I am pleased to announce that registration for virtualUKNOF July 2020
(taking place on 20th July) is now open. The meeting will take place
as a Zoom webinar and registration is required to participate.
The meeting will only be broadcast live over Zoom and each registrant
will receive a unique Zoom access link.
Hi Denesh,
Sounds great - as always many thanks for organising.
Can I ask about two issues which are recurrent across many online events
at the moment?
1. do they support clientless access or are you stuck with having to
install a local client of some form? Zoom seems to require a browser
plug-in to work on a browser, and these plugins don't work on all
systems. By comparison, lots of other online systems support webrtc
(e.g. uberconference, bluejeans and piles of others).
2. why does zoom / webex / etc need to know who we are? I really don't
want the conferencing system to know who I am.
I know these are awkward questions, but if online video conferences are
going to be the thing for the next while, maybe we need to get these
things out into the open and take a good look at them.
Nick
