I use Zoom with my clients a lot, but I appreciate that it isn't really in the spirit of the GLUG to be using such non-Free Software. I've had a bit of a play with Jitsi-Meet, which shows promise, but I feel it's "not quite there" yet.

I saw the screen and input OK when
I joined meeting by using the URL at about 18.55 on 20200325.
Worked OK, but I assume you need to give us a time & Date for us to join
for mutual meeting.

I thought it was kinda implied by the "prior to Saturday 28th at 1200" bit. ;-)

Grant. :-D
