Slightly more off topic on an off topic subject.

ZOOM - anyone use the tele-conferencing app on Windows platforms had any bad experiences with it ? (security issues etc).
I've been using Skype since it came into being, but a couple of friends from the UK have asked me if I had it installed.
Essentially I'd want to use it with no more than 5-6 participants at a time - not your Nuremberg rally level of participation.
Be interested if anyone has positive or negative experiences with it.
I use it regulary

Its ok, but I prefer Teams personally as video and sound quality seem better (but thats through a work 365 account so might have a turbo version)

Oh and I use it for around 7 people often which is fine, soon doing one for 25 so that might be awkward
Not sure how formal your use will be but the ‘hand up’ option on zoom fit when people want to speak is a good feature as it can’t take much speaking over each other so just cuts people out
Need a bit of discipline

Cheers. It'll not be formal - drinking mates & football team mates or ex-colleagues mainly. Occationally my hareem members :emoticon-0105-wink:
