Let me briefly elaborate. Early on, when the wish to meet formed, there was this question where. It seemed accepted that certain hosts are no option. An in-depth argument why seemed unnecessary. Now you changed exactly for the called no-go host. You did so on the basis of speculation concerning capability of the chosen (by you) prior host. Other recommendations provide hosting free for pro-bono since years, legal under the GDPR and for thousands of meetings with up to hundreds of participants. I assumed the meeting to be within that scope, otherwise I wouldn't take part anyway. They are no single-user, otherwise dormant servers but professionally operated. As Aaron put it "I don't like the part where people have to show video … Forced microphone is also a potential issue". I don't like being forced into (for good reason) illegal services, no matter how juicy they may be. I am quite stern about such things as is e.g. Bruce Schneier as well and am happy to live under GDPR jurisdiction. [1] [2] [3] I propagate multilateral pluralism, I have to live up to that. You didn't raise any concerns, but make a final decision and prove the prior announcement unreliable. Attending video meetings is no priority for me, results however are. Taking risks is inevitable to overcome mediocracy. Kind regards and I wish us all a fruitful, convival, long-term collaboration, Marcus [1] https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2020/04/security_and_pr_1.html [2] https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-08-01/zoom-settles-consumer-claims-over-privacy-for-85-million [3] https://www.datenschutz-berlin.de/fileadmin/user_upload/pdf/orientierungshilfen/2020-BlnBDI-Empfehlungen_Videokonferenzsysteme.pdf
