[NABS-L] Questions about Facebook and Zoom

[Gene Kim]

Hey Sami,

I can confirm yes to both of your questions! I've posted videos on Facebook
that are longer than 5 minutes before (I was using a laptop but I'd be
surprised if it didn't work via phone) and I've had zoom meetings where
international participants have joined using a zoom link that had zoom.us
in the domain. I have definitely seen zoom invitations that include an
international dial in numbers along with the domestic ones, but I think
that perk is reserved for top-paying premium account holders which is why
you may not have seen it included in many invitations.

Best of luck preparing for the recital!

Kindly,
Gene
