Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Who says "zoom" as a verb? People say "video chat" or, more realistically, "facetime" for all video chats.

I've heard a lot of people talk about "zoom meetings" when the meetings are actually held on google meet, or webx.

I've used Zoom in previous companies to speak to clients, and have never heard anyone use it as a term for video calls. I have absolutely no idea where this has come from, but it's definitely not true...

I work in tech. Everyone.

I've met a lot of people who do this through my work from home job

No one I know would use facetime... That suggests using a phone for a business meeting. Bad angles, shakey image.. very unprofessional.

For a business meeting you need a computer which means we're zooming, regardless of the platform

Let's do a zoom meeting can conceivably be on Teams I guess

Yeah, it seems like facetime would be more at risk for becoming generic. If it weren't for Apple, that is.
