An online conference is illustrated using the format of a TV talk show. The conference combined live audio discussion with visual images spontaneously selected by the moderator in the manner of a TV control-room director. A combination of inexpensive online collaborative tools was used for the event, based on the browser-based audio-conferencing software, iVocalize. The exercise illustrates how an impression of a fully featured online video-conference can be created without the need for complex video-conferencing software and high bandwidth.

Abstract This study examines cross-speaker repetition in triadic conversations in the Japanese language. For the analysis, three sets of triadic conversations between close friends taken from a TV talk show are used. The results reveal that repetition in triadic conversations performs distinctive functions that are not observed in dyadic conversations: repetition often takes place between only two participants of the triad and allows the two to team up and strengthen their bond exclusively (teaming repetition), or even playfully tease the third participant (teasing repetition). Repetition is also shared between the three participants. In such cases, it allows the participants to create an instant bond by joking or referring to shared circumstances (immediate threefold repetition), or to gradually establish rapport by connecting their utterances and co-constructing a story (repetition relay). All these types of repetition express the participants’ points of view and contribute efficiently to their relationships that shift from moment to moment. The study further demonstrates cases in which one participant makes good use of various repetition types in a short period of time and efficiently allocates thoughts and feelings to the other two participants. The study concludes that repetition plays a significant role in Japanese conversation, helping speakers to converse smoothly and manage the dynamic relationships efficiently.

The use of video conferencing technology is increasing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Bigbluebutton and jitsi are examples of open source video conferencing platforms that can be installed on their own servers. The server is created using a cloud-based virtual machine. Analysis of quality of service which includes delay, packet loss, throughput, and jitter is needed to determine the quality of service and the comparison of the two platforms. Observations were also made on the use of CPU, memory / RAM, and disk usage for each server. There are 3 test scenarios carried out. Each scenario is carried out on each existing VM specification. From this test, it is known that in the delay parameter, the highest bigbluebutton is obtained, which is 35,35 ms. And then the highest jitsi delay is 17,66 ms. In packet loss parameters, jitsi obtained the highest yield, namely 0,29%, while for bigbluebutton only 0,16% of packet loss was the highest. Throughput, bigbluebutton and jitsi all got very bad results. However, bigbluebutton obtained better results, namely, the highest throughput was 5.6%. While Jitsi obtained the highest throughput, namely 2,8%. Whereas for the jitter parameter, jitsi obtained 0,00 ms results on all tests in each VM. Meanwhile, bigbluebutton, get 0,1 ms on test 3 on VM 1

Healthcare systems have postponed medical volunteering services in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, much of the aid provided by these volunteers is crucial to patient care and hospital functioning in the American healthcare system. The adoption of online video conferencing platforms in healthcare—telehealth—offers a novel solution for volunteering during this pandemic. Virtual volunteering can alleviate pressures on medical workers, enhance patient experiences, reduce the risk of viral infection and provide a sense of normalcy for patients and families. Although further study is required, this should be an avenue considered by health systems.
