Re: virtual meeting tonight?

Thanks Ted. I think that somewhere among all my cords and devices there 
is an old cam. I'll check that out. I used my phone headset for a Zoom 
meeting yesterday. This, I believe, is a case of the app Jitsi as there 
are posts on the web about this exact problem. I have yet to find a 
solution that isn't so far above my pay grade! I'll delve into it 
further soon.  BTW, no luck with current Firefox as I have no video or 
controls much less the mic.

Many thanks and good for you Ted. Stay sequestered and if you have needs 
let me know (though there's little one can do these days)
