Or Excel if you have it and fill series in the next or previous column

Ordering alphabetically is easy enough. And you have columns for "has sung" - I suggest some sort of timestamp too. You can record (or write) a simple macro to set a cell with "Now" in text/date format. But it would be so much easier to have a button invoke it. With a bit of programming you could have it look for previous timestamps and stamp in adjacent columns. Anyone going that route - I could write the macro for you, it doesn't seem complex to my eyes. PM me. I enjoy a challenge.

I notice a new feature under "Security" - "Suspend Participant Activities." What happens if I click that? Is that a panic button in case of Zoom bombing? If I click it, is there a way to resume normal operation after that?

A personal opinion from a mere participant: I find the background programs distracting and much prefer the real environment of the singer. A realistically photographed background in which, e.g., waves & birds are frozen while the human in the foreground is live creates a jarring contrast. Also, Joe Offer's chin often disappears when he moves his head. The halo is kind of cute, tho.

Well, gee, Joe. If I didn't use the background photos, I might have to do some housecleaning in my office....
