For an even better experience, you can even opt for webcams that offer 1080p resolution and a 60-90 degree field of view from 6-10 feet away, allowing people to see everything that’s going on in your living room .

Here are a few webcams and adapters that can help you get started on your Zoom journey:

After downloading Zoom from the Fire TV App Store, you can immediately start zooming as a guest or sign in to an existing account by following the onscreen instructions.

Once you log into your account, you can access all your contacts and all upcoming meetings. You can even start meetings from the app itself.

With Tesla’s new update, you can watch all your favorite Disney movies from your car.

Have you ever wished you could watch some TV while running errands? Thanks to Tesla’s latest update, you can watch everything that’s been available on the Disney+ video streaming service right from the dashboard of your fancy car, which has caught the eye of users on Reddit.

So sit back, relax, and experience everything the streaming service has to offer while your car is parked or charging. Just make sure you don’t spend time daydreaming about classic Simpsons episodes along the way.

According to Variety, Disney+ currently has over 100 million subscribers, just 18 months since launch. So if you don’t have a Disney+ account, chances are you know someone who does.

Other features to look out for on Tesla models include a car wash mode – which seals the car to prevent water damage or leaks – dashcam autosave, auto dimming of your mirrors and more battery information to keep you informed , when your vehicle is needed charging.

Soon you’ll also have the option to stay connected to Wi-Fi while driving, alongside new language support for Russian, Romanian and Hungarian.

Nintendo Switch owners are some of the most loyal and patient gaming fans out there, but the inaction on the alleged Joy-Con “drift” issue is getting a bit too much for some.

Now the company has at least apologized for the issue, well without actually mentioning it by name. In a recent Q&A with Nintendo Japan, company president Shuntaro Furukawa said he apologizes for the inconvenience caused by… something… related to the Joy-Con.

“Regarding the Joy-Con, we apologize for any issues our customers have encountered,” Furukawa said (via Kotaku). “We continue to strive to improve our products, but since the Joy-Con is the subject of a class action lawsuit in the United States, and this is still a pending issue, we wish to refrain from responding to any specific actions.”

Furukawa did not comment further on the issue due to the ongoing class action lawsuit in the United States, which was filed in July last year and could make Nintendo liable for damages should it win in the complainants’ favour.

The reported issue results in the detachable controllers recognizing input even when players are not touching the analog stick. Anecdotal data suggests that up to a quarter of players could have the problem. Nintendo has since offered free repairs to those who contact support when the problem manifests itself.

The complaint filed against Nintendo of America reads: “The complaint filed in US District Court for the Western District of Washington alleges that the joysticks on Joy-Con controllers are defective, causing users to experience drift issues. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the joystick on the Joy-Con controllers automatically registers movement when the joystick is not controlled by the user, disrupting gameplay.

“The complaint, filed on behalf of buyers of switches and Joy-Con controllers, raises claims under various consumer protection laws, as well as various warranty and common law claims.”

Google has announced it will increase the price of YouTube TV by $15 a month, infuriating customers of the live wireless TV streaming service.

Starting today, monthly fees for new customers or the next billing cycle for existing subscribers will increase to a whopping $64.99 per month. That comes after Google increased the subscription to $49.99 from $39.99 last April.

Google says it’s not taking the decision lightly, citing the rising cost of content. However, subscribers are already reporting their displeasure on social media, and many are threatening to be fired.

“We don’t make these decisions lightly and know how difficult it is for our members,” Google said in the announcement. “However, this new price reflects the rising cost of content and we also believe it reflects the overall value of YouTube TV, from our breadth of content to the features that are transforming the way we watch live TV see.”

Google has appropriately timed the announcement to coincide with the launch of eight new channels debuting on the service today. These are BET, CMT, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Network, TV Land and VH1. They will be followed in the near future by BET Her, MTV2, MTV Classic, Nick Jr., NickToons and TeenNick as part of a broader deal with ViacomCBS.

The company also said it’s looking at more flexible models, suggesting tiered subscriptions could be coming in the near future.

“As the streaming industry evolves, we’re working to create new flexible models for YouTube TV viewers so we can continue to provide everyone in your household with a robust and innovative experience, without the commitments of traditional television,” das adds company.

YouTube TV started out as an affordable alternative to a cable and satellite TV subscription, with more flexible online viewing options, device freedom, and the ability to cancel at any time. For now, it looks like we’re heading towards price parity with the traditional cable TV platforms. What Subscribers Say:

That’s damn, when I started it was about $35. I won’t pay $65 for some channels I don’t even want, BET CMT MTV. All the junk I have to look for somewhere else $65 is double what I would want to pay for nothing

— Scott Abramczyk (@lethalgorman) June 30, 2020

That’s ridiculous. I’ve had a subscription for a year now, but I’m not going to pay $65 a month for a bunch of channels I don’t want.

— David St Hilaire (@DavidStHilaire1) June 30, 2020

I’m out. They raise the price but don’t offer packages. I spread the gospel @YouTubeTV but you keep raising prices for channels we don’t want. I can take it all with me @Hulu live at a better price. later #youtubetv

— ????????? (@qualick) June 30, 2020

It’s cheaper now to go back to cable – I didn’t think any company could screw up Internet TV so badly @ATT but @YouTubeTV made it. Congratulations.

— Mike (@Green_94) June 30, 2020

@YouTubeTV I was an early adopter and was bought in at $35 and now it’s $65, come on. That’s not why I wanted YouTube TV so I could pay $70 a month. Where is the unsubscribe button

Match preview Brighton vs Man United

This is an important game for both sides who have a lot at stake in the drawn-out finale of the season. United have impressed since the restart and a win tonight will see the Red Devils keep the pressure on Leicester, Chelsea, Wolves and Spurs, who are among the sides vying for European places.

United, currently sixth, know even a fifth-place finish could put them in the Champions League pending Manchester City’s appeal of a two-year ban on the competition for financial fair play violations.

Brighton also had a profitable return to action. Four points out of a possible six saw Graham Potter’s men grab a bit of respite from the bottom five. A few more wins for the Seagulls should ensure they return to the top flight next season.

Epic Games has announced that Fortnite is finally leaving Early Access as it plans major changes to Save The World and other parts of the gaming blockbuster.

After bursting onto the scene in 2017, despite amassing millions of players and evolving by adding several new seasons, Fortnite continues to possess an “Early Access” tag on all of its loading screens. Epic Games has confirmed that this will change soon.

Epic Games published on the official website and confirmed that Save The World, the PvE component of Fortnite, will remain a premium experience and not be switched to free-to-play as many expected. Instead, the development of this mode will be discontinued as the focus is more on Battle Royale and regular seasonal updates.

“Fortnite has continued to evolve since development began, and so much has changed over the years as we’ve played and developed the game with you,” the post reads. “As we approach the third anniversary of the release of Fortnite and Save the World, we wanted to share an update on our development plans.”

“Today we are pulling Save the World out of Early Access and have decided that it will remain a premium experience rather than going free-to-play. New content development will slow down after this official release, but the Save the World adventure doesn’t end there.”

Save The World’s main narrative is complete, and given that it has a fraction of the popularity of battle royale, it’s understandable that Epic Games would want to shift its efforts to other areas in the future. That doesn’t mean fans of the mode are left completely out in the cold, however.

All Founder’s Packs will be updated, which will include additional rewards. Those who earn the coveted Ultimate Edition will earn 8000 V-Bucks and the Metal Team Leader Pack. Epic has said that Battle Royale cosmetics will stop working in Save The World after a certain point, so prepare for that eventuality.

Fortnite: Chapter 2 – Season 3 arrived in the last few weeks, bringing with it a new Battle Pass, a changed map, and more advancements in the world’s overarching narrative. The map is now awash, with more emphasis on water traversal and avoiding deadly new threats like sharks and gangs of enemy mercenaries.
