[ETS/PARC List] Using "Zoom"

[Chris Fine]

Great idea Pete - I can endorse Zoom as well. It’s easy to install and works well.  If we are still isolated in April it’s worth trying. We could use the repeater as a backup tech support channel to help anyone who has difficulty getting on Zoom. 

As Pete says, Zoom works on smartphones, but it also works on computers, tablets and even landline phones (although on a landline you only get audio).

In the longer run, maybe we could use Zoom to make the meeting available to members who can’t attend. That’s another use for it. 

Best to all and 73,
Chris
