How to Keep Video Calling with Friends Alive

   During this time away from school and social isolation, seeing friends can be difficult. While in school, making plans and staying in touch is much easier because of the interactions we have throughout the school day..

   Video chatting with friends might seem pointless to some if there is nothing to really talk about or to do. At first when I would call my friends, we would catch up and talk about everything going on. 

   As the call went on, we could sometimes get distracted on our phones or our school work. This made the video call seem pointless at times because we were just sitting in silence doing our own things.

   After some searching and testing out random apps and games such as w88, we found two really fun games that we play to keep our video calls alive.

   The first game we played is called paranoia. Paranoia is a really fun game that is typically played in person, but my friends and I altered it to fit a video calling platform.

   To play the game, one person will text another a “Who is most likely to…” question. This question stays between the person who asked and the individual person who was texted. Then, the person who was asked will just simply say the name of who they think it would be. 

   Players can flip a coin to see if the question will be revealed. My friends and I opted to ask Siri to flip a coin for us. If the coin lands on heads, then the question is not revealed. But, if the coin lands on tails, then the question is told to everyone.

   This game made me learn a lot about my friends and the impressions that we give off to each other. It was really fun to play, but I would recommend playing the game only when you have a good amount of people. Playing with a few people is not that interesting and can become boring. Similarly, games like เข้าสู่ระบบ UFABET วันนี้ are more exciting with more players, as they thrive on interaction and engagement.

   The second game that we found and really liked was an app called “Photo Roulette.” Each player had to download the app and use a game pin to join the match with their friends. The app will go through each player’s photos to put in the game, but they will be able to allow or to deny what photos get used.

   Once the game starts, a random photo will be shown for a couple of seconds. Players will have to guess whose camera roll the photo came from. This game is really fun and made me learn a lot about what my friends have in their camera roll.

   Some pictures were pretty easy to guess, but others were genuinely really hard and that made the game fun. It was super easy and enjoyable to play. It definitely brought some great laughs as well. 

   During this time, I think that we all need to be able to hang out with our friends and the people we are unable to visit. Since we cannot do so in a physical environment anymore, video calling is really helpful. Plus, adding games such as satta disawar to the environment makes this something I genuinely look forward to even more.
