Zoom works well ... we had set up (paid for) "Zoom room" setups in both
our research conference room and clinical meeting room (opposite ends of
JHU SOM campus). Useful to have one person 'at the console' in whatever
zoom room is the host.

We've been using Zoom in a collaborative lab meeting with colleagues in
New Mexico for many months - works fine.

Each zoom room has a generic 6-digit ID. Specific meetings can be added
with specific ID for just that meeting (i.e. weekly recurrent lab meeting).

Last week I attended a virtual mini-symposium by Agilent ("Cell
Analysis" portfolio) that had been changed from in person to online.
Zoom worked fine for me at home (free to end users). Only minor glitch
was one presenter had a poor voice-by-laptop (kept breaking up) - they
ended up silencing their laptop microphone and calling in to the meeting
phone number.

p.s. Zoom meetings can be saved to video file.
