Use of Video Chat/Conference Calls

Use of Video CallsUntil the beginning of our on-line teaching to many of us, the term “Zoom” referred to an album by that famous American funk and soul band the Commodores from the 1980s.  However, in just a short time, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google  Meet and any of the other remote conferencing platforms are now a part of our everyday conversations.  Like any other new technological tool, the natural inclination is to try to apply them to all parts of our lives.  So it is just natural that some might even wonder can they be used to conduct membership meetings.  The short answer is no, just Google “Zoom” or any of the other conferencing platforms and read the numerous horror stories about them from hacking to violations of confidentiality.
