[W5SFA] Zoom?

[Roger Klein]

Thanks Dave – I didn’t read closely enough!

 

Dan – unfortunately looks like Facetime is Apple only, so that’s not going to work…

Zoom is also free.  Free version limits you to host + 9 attendees, and meeting length less/equal 40 minutes.

I just use Apple Face Time. It’s already paid for and does the same thing.  Dan, W5AOV

Jim, I know lots of folks areusing Zoom, though I have not done so myself.  My opinion is that if we do start having face-to-face meetings or gatherings in person, there will be folks who will not feel comfortable doing so.  So I think we have to either host zoom from a laptop, or continue to have an on-the-air component so the remote folks can stay plugged in to what’s going on.

                                                                                                                                                                                    

Zoom costs $15/month to host meetings up to 100 participants, but that is not really a big deal if we only use it for a few months.  It has the advantage of being able to run presentations.

 

We’ll see what other members have to say…

Carol and I attend church, master gardener class, yoga, a business networking club and even a weekly virtual happy hour with friends via Zoom.  I've never set one up myself, but they are extremely easy to use as a participant.  Perhaps that's a safe all-weather club meeting option as well for those that "need to see"?

Jim
