Group meetings via computer?

You've probably tried Skype to "video chat" with someone.

• It's free for one-to-one chatting.
• Both parties need to download and install Skype.
• Both parties need to "friend" each other and know each others Skype name.
• Some (very old) computers cannot run the current version of Skype.
• To have a group get together via video-call requires that one person have a paid premium account.

Minutes in a Minute?

Do you ever get tasked with "taking the minutes" at a meeting? I sure do!

I am going to try out this browser-based (and free) possibility to see how it works.

https://minutes.io

According to the website, you can use this DURING the meeting... it's designed that way. And, it can even be used without internet connection, so that if you're in a meeting where the wifi is iffy... it's not a big deal. Take minutes and have them go out once you connect.

Sounds pretty simple... let us know how it works for you!
