Throughout my time at G2, traffic patterns on G2.com category pages have been one of the most significant data points to monitor. Time and again, the changes in those patterns have proven a good indicator of emerging trends and a strong reflection of change in software markets. The current global crisis caused by COVID-19 is, unsurprisingly, creating a large shift to tools that support remote work.
This post is part of G2's 2023 digital trends series. Read more about G2’s perspective on digital transformation trends in an introduction from Emily Malis Greathouse, director, market research, and additional coverage on trends identified by G2’s analysts.
Most teachers I’ve met are master improvisers. They have to be ready to adapt to situations in the moment, and the COVID-19 health crisis is a perfect example of when adaptation is a must.

With the Corona Virus situations, I'd like to set up video conferencing for my family and kids to talk to their friends. Are there any system that I can use, or refer to family and friends that won't cost them any money? It'll likely help them adopt to the current situation and start using video conferencing more if there's no cost.
As far as I know, if you want to hold a Zoom meeting with no time constraints, you have to pay for it. It's not prohibitive and only one person, the host, has to have it. Enjoy.

Zoom is ideal for what you need. You need to create an account, which costs you nothing to start. Video conferencing on a free account is unlimited between two devices, and free for 40 minutes between up to 100. What many don't know is that you can stop and restart a meeting and go for an extra 40. As far as I know, you can do that more than once.
You can convert to a paid account and back. What I would do is set up a free account, get used to using it, then try a paid one for a month and see how you go.
There are lots of tutorials on zoom.us that will help you get started; they are short and well-made so well worth spending an hour or two on.
Best of all, Zoom doesn't try to sell you stuff because you have a free account, and their support is excellent. It's also useful to watch a couple of videos around how to present yourself on video - camera use, lighting and so on. Enjoy learning - it's a great skill to pick up.
I have two cameras set up for my piano lesson. One is a built-in webcam in my laptop. The second cameras is a Logitech Quickcam mounted high above the keyboard on a ladder to show my hands. When I accept my teacher's invitation to join him in a Zoom session, one of the cameras disappears.
Is there a Zoom expert who can tell me how to maintain simultaneously both of my camera images and my teacher's image? If you can, please tell me how to adjust the location and size of the three images on my laptop monitor.
Thanks

I would assume there is a better way, but I know you can have two accounts. One camera will log in from one account, the other from another account (if you are using Google Chrome, you could use an Incognito window if necessary). Hopefully that will at least help you use both cameras for now.
"One, how do I determine the password, which apparently was assigned to me, I cannot determine it. Second, I cannot seem to set up our meeting so that a member can join via telephone. I have gone into the admin section and, I thought, clicked all the right boxes but no deal. Thanks, Our groups LOVES Zoom., "
On our company's newest version of Zoom, when we generate a Zoom meeting from our Outlook (Zoom plugin), it automatically assigns a password. The password is included in the link you send out. It is also in the text of the invite if someone would need it for the mobile version. The password should change with every meeting.
Anyway, that's how it works for us when we are sending meeting invites using Microsoft Outlook for our Zoom meetings.

1. I may be answering the wrong question but, to get into your account, you sign in with the original password and then immediately change it to something you can remember. if you can't access the app, click on "forgot Password" and you'll get another way to change it.
2. When you set up a meeting, you can select audio and video as telephone, device or both.
Zoom has training videos. If you watch them, you'll solve all of the questions you have. https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/206618765-Zoom-video-tutorials

Dear George, It is great to know that you like Zoom.
Normally when a person hosts the meeting they will send you a zoom invite by email which has the password and dial in details. In case you are the participant and don't know the password please ask the meeting host.

Go to the "Settings" page - Under "Personal" look for "Meetings", click on it. If you have scheduled a meeting, it will appear under "My Meeting". Click on "My Meeting" and you will obtain all the pertinent information about your meeting. Now look for "Security". To its right, you will find "Passcode"; it will be hidden behind asterisks, but you can see the Passcode by clicking on "Show". You can add it to your Calendar and it will show your Passcode.

I think using the password assigned to you depends on the template you want. If you want to have one regular (permanent) Password, you need to stick to a template where your own password will appear, and also you can change the one you were assigned automatically. I don't think ZOOM will restrict you with their auto password. It's editable.
