Hi,
Due to today's and past problem with the phone line, we wondered if another venue for the weekly call would provide better quality, while still being a stable solution.
Google Hangouts in particular were mentioned. The most severe limitation that came up in today's discussion (in such a hangout) was the limit to 10 participants. We rarely, but sometimes, exceed that. Another potential down-side is that you might have to use (and thus, have) an account with Google.
It is also not clear whether this limit applies to audio-only calls, or only for video. We don't need video. Does anyone know what the limits are?
Before we try switching to a Google Hangout as regular venue for the call, we would like to ask the community:
- Would this be a prevent *you* from calling in? If so, why?
- Are there any other potential down-sides we might not have thought of?
- Are there better alternatives?
