The Australian National University is moving to remote working, teaching 
and research from Thursday 26 March until Saturday 27 June:

For the last few days I have been trying out Zoom video conferencing. 
Curiously, I found it works better if I *slow* its network connection 
down to 512 kbps.

Previously I have used "video" conferencing at as little as 28.8 kbps. 
But Zoom doesn't seem to have settings for telephone quality audio and 
one frame per second video.

Keep safe.
