A buddy of mine runs one. I'll pick his brains regarding what it needs for
bandwidth and horsepower.
I suspect I've got sufficient quantities of that at my house.
If not, I'll think about spinning up a droplet.

I never got my webcam working, but I'll give Jitsi a try.

Hey Gang,
I hope everybody is staying safe and healthy. While Linux doesn't need
virus protection, we do. Wash your hands you filthy animals.
As the subject reads, we're going to be doing the WLUG meeting online.
I've been active in the wlug-ma irc channel as have others.
What do people think about Jitsi for doing a video meetup?
Refreshments will not be provided and we won't be going out for dinner!!
Stay home, stay safe and I hope we'll all get to see each other soon.
Later,
Tim.

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:

I've been using a Gnome Shell extension to fix this:
