Wow, I just logged on and the response and interest seems to be high. This is no April fools joke guys. I was just SO disappointed that York and our Dinner was cancelled, I wanted to find a way to connect with my OGF Family. I've been using Zoom to hold virtual meetings with my train club – our facility has been closed until this CONVID-19 nonsense blows over. Zoom is a great application, and it work best on a laptop. However you can put it on any laptop, phone or tablet. It is easy to use and install. You don't even need to turn your camera on if you're shy. You can just listen and speak. You can choose a gallery view to see everyone if you wish though. My wife has been using it to connect with her 75 students once a week. The video meeting can only last 40 minutes max on my end because I'm using the free version right now. So YES, if you can, have your train room in the background. Show us what you're running now and why you like it. I will moderate the discussion. Adam, your questions are good ones! I just may steal some! It will really depend on how many people log on as to what we can accomplish. But heck, let's try something NEW and EXCITING! You can download Zoom here: zoom.us

Trey, thanks for putting this together. It sounds like it should be a lot of fun.
I think I've got it on my computer but I'll find out for sure tomorrow. I did get the page asking for the meeting code so I think I'm good.

Sounds great, but I'm going to pass. I don't want anything else on my plate.

Today is the day and I am looking forward to seeing you all tonight. I have heard so much about ZOOM and this will be my first time. I want to set this up for my family so we can be together on a video stream. We have been having driveway visits but the kids that live out of town we haven't seen since early March.

Definitive do that Wood. We have been using video chat to connect with remote family and it has made this experience a bit more bearable. There is another nice option by Google called DUO. I use it with my brother and it is very easy and reliable. It allows for smaller groups of up to 12 people. If you already have a Google account, it may be an option.

Owners IPad is what ours says. At least we got audio and video. We will get some help from my kids so it works okay next time.
Nice crowd here.

Thanks for organizing this Trey. It was fun and nice to meet some forum members. I look forward to the next session. As suggested, we might get more members if we do it on a weekend afternoon.
