Fellow geeks, Ten Forums & Windows 10 enthusiasts and Insiders:
This is an open invitation to TF Saturday Live - The Macrium Special on Saturday April 28th, 2018. Come and meet your fellow TF members and Windows Insiders in a live chat. This time the topic is backup & imaging, concentrating on Macrium products.
NoteThis time we will have a special guest joining us: Nick Sills. He's the founder and CEO of Macrium; he'll be talking about Macrium Reflect and answering your questions in a Q&A session!
InformationTF Saturday Live - The Macrium Special will be held in three parts. Part 1 should allow the members from Asia and Oceania to participate, Part 2 should be OK for the European, Middle Eastern and African members and the Part 3 for our American members.
You can participate in all three sessions if you wish. We wanted to offer as many chat session throughout the day as possible, to give more guests and members around the globe the opportunity to participate. Please note: our special guest, Nick Sills, will be attending the Part 3 session.
This TF Saturday Live Chat will be recorded. Please keep that in mind and behave accordingly, when participating in the chat, using your webcam or presenting your desktop for display. Also, please be aware that extracts of recordings might be posted on TenForums and on various social media.
Each chat session will go live online half an hour before its official start time. This should give you time to test your connection, and join into the chat. Also, we will remain online in session as long as attendees wish to continue. Such sessions usually last at least 90 minutes, sometimes longer.
Use the links above to check the start times for each session in your local time zone. You will see the start time in UTC shown at left, and converted to your local time at right:
Notice that if your regional settings use a 12-hour (AM/PM) clock, you will see times in that familiar format.
A link to each live chat session will be posted in this thread on Ten Forums 30 minutes before the start of each part. The TF Saturday Live Chat is a group video meeting. Even so, audio and/or webcam video participation is optional. If you prefer, you can simply listen in and participate using text chat instead.
See this Microsoft article for instructions on using the Skype for Business Web App (no account required): Join a Skype Meeting with Skype for Business Web App:
A small plugin will be installed. Once complete, you can then join the meeting. The total time required, including the time to install the plugin, is less than a minute.
Notice that you will not need any Ten Forums, Skype, Skype for Business, email or MS Account. Simply choose a screen name for yourself, and join as a guest. Of course, it would be nice for people to use their TenForums usernames, but that's entirely up to you. If you'd like to remain anonymous, feel free to sign in as a guest named "John Doe."
You can, of course, also join using the Skype for Business desktop app if you have a Skype for Business account of some kind. Please remember that in that case your personal information will be available for and seen by all participants. I recommend to at least disable your contact card showing the phone numbers. As far as I know there's no way to disable showing your account name, avatar and email address when joining with your Skype for Business account.
