A7CA Zooms into the 21st century today!

[Tony Press]

Having read Tony's comment, I looked back at the images that were posted and pretty much everyone seemed to have their given name displayed. I would imagine that that name is defaulted to a system setting (dependant on the platform being used), but there is the ability in Zoom to change the default that it otherwise uses if it is felt needed.

However, in the meeting, it was clear who the attendees were and, as with a 'normal' A7CA meeting, all the delegates were introduced and said hello. I think it unlikely anyone would want to conceal their identity.

As has been said before, this was a remarkably succesful meeting - even more so considering it was the first time we had attempted it. In light of experience,  we are already talking about changing certain things to permit even more peope to take part in the future. We saved a huge amount of fuel and people didn't have to get out of bed in the early hours to drive to and from Dunchurch, saving them hours in their day (for example, it saved me getting on for 4 hours of driving). At least one person attended their first meeting in 15 years and there were other who had never been able to attend.  This has the potential to be a huge step forward for the Association and its member Clubs and Registers and is ony to be encourgaged...

I am sorry if my comment offended- as I said "A brilliant solution and so much easier than driving" . 

I was more directing my comment generally - given the sometimes haphazard camera placement it is often difficult to recognise people - how some use a phone for Zoom contact amazes me - I need the full desktop 24" screen and my glasses   Age must be catching up
