[nesfa-reading-group] I'd like to experiment with Zoom

What time should I schedule a meeting (my first time) with a few of you so
we can see what kinds of features I have and how to use them?

I watched a few videos on how to manage things and I created an "Immediate"
connection to Leah here at home to see if it works.  I was surprised that a
lot of things were missing, but when I went into my (huge!) settings page,
I found all sorts of things (like Yes/No voting and other things we used in
the NESFA meetings so far) that were turned off by default. I turned a
bunch of them on.

So what I'd like to do is schedule a meeting for the first time with at
least two other people (three or four would be better) and to walk through
to test features:

   - Co-hosts (there seems to be no limit)
   - Host passing -- I can give away the host position, but as owner I can
   take it back, but there can be only one host with my license.
   - Breakout rooms
   - Chat, single, multiple, pictures, videos, etc.
   - screen sharing -- AND the annotation features that allow you to write
   and draw over shared images to demonstrate or highlight something
   - voting, handsup, etc.  -- and the host controls to clear and count
   them.

We did some of this in the NESFA meeting, but I not only want to stress my
license (very different from MIT's), but there are some things we couldn't
do in a large group.  Breakout rooms have some odd characteristics I'd like
to experiment with.

So, can we do this later tonight sometime?  Tomorrow is a NESFA meeting, so
if not tonight, maybe Thursday evening?
