Zoom Again

When is it worth having a Zoom meeting in 2023?

I admit that I don’t prefer Zooming to in-person meetings. However, there are several situations when I think that Zooming is better than any alternative, and we can take advantage of our new skills in video conferencing.

  1. Distance. If the travel time exceeds the meeting time, then you should consider Zoom.
  2. Meeting someone. If I don’t know you, and we’re not meeting in person, I’d rather Zoom than have a phone call. It feels more personal.
  3. Opportunity. If I have an opportunity to work with someone far away, I’ll gladly start up Zoom: to have a choir clinic with a composer across the country, or any number of other professional opportunities.

I don’t always want to video call; but there are times I still do.
