UU LEADERS: Last call! 24 hours left to register. Want to be part of this group of congregations I work with over the next five weeks? Going to skill up and advance your ministry strategy using video!https://twitter.com/PeterBowdenLive/status/1264624027500457986 …
We stream live and then publish the recording on our website. Last Sunday we ended up posting the recording later on in the day and then sent out an email to the entire congregation alerting them that the video was ready.

Excited for the growing number of teams registering for Video Ministry Academy! Seriously, having teams of 10 register makes me very hopeful. Can't wait to help these leaders skill up and implement new video ministry strategies! Want to join us?https://www.peterbowden.live/video-ministry-academy-with-peter-bowden …
We stream from Zoom to YouTube. Then we open up the Zoom after the service is over. Biggest problem is getting YouTube to stop streaming.
I feel like we should try that so more people get to talk. Glad it’s working for you!
Yes! Always great to have a chance to talk to someone new, often a face that's familiar, but you never really got to know. It's easy to get in the habit of gravitating towards people we already know, so it's nice to have that extra push to talk to strangers!
We had no back-up. We just canceled after about half an hour of frustration.
We are loving our “random” breakout groups!
Many of us feel that there are too many “silos” or “clicks”.... Random groups have allowed us to talk to people that we may not normally hang out with 
(there is the option to come back to the centre and be reassigned)

Sorry your coffee hour was impacted. Congregational gatherings via Zoom meeting have been very popular, especially when there are focused break out-groups.
We are in Canada, and we also use Youtube for the services. We have a coffee hour in Zoom.
We do a broadcast on YouTube, but there's no "virtual coffee hour" opportunity for congregants to really engage with one another. This week we planned a congregational conversation, so the timing for us is especially bad!
All my UU Zoomers, how are you doing? Catastrophic @zoom_us failure here in Boston both on Zoom Webinar and Zoom Meeting. If you do live Zoom services, what’s your backup?

The VUU talks with Cecilia Kingman, Margaret Rogers, and Jordinn Nelson Long about how pastoral care needs and response in a coronavirus world.
We had 100+ computers/phones logged on Zoom. And since quite a few were couples, the number of attendees was likely 120+. Despite some technology glitches, it went very well. (And unlike the Vicar in that church in England, our minister didn’t accidentally set herself on fire.)
