If you Teams I don't think Skype for Business works anymore but the personal Skype still does.

I can't get Skype to work -- something about Skype for Business and I've never been able to fix it.

Teams limit? How many participants are you expecting?

Skype still works a charm. Everyone thinks "oh, that's old fashioned", lol!
That just means it has more experience. I've been installing and supporting video conferencing this year more than I care too and have used many different tools to do it. Skype is cross platform, worked as well as any of them and better than most. Oh, for what it's worth, I hadn't used skype before this year either, I don't like video conferencing and rarely do I allow the video feed from my camera during these things.

Otherwise free Zoom with the Rocky touch, lol.

Can any of you recommend good online meeting software for a non-profit with almost no budget? I do have MS Teams, so we might end  up there, but it limits me to the number of participants outside the org, so I don't think it's going to work. Would like some other options to recommend. 

Slack is the only thing I know of. 

Thanks!
