Hi Maureen
I'd be interested in participating.  But not sure if I am a paid up
member or not!  Are you able to check?
ThanksWendy

Hello fellow wamuggers
I hope you are all keeping safe and well. The events of the last five
months have certainly resulted in changes to our lifestyles and
behaviours. Hopefully, it will not be too long before we can resume
those parts of our lives that we miss the most.
With the restrictions on meetings of no more than two people, the
WAMUG committee has had to cancel our General and Committee
meetings.  That’s when the idea of using Zoom, the video
conferencing panacea to Covid -19 iso, for our committee meeting
evolved. We had a go and soon realised the potential of this app,
especially for our General meetings.  Having Zoom meetings would
allow any member to participate no matter where they live. 
So, we want to have an 'exploratory' Zoom session with more than just
five people, and we need some volunteers. If you can help out by
participating, we would love to hear from you. 
THE SESSION WILL TAKE PLACE NEXT TUESDAY, 12 MAY AT 7:30 PM AND WILL
LAST FOR 40 MINUTES. 
There is no need to sign up to Zoom. Participants will receive an
email link to the meeting, a Meeting ID and Password. Added to this
security is the fact that the meeting host, Peter Hinchcliff, has to
'admit' members. (Does that means he is a digital bouncer).  With
extra numbers, we will be able to get a better feel of how Zoom works
rather than relying on Youtube faux pas and media reported failures
and from your feedback see if it is worth pursuing further.
If you would like to participate, please email me.  We are limiting
this session to 12 paid up members, so first in best dressed. 
Thank you in anticipation and remain safe.
Kind regards,Maureen Smith

Re: Can you zoom into help?

[Neil Houghton]

Hi all,

 

Being down here in Albany, I could never attend meetings in Perth – so I would 
definitely be interested in online meetings - but are you all happy with the 
security issues of Zoom? eg these articles:

 
Who has banned Zoom? Google, NASA, and more 
https://www.techrepublic.com/article/who-has-banned-zoom-google-nasa-and-more/
Using Zoom while working from home? Here are the privacy risks to watch out for 
https://www.cnet.com/news/using-zoom-while-working-from-home-here-are-the-privacy-risks-to-watch-out-for/
Zoom security issues: Zoom could be vulnerable to foreign surveillance, intel 
report says 
https://www.cnet.com/news/zoom-security-issues-zoom-could-be-vulnerable-to-foreign-surveillance-intel-report-says/
 

Among other problems, they talk about malicious agents being able to gain 
access, on Macs, to the computer camera and mic. However, I have never really 
looked at or tried Zoom – so the security steps you mentioned may well avoid 
most of the risks – and I would be happy to participate in the trial on Tuesday.

 

As I understand it, there are several different ways for me to do this:
Desktop computer or tablet/smartphone
Dedicated desktop/ios software or via web browser – Safari or Firefox?
 

Are there any particular setups which you have tried/not tried or 
recommend/don’t recommend?

 

My main IMac is currently out of action and I am working from my (older) 2nd 
iMac – so my available options are probably:
iMac (24-inch, Mid 2007) – El Capitan 10.11.6 – Zoom desktop app
iMac (24-inch, Mid 2007) – El Capitan 10.11.6 – FirefoxESR web session via 
https://join.zoom.us/
iMac (24-inch, Mid 2007) – El Capitan 10.11.6 – Safari web session via 
https://join.zoom.us/
iPad4 – IOS 10.3.4 – Zoom IOS app
iPad4 – IOS 10.3.4 – Safari web session via https://join.zoom.us/
 

Any thoughts as to which might be best or any to avoid?

 

Cheers

 

 

Neil

Re: Can you zoom into help?

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Maureen, since I have being WFH been using Microsoft Teams for work
related meetings some audio only, others video and audio with numerous
screen shares to expand visibility to all attendees. Teams (an MS
version of ZOOM I understand) has been an overnight sensation really.
I can see the benefit for the WAMUG meetings too. For me, as I live in
Mandurah and use public transport to commute to the city it has been
impossible to make the WAMUG meetings but I have wanted on occasion to
get to one to see what they're like.  
Please include me for the invite to next Tuesdays' meeting - if I an
in the first 12.
Will it be an Audio only session or video included - it's just I may
have to dust of my WCE shirt if video included ha ha.

Kind Regards

Peter Crisp
