If you slurp loud enough you will come up as one of the four on camera.
Perhaps the Whatsapp group (open to all who have heard of WhatsApp) should
experiment. WhatsApp have their own video conferencing solution, we could
easily start with that.

My ‘Microsoft Teams’ meeting yesterday worked extremely well. A three hour
meeting with good sound and visual quality. I was a bit unsure as I gather the
system had crashed on Wednesday due to volume, but it was excellent.
We might like to consider it for future meetings, but there a couple of
disadvantages, firstly you can only get four people on visual at a time
(although multiple numbers on voice ) with the last four to speak being the
ones you can see - but most important of all MS do not yet have a solution for
virtual drinks and nibbles !!

might be to use some electronic voting system if we can agree an agenda of
choices beforehand. Perhaps the simplest thing would be to hold everything but
have a choice of things to do with the money we have to play with? Those with
proposals could circulate their case on email in advance and we vote either
altogether or by a certain deadline.
