Can I ask which app you all are finding best for family gatherings? I'd like to gather my family..6 siblings and spouses and children and grand children. 35-40 people together long enough to sing happy birthday for my mothers 90th birthday which she will celebrate, like many others, in quarentine. Any suggestions?

Zoom
You can use it on smartphone iPad or computer so everyone could potentially have an option to join in.
Happy Bday Gma!!! -
@burvantill My family is thumbs downing that option because of the security breach but I was reading if you password connect you're fine. I do still think Zoom comes out on top but we'll see if I get any other suggestions here. Thanks you for your recommendation.

@Deborah-Cantlon-Lambson All you have to do to prevent one of those breaches is to set up your zoom room with a password and make sure one person hosts and give all mute/unmute and screenshare powers to that host. I've been using Zoom for years and never had a problem. I think the people who set up those chats put the join-in links in a public place.

@Deborah-Cantlon-Lambson In addition, I've tried Skype, Google Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, Facetime, etc. and none are as easy to use or as good with audio/visuals as Zoom... especially when it comes to having many people in the same chatroom. Google Hangouts is fine if you have just a small group. Facebook messenger, Skype, WhatsApp fine with just a few and chat only, but at those numbers 30+... Zoom. You can also try GoToMeeting, but I can't vouch for it because I haven't used it.
