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.

I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their
constituents as "consumers".
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:

Richard,
I'm also using hexchat on debian and it works great. I think it's what
"xchat" turned into.
Later,
Tim.

I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their
constituents as "consumers".
I've got HexChat up and running on Debian. I'll look for it next time I
boot into Windows.

I vaguely remember mirc. Neither mirc nor pirch were available through the
Microsoft Store. I installed something, but never got around to trying it,
and now I'm wfh on my own computer. I'll still be booting into Windows for
work, so, whatever it was, I'll probably install it again. Now I'm trying
to decide on an IRC client for Debian/Gnome...

LOL Chuck. That's not very nice, but...funny! :P
Sorry to hear you are stuck with Windows 'cause of "the man". Haven't
used it for a rather long time now, so I dunno if these still even
exist, but mIRC I think was the last I used (before that Pirch rings a
bell).
There are great Web-based interfaces if you are maintaining a server
somewhere - my favorite there is the node implementation called "The
Lounge". https://thelounge.chat/docs Nice thing is it'll stay connected for
you so you won't miss messages.
