Ingrid Hoogendoorn, BLS Parent 2023, has created a wonderful way for parents to express their appreciation to BLS faculty and staff in the form of compliments, shout outs, and notes.

Thank you so much for participating!

usable on Mac, PC, tablets, and smart phones

video mode (ideal) including sharing screens, and also audio only mode (helps with bandwidth issues, which can arise on home networks with several people streaming at once)

works really well at both small and large scale, and for both business and personal engagements

free version limits you to 40 minute meetings (paid versions start at $15/month)

meetings can be recorded, but not clear if the free version supports this

Useful for video meetings and chats while working remotely, as well as online messaging and calls

Great for chatting and sending files, but not as a method of video participation.
