I know you all mean well, but I feel your system of communication is over the top unwieldy.

Surely I could watch a video without having to create a new membership with a new group, chat pee?

I hear you @Delicatessen & @jumble . I know you're not the only ones to have had frustrations and challenges with the Chatwee platform and I appreciate you bringing the issues you're experiencing to our attention. I'm not sure if this FAQ might be of some help to either of you? There will also be the option to read a transcript of the discussion back afterwards- we will post here when that is available. You, or anyone who would like to is also welcome to continue or discuss here on the Forums by creating a new thread.

Thanks for the tag @TideisTurning but I'm pretty knackered. Unlikely to last the duration apart from anything!

I hope it is a good chat 🙂
