Everything seemed to be working fine - however as I was setting up
my profile I got the following message <br></div><div> <br></div><div> [Uplevel Your Meetings with Zoom Pro<br></div><div> Your Zoom Basic plan has a <b>40-minute time limit </b>on meetings

It is a shame that Zoom is becoming the standard, but if we didn't
want that we should have been born into a different timeline.

So far it only works for me on my mac laptop in the Chrome browser. It doesn't work for me in Firefox, but I have so many security- and privacy-protecting browser extensions loaded that it's not surprising, and I haven't actually tried to get it working on Linux.

(That does not mean I am announcing that we are holding the KWLUG
meeting on Zoom. I just wanted to answer Doug's question.)
