Report about Zoom to Hybrid Meetings
by Tom Piper, Coordinator
This Apple World User Group University online gathering of Apple user group
leaders was held at 5:00pm CDST, on August 16, 2021, via Zoom. We had 31
participants for the topic of “Zoom to Hybrid Meetings”. The 67-minute video
can be viewed at: https://youtu.be/0LSk9kYlxTI <https://youtu.be/0LSk9kYlxTI>
(unlisted on YouTube).
This session opened with my welcome, plus a quick review of the meeting
protocols. Doug Smith, Chair of the Apple User Group Advisory Board (AUGAB)
members was present to support this call.
The first presentation described how my appleJAC User Group uses Facebook
streaming instead of Zoom during face-to-face meetings. Next was Andy Suhaka of
the MacinTech Users Group in Centennial, CO who described how they used Meeting
Owl for a hybrid meeting. This was followed by Hope Tillman of the Apple
Charlestown UG in Catonsville, MD talked about using an iPhone and Mac
combination to use Zoom at their in-person meeting. Pete DeLong of
Anoka-Hennepin Apple Core MUG in Anoka, MN who illustrated their use of a Mac
connected to a Movo microphone and large-screen projector to hold their hybrid
meetings. Numerous others joined in this discussion to gather more information.

Concerns about frauds, scams and hoaxes was discussed with some presenters
identified who could provide good preventive information, such as the FBI,
AARP, and Jamie Sorrells, Asst. District Attorney, 18th Judicial Dist.
Colorado, but most felt it was a better topic for local groups. How to attract
new members to user groups was also discussed and selected as the topic for our
next meeting, to be called “AUG Marketing”, which is tentatively scheduled for
October 18, 2021, at 5:00pm Central Daylight Savings Time.
AWUGU registrants will receive an invitation to all future meetings. To become
