Some institutions and companies (especially ones related to entertainment etc.) decided to provide their services free of charge online during the epidemic.

This thread is to collect them in one place, so you know what you can do for free online while staying at home.

this is a good idea, with people in isolation it's important that people stay connected to each other in some way, weither it phone calls, video calls etc etc and it's also important to be stimulated and entertained

"During this unprecedented time in history, access to printed books is becoming difficult or impossible. COVID-19 is forcing students, educators, and everyday readers to rely on digital books more than ever before. That’s why the Internet Archive has temporarily suspended all waitlists, allowing you to immediately check out any of the 1.4 million books currently in our lending library. Until June 30th or the end of the US national emergency (whichever comes later), every borrowable book will be immediately accessible by anyone—creating, in effect, a National Emergency Library."
