<p><font face="Calibri">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.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">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.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">Skype is also good for smaller groups, and
is a Microsoft product.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">For Mac-based people, there's Facetime, also
for smaller groups. This is free and works on phones, tablets,
and Mac laptops.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">My experience. Your mileage will probably
vary.</font></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.?
