The meeting opened with an active discussion on Zoom controls including raising
hands, muting audio and screen sharing.
Mary Lavelle wondered how to activate the camera in Zoom on her laptop Declan
advised her to use alt+v Other meeting shortcuts for Zoom in Windows:
audio: alt a
mute and unmute: alt y
Quit Zoom: alt q
Mary led a discussion of Contactless payment and the daily usage limit.
This is a payment method that means you can pay for small purchases (€30 and
under) in most retailers by holding your debit or credit card beside a keypad
without having to enter your PIN.
For added security, you will be asked to enter your PIN after a certain number
of uses. The maximum value for these transactions may vary.
Further details at: Contactless Payments in Ireland - Money Guide Ireland
John Acton found PayPal very useful for payments with the least amount of fuss.
Declan warned of the danger of scams when using PayPal.
Mary had a query about closing the BorrowBox search. Cearbhall advised that it
was necessary to double tap the edit box to close it in order to find the
navigation buttons and move out of the search engine.
Declan reported that he has a list of free audio book services that he will
make available on the Fighting Blindness web site in the next few days. he
asked for any recommendations for same to be sent to him by email.
Annette McCarthy pointed out that as she does not use email on her phone, she
could not use Declan's link to Zoom meetings. It was recommended that she get
someone to text the link to her iPhone.
Michael Lavin reported that Google Chrome kept crashing when he had about eight
tabs open at the same time. Declan explained that each tab in Google is a
virtual computer using 4g of server memory. Too many tabs open would cause
Google to crash. He explained that control tab would show each open tab and
control w would close each one.
Mary, Joan and Eamonn discussed how best to reverse the screen background in
iPhone. There was a question of reversing the screen for a single app rather
than for the whole phone.
The result was that some apps support dark mode and some don't.

The shortcut to turn "Classic invert" or "Smart Invert" on or off must be
enabled in accessibility settings. The shortcut is triple tap on home key or on
volume keys in later models.
Annette asked how to remove unwanted WhatsApp messages and images. Mary
explained how she uses the context menu on each message or selection of
messages to scroll to the delete button and remove them.
Joan wondered how to stop receiving list messages in Digest Mode. Cearbhall
advised that she go into her user settings on the freelists.org web page for
the particular list and turn off digest mode.
Joe needs to have Gmail messages go to his inbox. The following steps should
resolve the difficulty:
1. Go to Mail Settings.
2. Go to Inbox tab.
3. In the Importance markers category, select No markers.
4. In the Inbox sections category, at Important, click on Options.
5. From the dropdown menu select Remove
There was a discussion on how to subscribe to various mailing lists hosted on
