Starlink for video

What is your experience using Starlink?

My Goal: to attend work-related zoom meetings while on my sailboat.

Using Marina Wifi and personal hotspot while docked/in slip is often slow and unreliable at my location on the Chesapeake Bay. My hotspot works fine while inland.

Generally, I plan to be docked or at anchor while making calls. But I would like to make calls at different locations up and down the Chesapeake bay, and even the East coast. So I suspect this means I would need to get one of the Starlink mobile plans.

Starlink has a mobile regional plan, and a mobile global plan. Has anyone used the global plan for attending zoom meetings while in the open ocean?

What about data and usage? I would likely be attending 20 hours of meetings/week maximum, and wonder what kind of plan I would need. Is being docked at a marina generally "inland" enough to qualify for mobile inland? What about being anchored a half mile to a mile away?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! Thanks.
