In the I-wish-I'd-invented-that-word department comes this Stack's Bowers announcement of a "Zoomismatics" event, a live online forum using the Zoom platform so popular today. Here's an excerpt from the email announcement.

You are invited to an Auction Preview on Zoom of Part 1 of the Larry H. Miller Collection taking place on Monday, November 9 at 3:00 PM Pacific Time.
This first tranche from the Miller Collection—to be sold in an unreserved auction on Thursday, November 12, 2020—includes complete sets of Lincoln Cents, Buffalo Nickels, Mercury Dimes, Standing Liberty Quarters, and Walking Liberty Half Dollars, chiefly in grades of MS-65 or finer. Also included is one of the finest sets of Morgan Dollars ever assembled, with innumerable highlights led by an astounding 1896-S graded MS-69 by PCGS, with CAC approval. The overall quality presented in the collection is absolutely outstanding, reinforced by the overwhelming approval from CAC and the quantity of old-style certification holders. While this set represents just one of his many accomplishments within United States numismatics, Larry H. Miller will surely be remembered as one of the greatest collectors to conquer the Morgan dollar series.
Please join Stack’s Bowers numismatists Vicken Yegparian and James McCartney as they navigate through Larry Miller’s incredible collection and discuss select highlights. Questions about any of Larry Miller’s lots will be welcome from all attendees during the Zoom event and will be answered in real time by Vicken and James. And to protect the privacy of all participants, all attendees and questions will remain anonymous.

A related article by Jeff Garrett published by NGC discusses the American Numismatic Association's adoption of the Zoom platform.

One of the ANA's greatest developments in years has been the widespread adaptation of Zoom. It is just what the doctor ordered to cure the ANA’s online education dilemma. Instead of investing hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars that would be nearly impossible to recover, the Zoom platform comes at a manageable fee and allows the ANA to connect with hundreds of individuals at once.
The ANA Summer Seminar was replaced with Webinars that were hugely successful. Over 400 people signed up for some of the live events with thousands more watching the recorded classes after the seminar. Most of the reviews have been outstanding, and the ANA webinars have become a new and important pillar of the ANA educational offerings.
