Be Careful Using Zoom

During the coronavirus, many schools and companies adopted Zoom to conduct online lessons or video, but concerns about security and privacy have led to a ban on the video conferencing software across the U.S., including Google, NASA, and The United States Senate.

If your organization is interested in utilizing Microsoft Teams during the coronavirus lockdown, we are offering a Free, Six-Month Trial of the software.
