[Bradford] Video conferencing

[shi]

We are remote workers and have been at the mercy of clients when it comes
to video conferencing (zoom and skype) but it has worked ok.
I have also been 'attending' one-to-one cello lessons using the latter
software for a few weeks now and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be,
in terms of logistics and clarity of facial expressions, sound, etc.
Would be really good to try Jitsi!

Many thanks for the offer, John - really appreciate it!
