Most. Stressful. Zoom. Ever 😮‍💨 IT had deactivated licence so couldn’t access my own link that I’ve been using for years Colleague set up another link, sent to speakers, BCC’d all 125 registered for webinar BUT it was my personal ‘panellist link’, so everyone who joined was called “Nick Sheppard” 🤣
