Anyone experienced Hosting Zoom from your camper while away.

Hi, I am currently doing Zoom training from home for upto 10 people at a time. Has anyone done this over 4G mobile using hotspot to their laptop? Was hoping when we are out of lockdown I could continue this option whilst traveling France and Spain. Combining work and play looks a great option if it works over 4G or is there another way?

Yep,
Have done it Several Times Using Just my iPhone,
Works well, No problems so far. But of course it’s totally depending on what signal you have at the time..
If you go down to the Full members section there’s actually another Zoom call Next Weekend I think. Come along

Just worried it would go into circles (buffering) if I was hosting up to ten attendees. Being the host may be different or am I working for no reason?

Oh,
I see what you mean, I take it that being a ‘Host’ takes more ‘Interwebby Dust’ to power it ,,,
Ahhhh Sorry Can’t help you out there, I’ve just got the hang of Vending machines

Yes I have seen the post. I have put it in the diary. Hoping someone on it has done it.

I don’t think it makes any difference if you are host, Zoom doesn’t need a fast connection. Link

It’s certainly worth asking

I use my I pad every couple of weeks for our members zoom meets. I use it without a problem and use it for streaming tv when away in the van. It has a 4G SIM card wit unlimited data from Vodafone it’s attached to my phone contract and costs £6 a month.

Pretty sure the 10 people don't connect to you, but to Zoom's server, like you normally do. Whatever happens you only have one screen full of faces to download as usual.
