Hi Clint,
Yes, currently using Zoom. In the past, we've also used GoToMeeting.
Very similar (they all are), but Zoom has a feature (Polls) we needed
for doing club business.
We made the switch to Zoom only last September, and none of the
presentations since then included a video with sound. But, I don't
expect there would be any issues doing so. I recommend you do a quick
test before hand, just to familiarize yourself with the interface. You
might grab one of the free accounts as a surrogate "conference host", so
you can try it locally.
Others have given some good tips (thanks! I learned a few things). This
may be platform dependent (I'm on Linux), but one additional tip is to
share the entire screen, not just the application (Power Point, or
whatever). When you start the Slide Show, that's considered a different
"application", so you may be looking at the slide show, but everyone
else is still seeing the application in edit mode. Also, do get the
native application. You can do most things through just the web
interface (including screen sharing), but some things aren't available.
Consider the web interface as a backup.
Good luck, and have fun.
