A great idea Terry and very innovative, tried to drop in today but zoom will not work for me. I am trying to work it out.
The issue is my end as I have tried before to no avail.
There is a browser only option for Zoom, meaning you don't have to download the Zoom client onto your computer which may be part of your issue.
If you follow the link for the meeting it will open a web page in your browser. if you click on Launch Meeting it will try and start the Zoom client, but it also pops up an extra option on the web page to launch the browser only interface.
I am currently in a Google Meet meeting at the moment and the Free option there allows for 1 hour meetings, Zoom only has 40 minute fee meetings, so we might try out that service another time.
