My wife is music director of a small church that uses Zoom. Every Sunday Zoom malfunctions, including stranding some in the waiting room and, most annoyingly, making them unable to un-mute. If you’ve used Zoom you know what I mean.

She uses computer sound for the recordings of the virtual chamber orchestra I direct; that works well. Then she has a ‘Zoom choir’ that does songs one line per person. Finally she uses Acapella to prepare the choir anthem.

But Zoom has ruined parts of almost every service!

What might be better? GoToMeeting? Skype? Google Meet (new)?

Ideas most welcome. This is getting undignified. Thanks.
