    Hi, I've a grand mother 94 or 95. She is home alone in rural Ireland for some time (with Wifi). I'd love to be able to send her vids every now and again. I was initially thinking of something like whatapp/skype video messages rather than something live... but live is ok too.

    She has a mobile, but not a smart one. She used to have skype on the TV, but that sort of stuff is gone nowadays and it was live only.

    BK has pointed me to https://nucleuslife.com/ which is ok. It says its for US/Canada... but it should work here... its probably just a delivery thing.

    I'd love the idea of being able to push content to her; like the odd podcast or video message or perhaps youtube video.

    Any recommendations?

    [edit] Perhaps I should have an android tablet with ok google on it...

    My mother is in her 80s and i send her telegram videos.

    She plays Scrabble with me on line too.

    Scrabble was the key to getting her online as she was always interested in it anyway.
