I have now installed Skype again and it is working well. Then, after the
comments about Zoom I have installed that too. They both seem to be
working OK. Although with Zoom I am not yet sure how to test it.

So now what? Is the group going to use either one to sometimes set up a
conference? We won't be able to have our normal meetings, will we? Or
should we be satisfied with the usual emails?

And can one of the Zoom users suggest how I can check it is set up right
please?

Happy for you to jump on a test call. My personal meeting number is 3786676706

Grant.
