Cody and I have been using a teleconference link created for
Microportal, the Electronics club, so their members can join in
remotely. Cody and I are also members of Microportal, so I simply
asked him to use the link we already have in common, which is use by
Microportal.</font></font></p>

into a Microportal meeting, because they are also interested in

problem arises, if a single teleconferencing link is used for both

think a remote teleconferencing option is a great idea for Ubuntu LoCos, and it was

Hangouts (formally Google talk) is available as a Browser plug-in for
Mozilla Firefox, and built into the Chrome browser. Also as an
application for Android, and iOS devices. However it works best on
“computers” through the browser, verses the app for mobile
devices. </font></font>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%"><font face="DejaVu Sans Mono, monospace"><font style="font-size:10pt" size="2">Testing
revealed Google Hangouts works best on Ubuntu, Mac, and Windows,
computers using the Browser plug-in with Firefox, Safari, Opera, or
IE browsers. Up to ten (10) people can simultaneously teleconference
via Google Hangouts.</font></font></p>

teleconference using Google Hangouts, a Google account associated
