Joke about this if you like but these programs are not offered out of charity.
Nope you need to pay for using Zoom if your conference is over 40 minutes long. Plans start from £12 to £16 per month, not cheap.
The fact the UK government used Zoom to host their virtual cabinet meeting gives me some faith in it.

I believe that recordings on Zoom are the property of zoom and they can do what they like with the data. (Must be true, I read it in Private Eye!).
A conspiracy theorist might say that now the Chinese have destroyed "the west" with only 6000 Chinese deaths - which is a cheap war in human terms, they could now go for our economies with a computer virus!

Back on topic. The Norfolk Honey Company (Stuart Spinks) does some decent videos. Are there other that are worth watching for the beginner?

Simple solution.....don't use the recording mode in Zoom.
I don't think they need a computer virus to wreck our economy's, their coronavirus has done a pretty good job on that..

Lovely online meeting tonight via Zoom with Tees Bees. Talk by Dr Margarita Gomez Escalada on propolis, very good .....with the proviso it cures everything from bad teeth to cancer /sly grin/.
But seriously very interesting stuff about a hive product that is poorly understood.
Good to see online tools being used constructively.
