[Leica] Planning a LUG video gathering

[Douglas Barry]

Thanks Brian,  My wife has a hospital appointment for her cancer 
treatment, but she usually drives herself in, so that time should suit 
me also.

The only other issue I have is a minor one. Since my children returned 
to Ireland some years ago, I never bothered with my webcam, so 
discovered that it's way out of date and now unrecognised by Windows 10. 
I tried to buy a replacement, but no joy - all relevant shops here are 
now closed, and online ones have a huge delay in delivery - several 
weeks or more. I probably could get a driver for it on the web, but that 
runs the risk of getting a whole lot hidden crap with it.

So, as a workaround, I'm going to set it up on my iPhone, but I see that 
there are variants on the app store - Zoom Cloud and Zoom Social. I've 
downloaded both but I presume it's the Z Cloud, I'll need, yes? The only 
problem with the iPhone is the screen size, so I may try getting Zoom on 
my wife's iPad which hasn't had anything new put on it since she got it 
in 2012! Needless to say, thanks to her chemo-brain at the time - she's 
forgotten what her Apple password is and which one of her several email 
addresses she used...

Don't you love technology!

Douglas
