[NABS-L] Questions about Facebook and Zoom

Fri Dec 11 18:15:20 UTC 2020

I’ve done significantly long videos both live and from the camera roll, both have been uploaded fine. I am pretty sure,  like more than 99 1/2% sure, that zoom can be accessed from all over the world – as there is a link for international dialing locations. Happy Hanukkah and merry Christmas to all!

> Yeah I believe you can post a long video of five minutes or more on Facebook. I’m not totally sure about the answer to your zoom question but I think they would be able to access the same link. Thanks and have a great day

>> My music school will be holding a virtual end-of-the-year recital next Wednsday, and I was thinking about inviting my friends and family to the Zoom call so they can here me playing the piano. However, some of my relatives live in France, and I'd like to know if Zoom is supported internationally or only in the United States. For one thing, the main domain name for Zoom is "zoomddus" rather than discom or disorg like most websites. In addition, every single time I've received an email invitation to a Zoom call, they always list phone numbers where you can dial in from different US area codes, but they never say anything about joining in from another country. So I was just curious whether anyone has insite on this. I did join a Zoom information session about my potential graduate school aab a month ago, and there were actually a lot of international participants on that call, but I'm not sure if they joined from the same link as me or if it was different.
>> 
>> Similarly, I also plan to post the video of my performance on Facebook for anyone who is unable to attend the recital. However, I'm wondering whether Facebook would allow me to post the video. I have watched very short videos and some longer ones on Facebook, although the latter is usually from people going live. When posting videos directly from my phone camera, I really don't know whether Facebook would allow me to do so, since the video I made is approximately five minutes long (I found out it's 293 MB in size, including both the sound and image).
>> 
>> I hope someone can shed some light on either or both of these two queries for me.
