[NLRS] NLRS Saturday morning breakfast via Zoom

[Rob Jahnke]

Yes, that is correct. But they create a "cryptic" password, but the host
can go into the settings for the meeting  and permanently change the
password to something like "nlrs" or whatever you want. You can then send
invites for the same meeting  ID every day/week/month and re-use the same
meeting ID and the new permanent password. I have "scoped this out" because
I have been meeting with my Granddaughter (8) in Madison several times a
week 😀
