[sword-devel] SWORD Virtual Coffee/Tea (Using Jitsi)

[David Haslam]

9pm CEST is 7pm GMT.

I will be at my church for the 6pm evening service that finishes towards 7pm.

I may therefore join late after I get home or perhaps on time if I can connect to a WiFi network in Cheadle.

9pm CEST is 1pm in Nashville, TN - near where my daughter now lives.

For future reference, this website can help when announcing an international online video conferencing meeting.

>> As if we need another solutions, to throw another hat in the ring, we use Google Meet often for our team meetings. It is free for "100 participants, and for up to 60 minutes per meeting," can be used simply in the browser without installing any app, anyone can join if you give out a simple link to the meeting. It works pretty well.

>> I've had trouble with Teams and "external" accounts, recently. I received a meeting link, and when I clicked it, it asked me to sign on to my "Microsoft" account... one option was to use my Skype ID, which I did have, so I used that, and then Microsoft asked for an email. After I provided my email, I received notice that my Skype ID had been changed to my email address!!! On top of all that, when I proceeded to sign in for the Teams meeting, it wouldn't let me join because it said my "company is not a member of Teams" and asked me to sign my "company" up for Teams. We gave up and I sent a Google Meet link.

>> Please know I want to be there on Sunday and I'll try to show up if I happen to be someplace with network access at the time of our meeting.

>> Tobias, this is your good initiative, just pick a technology and post the details to join. We can learn from the experience and adapt if necessary for the next time.
