[Trainer-Talk] Seeking options for remote iOS training

[Wayne Merritt]

Thanks guys for the feedback. I have done some research, and as yet
have not found a solution. A colleague and I tried using Google
Hangouts, but we came across the same issue, where VoiceOver speech is
muted when on the call. In other words, I could not hear my
colleague's VoiceOver. I was pleasantly surprised to have such great
audio on a Hangout call. I was also pleased to see that my Google
voice number showed up automatically in Hangouts, but still looking
for a solution to the initial problem.

Be well,
Wayne
