"content_html": "In reply to Sally G..\n\nHi Sally,\n\nUnfortunately, with an event this large, we can\u2019t take the risk of running a Zoom meeting as that would allow anyone to turn on their camera, microphone, or even attempt to share their screen, which would (at best) be disruptive and (at worst) a potential for a Zoom bomber.\n\nWe actually had this happen at a WordPress Accessibility Meetup, and it was quite stressful. After that, we ended up switching to Zoom webinars. There are some downsides as you mention, but on the whole, I think webinars serve the community best.\n\nWe\u2019re sorry you can\u2019t attend the event, but glad you\u2019re going to catch the replays.",
