[Colorado-Talk] A Quick Zoom Reference And A Security Tip For Those Hosting Meetings

[Amy Sabo]

hello david and all,
first of all thanks for the reminder on the muting and the raise hand
gesture. I knew of it but, reminders are always good since we had that
problem a little bit last night during opening ceremonies.

as for the security thing for phone numbers I totally agree on that
and, i'am sure that paul and the zoom crew took this suggestion
already and, have done it but, thanks for reminding him on this list.

i'am glad that you decided to put this out on the security of phone
numbers I don't want other people's numbers to come out in the zoom
land,. I wish that this was done when the nfb did national convention
this summer. oh well! maybe others who do their state conventions in
other affilates will take this suggestion.

again, thanks for the information as always and, I will see you at the
virtual nfb of co state convention this weekend.


sincerely,
amy
