This is a list of the tools that we use and a quick introduction to them as well.
The host of a meeting is responsible for sending out calendar invites to attendees by email. The calendar invite shall include the correct time, specify location (if physical location) or if it will be on Zoom (if the meeting is a video call) and an agenda in the notes. Go here to see how we conduct video calls.
We use Slack for chat and overall coommunication within the company.

File sharing
We use zoom as our default video call tool because simply it does the job in everything from small one on one meetings to large meetings.
The important thing is that everyone use the same tool so we don't waste time agreeing upon and installing various video call tools.
Sign up at the Zoom website and remember to use your creditstretcher email.

For sharing of sensitive data like passwords or certificates we use Wickr. In general it should be used for things that you would like to share with your colleagues but you know is sensitive.
Wickr is a military grade end to end encrypted instant communication tool where you can set the messages to be deleted after e.g. 24 hours. That way it is highly secure to send data here.
Ask David Møller for an invite and follow the instructions (takes 10 min)
