Video Chatting
Video chat apps work on desktop computers, laptops, and smartphones; just make sure everyone you include has the same app installed so you can all connect. There are plenty of free video apps you can use, such as Facebook’s Messenger Rooms, Google Meet, Skype Meet Now, Zoom, or WhatsApp. Schedule a weekly phone call with loved ones or try one of these fun online group games.
Voice-Enabled Smart Speakers
Using only your voice, you can hear the latest news, delicious recipes, your favorite music, your loved ones on the phone, even jokes. You can also play all sorts of games like Song Quiz where you guess the titles of popular songs from the past 60 years. If you live alone, smart speakers can become a companion of sorts and give you someone to talk to. Learn more about smart speakers here.
Online Interest Groups
To find social groups and events in your community, visit Meetup or Nextdoor. Meetup facilitates thousands of online and in-person “meetups” every day. Want to find people who love dogs, walking or board games? Search the site for a get-together. Nextdoor instantly connects you to other people living in your neighborhood, giving you a forum to share information and learn the latest local news. It’s a great place to discover events near you, find items for sale or being given away, and strengthen connections in your own community.
