The world of Zoom and other teleconferencing is here. Zoom is the better platform for mediations due to the Breakout Rooms. While Microsoft Teams allegedly has that feature coming, Zoom is the go-to mediation system.

So how to best succeed at using Zoom? I have recently made a page full of equipment ideas and a reference to an existing page of tips. I deal with three elements of success:

• A decent internet connection. If you get 10mb down and 6 or so up, then you should be fine. If you don’t know your internet speed go to Https://Www.speedtest.net/ and test it.
• Exercise some “Best Practices” which are totally under your control. That link has some good tips.
• Good equipment which can be obtained at minimal cost. That is what I’ll discuss here.
