Staying Virtually Connected During Lockdown
167
Reading, writing, watching movies, painting, sketching — is that all what people are doing during their quarantine? No! Social butterflies, whether quarantined or not, require their social interactions all the time to keep their spirits up. And during this time of this global pandemic, as difficult as it can get, it is not impossible to socialise with the people all around. Want to explore how? Here is a special list of ways curated by Wedding Affair to stay socially connected among your circles during the lockdown period.
Gaming Nights
Get together with your friends and enjoy exclusive game nights to the fullest. Get your competitive selves ready for the fun various gaming apps offer as you sit in the comfort of your homes. Firstly, apps like Houseparty let you connect with your friends and enjoy a virtual party with them. Along with that, Pictionary and Heads Up are available to play as a group.
Participative Movie Nights
Netflix Party is Google Chrome extension that lets you experience a super chill movie night with your loved ones! The best thing about this is that there’s also a group chat feature where you can upload screenshots, emojis and even GIFs so you can still have that sarcastic and hilarious running commentary.
Community Calls
Host a community call where your buddies can check-in about how they are feeling and share resources that can support each other during this time. This is particularly helpful during this time as people tend to panic and lose their mental wellbeing during these hard times.
FaceTime / Zoom / Hangouts
Keep a check on how your colleagues, friends and family members are doing by connecting with them regularly via these mediums online.Â
Modern Jukebox
As the Australian website Training mentions, JQBX links to your Spotify and is free to use. You can log into the web app or choose to download the app on the App Store or Google Play. You can join a party, be a DJ or just listen with anyone anywhere in the world! It even gives you the power to cheer for the tunes you liked and boo the ones that just weren’t your vibe.
