A year ago, probably even just a month ago, if you'd asked me to video chat with someone (anyone!) I would have said absolutely not. I've always found it awkward and uncomfortable. These days we meet with family via video chat at least three days a week, and I often connect with friends that way at least once a week. It is a life line. Is it easy? No. Is it awkward? Absolutely. But it IS a life line.
We try to make them less awkward with purpose, themes, and scheduling. Wednesdays are wine night—what is everyone drinking? Fridays are beer night, like they were before the isolation orders, when we met with family at local breweries to close the week. There's also show-and-tell, or video game streaming, or find the difference in the background...but lately we've gotten so good at this it takes very little to make it comfortable.
It's not the same as before lockdown, but we make do with what we have.

Fetch on the farm. The parks are getting too crowded.
