Have you tried Meet Now? No better time than this year’s holiday meals There’s no getting around the fact most of us are going to miss being together with friends and family for the holidays. But of course we can still gather online, and Windows can help, with the Meet Now tool. Meet Now makes it easy to share a meeting link that everyone can join, no sign-ups or downloads required.
