I am an IT consultant and belong to a large church in St. Charles IL. I am currently working with Logmein (GoTo Meeting) to provide free, without limit Go To Meeting access for our church members, specifically for our community groups which typically run from 5 - 20 people. Our church has over 250 of these. While Zoom has free accounts they are limited to 40 minutes in duration. This access to Go To Meeting would not have that limitation. They are talking about making this available for free for 3 months.
Things are going a bit slowly because they are a bit swamped with the high need for work from home. However, they have a temporary (3 month) FREE service that is available to schools and not for profit organizations and includes teachers. You have to connect with a GoTo Meeting (the company is actually LogMeIn) representative. I have gotten the ok from them for my church but still working out the details. I will post here again when all is worked out.
I have an update on free, without, or higher limit, video conferencing. I was able to obtain free without limit, temporary licenses from GoToMeeting. I had to contact a GoToMeeting (actually the company is LogMeIn) and provide information and it did drag on a bit. Another option is a telecom company called 8X8. They are primarily a cloud-based phone system provider but have other services. Do a search for 8X8 Meetings (I don't like to put in direct links in postings if I don't have to for security reasons) and it will tell you how to take advantage of their free video conference service. Zoom has a free one but it has a 40 minute limit. The only limit on 8X8 is max of 50 participants, no time limit.
