- MOBAC Regional Catalog is going away.
- MOBAC YouTube channel & closed-captioning: We have a MOBAC Tech channel using the account mobactechcom@gmail.com. Steve will attempt to upload a raw video file from the camera, as this will simplify the process significantly.
- Zoom practice meeting: We had four people join us on various devices, and enjoyed ourselves playing around with the new tool. We did find that Zoom is not compatible with Chrom OS, and that functionality differs slightly on different operating systems/platforms.
