It would be awesome to hear from some of these groups here on this list. How
may members tend to show up for these video meetings? How are things working
technically with the chats? What are Mac users grappling with during these
difficult times?
Since Zoom seems to be very popular, you should all know that there have been
serious concerns about Zoom's security. Here is an excellent article, from
TidBits, detailing the problems and work-arounds:

An interesting potential alternative has just appeared. Skype has rolled out
"Skype Meet Now" which doesn't require any sign-up or installation:
