[dba-Tech] Free online meeting software

[fhtapia at gmail.com]

Having used Skype for work for a long time, it caused performance
issues for most users who need to present and record a session.
Sometimes just presenting a screen share that causes the issues. We
moved to Teams this year and we have had less audio, video or pc
problems using Teams.

No issues using Google Meets ;) lol. and our IT dept doesn't want
us using Zoom, though my wife and kids use it for all their school
stuff (but they have a paid version)
