 * Hello Everyone–
 * I wanted to let you know, based on feedback and requests, Code for Recovery has
   decided to initiate two coding efforts:
 * We’ll add some rudimentary fields to capture a meeting that has moved to an online
   format for the duration of this crisis. These changes are for 12-step-meeting
   list, and while we will continue to work with GSO’s Meeting Guide team, we can’t
   control when or if they will implement these changes.
 * For security and control, we’ll be implementing this for select services. We’d
   like to hear from you regarding what services you all are using for online meetings.
   Zoom will obviously be included as lots of groups are using those. So, please
   leave a comment with what you’re using for those meetings. It isn’t necessary
   to state one that has already been requested.
 * We are also going to work on a feature that allows for mass removal of the temporary
   closure tag to simplify the work at the end of the crisis. This should simplify
   things when we do start winding down.
 * Anyway, that is our plan. I hope these changes will help.
 * On behalf of the team,

 * Thank you. I did update to 3.6.1 and updated the first meeting. That’s the only
   change I made. Then, I do see the first meeting’s Zoom link in the second meeting’s
   page.
 * I’ll fill out the bug report now.

 * Sorry – I ran out of time to do the Github thing. I’m going to be late back to
   work. I’ll update it tonight.

 * Using the plug-in UI:
    The “Online Meeting” type requires a URL in the new video
   conference field in order for the “Online Meeting” type to stick.

 * Thanks [@mikecnc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikecnc/) for pointing 
   that out. I couldn’t figure out why online meeting type wasn’t sticking.
 * Does anyone know if we could put the one-tap mobile number followed by ,, and
   then meeting id in the phone field below? Example: +13126266799,,123456789#

 * [@mikecnc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikecnc/),
 * The meeting URL needs to pass the validation process (to make safe links) which
   may be why it failed? What link for the online meeting did you add?

 * [@tech2serve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tech2serve/) Is it possible
   to make the hyperlinks stand out better in the Online Meeting box? Make it blue
   and bold or is this something I can do behind the scenes in CSS?

 * Most of the zoom meetings are being submitted with the zoom meeting ID only without
   the zoom URL. I notice some of the zoom URLs are different so I don’t want to
   just make it up.

 * One decision made regarding online meetings was that if the meeting was part 
   of a group (like a physical address) the online meeting URL would be the same
   for all meetings of that group.
 * So we’re realizing that isn’t going to work for people who use a different URL
   for each meeting, even if part of a group.
 * We’re discussing this now.

 * [@tech2serve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tech2serve/) why not just set
   it up so the URL and phone links (which would be great if it stood out better)
   were associated with the individual meeting rather than the contact information
   for the group?

 * Hi [@octotoot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/octotoot/), We know of a pretty
   large metropolitan area where they set up an online meeting link for the whole
   group, and so it makes it easier for them rather than having to change each meeting.
 * But, we also recognize there are people who didn’t configure that way, so we’re
   looking at options.

 * I have updated the Github bug report with a more thorough description of steps
   I took, environment I am in, and such. I was not able to replicate the problem
   for different meetings at different locations. I was also **not** able to replicate
   with two meetings at the same Location but not a part of the same Group.

 * [@tech2serve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tech2serve/)
 * Groups in Poland are using Discord for both audio and text chat capabilities.
   Audio is used for regular on-line meetings while text channels are used for other
   activities like sharing readings for the meetings, looking for sponsors and general
   organization of the group.
 * In addition to what [@mikecnc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikecnc/) 
   wrote – I observe the same behavior. Neither “Online Meeting” nor the meeting
   url/number is saved after clicking “Publish”. Is it intentional (for the current
   version)?

   Try with the full URL to the online Zoom meeting. If that still doesn’t work,
   please send me the link and I’ll test on my end.
