a parent. Even so, you get to deduct the wages paid as a business expense. Imagine what the money contributed will be worth after 50 years or more of tax-free growth!
The only catch is that your net self-employment income must exceed the premiums paid. If you and your family are relatively healthy, consider switching to a high-deductible plan and opening a Health Savings Account HSA - the new tax-advantaged way to fund your family's healthcare costs.
Another advantage of being self-employed is that you get to deduct certain personal-type expenses against your self-employment income.
