Everyone is using zoom, fitness instructors, yoga teachers etc. It works and can take a lot of people on each call. Just beware it's in the press for security issues and now even being called malware. |

Absolutely this!! Security issues all over it. Anyone who values their discretion wouldn’t touch this app with a 40 foot barge pole. When the intelligence services in the British army say they aren’t using it for “security reasons” then that’s enough for me  |

"Anyone use this app? Is it effective? I'm thinking of using it to do a 20 minute or so coaching session with players. Keep them active. "

It's only new to me but yes i heard of insecurities also, hijacking etc. Apparently there is a few ways of securing it but after reading what your saying is makimg me think twice now. |

Many have raised issues about Zoom's security. Malware seems a little harsh, but it's not as secure as other platforms
I'd be confident that houseparty is no better. Not sure how many people a Skype meeting can take or what Google Hangouts can do |

I certainly wouldn't have a sex party on it god no lol. Definitely worse that just using it for general use. Well maybe for you cam lovers, i would glady be a good voyeur at it.  |

Microsoft Teams or Google Classroom much better and much less hassle for joining parties.
Tried Zoom during the week and, without going into specific configuration details, all I can say is it's a pain in the ass! |

"Does anyone know if there's a user limit on Skype?
I've no idea why people are suddenly flocking to Zoom"
Skype has a user limit but it's huge. In my old company we would hold "Town Halls" on it, worldwide we would have maybe 500 on a call. Now I haven't used it in over 6 months and since covid kicked in it may be used a heck of a lot more so th only issue you may have would be stability, but as they say, you won't know until you try   |

"Use in work for conferencing, very good tool. Everybody seems to be jumping on board with it"
Yes and the security issues are being resolved, passwords. I think it's great, no trouble with it. |
