4) Its work

CIL Meet is our live stream service provided for Christadelphian Organisations & Ecclesias.  The service uses either Zoom, Google Meet or Teams accounts and provides a simple access mechanism to run meetings using these accounts.  You can also use the accounts directly as well!

Each Organisation / Ecclesia has a page on CIL Website and on their page they have at least one meeting Room.  Once the Room is accessed the meeting is started for the day and the meeting opens in the usual Zoom, Google Meet or Teams app.
