Learnings on IT
Converting MOV video to MP4 using VLC media player - learned this on December 12, 2020. It takes the whole day to upload MOV video to You Tube. Faster if one converts it to MP4 first.

CHAT BOX use
Can save messages in the Chat Box when there is recording but make sure there is a recording and is saved and not destroyed by Internet interruption. Has yet to see the instruction on "saved chat messages" though.
Chat messages can disappear if there is Internet interruption.
USE CHAT BOX to sign-in for attendance purposes and for free wheeling comments and feedback.
