<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Probably the easiest to
setup, and free is Jitsi. I haven't used it much and I'm not sure
how the quality is, but its is definitely easy to use. For
instance just go to:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://meet.jit.si/hidden-discuss/hidden-discuss">https://meet.jit.si/hidden-discuss/hidden-discuss</a> and then invite
other people. It works best in Chrome (unfortunately, I like
Firefox </font><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> a lot
better for general browsing because the interface is way better).<br>

<p>Zoom works fairly flawlessly and I feel is certainly worth the
$15/mo price tag. I'm sure many people will sign up and perhaps
when the crises is over probably half will cancel.</p>
<p>Hangouts works well for smaller groups, though it's confusing
in that there's a company-level Hangout, and a personal Chrome
Hangouts, which is a Chrome Extension.</p>
<p>Skype is also good for smaller groups, and is a Microsoft
product.</p>
<p>For Mac-based people, there's Facetime, also for smaller
groups. This is free and works on phones, tablets, and Mac
laptops.<br>

<p>My experience. Your mileage will probably vary.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In the current climate, organizations are
doing more virtual meetings. Because the length of our
meetings tends to be more than 40 minutes, using Zoom for me
would require a paid subscription; the next level above
"Free" is $15/month. Someone suggested Google Hangouts. Is
there also a threshold between free and paid? If there is,
what is the basis? Number of participants, duration of
conference, etc.? What's your experience? </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for any info. Private response is
OK, although perhaps other Hidden-Techies are facing the
