Let's share a Zoom account
Details
Dear organizers,
Wishing you all are fine and well during physical distancing and working from home.
To ensure local meetup communities can continue on during COVID-19, many meetup groups are going online using platforms such as Google Hangout, Skype and Zoom.
If you haven't used zoom, you can check out more below:
https://zoom.us/
Zoom offers a 40 minute trial before kicking people out.
A growing number of organizers are looking at getting a paid plan and we are in the process of setting up a shared account for local organizers wishing to get the Zoom pro benefits without having to pay as much.
Recommended use is for the participating groups to continue their most popular weekly meetings (eg. Monday boardgames) over zoom. Participating groups will be assigned a day of the week and the Zoom account will be distributed among the participating groups.
if you are interested in being part of the shared Zoom pool, feel free to respond here or send me a message for further discussion.
Alternatively, if you are looking for a 24/7 solution, we have our 24/7 Vancouver Meetup Community channel for organizers and their members to connect with one another.
Disclaimer:
Since January 2019, Meetup.com has discontinued its in person organizers training program but has graciously kept this group up for local organizer discussions. This community initiative is operated by local meetup organizers and not Meetup.com. All costs associated (eg. food, events and stationaries) are covered by local volunteer organizers at their own dime.
