My email was in retrospect ambiguous; I made assumptions based on the listenership of my email. I was asking about FOSS videoconferencing. Jitsi appears to be the only answer at this point. Thanks all, --MCV.

Zoom is a good option if using a Pro subscription. Lots of businesses seem to depend on it for remote meetings thanks to the pandemic. It has some nice features like video recording which could be used for sharing on Youtube, and it doesn't require new users to create an account for meetups. I think Discord is also a good option with all of the features it provides as a chat platform. I've been using it for remote D&D sessions. One major downside of the Linux client is that you'll likely have to use a workaround for a bug that causes video calls to eventually crash the client: https://github.com/flathub/com.discordapp.Discord/issues/30 I've been using a Gnome Shell extension to fix this: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/ - Josh On Wed, 2020-03-25 at 13:46 +0000, Krichevsky, Nicholas J. via WLUG wrote: > Zoom, aside from not being FOSS, limits calls to 40 minutes without > paying.

Zoom, aside from not being FOSS, limits calls to 40 minutes without paying. If we only care about free as in beer Discord is a great option, but if we care about free in the other sense, then I'm not sure I know if anything.
