If you're considering using Zoom, you need to be aware of a growing
problem with it--Zoombombing.
Troublemakers break into a session and disrupt it with porn, obscene
talk, and whatever else comes to their tiny, diseased minds.
You'd have to be sure you have it all locked down.
Here's a reference article in the New York Times.

You can read a limited number of articles per month.<br>
But Glen's description pretty well covers the article so your not
missing much.<br>
<br>
here are some observations on my limited interaction with video
conferencing.<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Webex: I have had lots of luck with Webex ... all bad.
I got to the point where I would refuse to join a webex on
anything other than a telephone.<br>
<br>
Google Hangouts: They worked reasonably well but of late I cannot
get audio to work properly on any of my linux systems. My major
client has moved to ring-central because of a 50 participant limit
on Hangouts.<br>
<br>
Microsoft Teams Meeting: It seems to work reasonably well for
small numbers. I have not been part of a large conference so I am
not sure how well it scales.<br>

Since we are an open-source(ish) community I would suggest that we
try and find an open-source solution.<br>
<br>
It may be worth picking a couple of possible solutions and then try
running meetings with each one and rate the quality.<br>
