Is there any conference call software that is free and easy to use from a smart phone?
Have you tried zoom?
Zoom is good, haven't tried it from a phone. Google Hangouts Meet should work well on an Android phone.
Zoom limits you to 40mins per call without a paid licence but you can just start a new one.

We use Webex
Zoom. All day every day. Quality video calls. Simple to use and works great on mobile.
Zoom appear to have waived the 40 min limit. Just off a 2 hour call.
Zoom is indeed the dogs bollix.

You should have bought stock in the last week in January when this virus became evident.

Nobody ever made money looking backwards. Is it a buy under 140 today? I say YES...you think different for the longer term?
Any of these apps or software suitable for "tutoring" (for want of a better word)?
Basically a tool to use to be able to describe a process, for example, algebra is difficult to explain without showing an example being worked out.
Zoom has a whiteboard, which would allow you to work through examples in real time.. You can also share what's showing on your screen, so if you have examples worked out in Powerpoint or wherever, you can share them through Zoom.
I must say I'm surprised how well zoom is holding up, given that every college and university in the US is using it.
I LOVE ZOOM

I must have a look.
Mrs. Tbrick18 "tutors" a few kids with special ed needs. It's more supported learning than tutoring but those kids are really struggling without routine. She's trying to work out if there a way to continue doing something with them remotely. I'll take a look at zoom. Thanks.
Bojos press conference was using zoom last night. It's a fantastic piece of software

Could somebody step up and tutor Boris if that's the case?
Do not do this with your tele conference software :o

Zoom over 450 now.
Does anyone know anything about Camera's for conference rooms for zoom/teams etc?? Our IT company are talking about fitting one for £800 which seems a bit much surely there's something on Amazon you could buy for a couple of hundred pounds would do the job.
Any advice would be appreciated.

800 would be on the cheaper end for a video conferencing room setup and would be sort of price range for small meeting/huddle room type setup.
Why do you care? You could do something cheaper with stuff designed for home offices/webcams/mics etc... but you'll spend more time f**king around with it trying to get it to work before a call, than on the call, in my experience.
