I use Zoom with my clients a lot, but I appreciate that it isn't really in the spirit of the GLUG to be using such non-Free Software. I've had a bit of a play with Jitsi-Meet, which shows promise, but I feel it's "not quite there" yet.Does anyone else have any recommendations or suggestions for cross platform video chat tools that actually work well?Grant. :)Good idea, was thinking about this for the meeting on 28th. I have just adopted Zoom at the instruction of my employer (desperate times - all Uni gone online at no notice) so perhaps we could use that on 28th, and put free software video chat toward the top of chat topics?
Andy, do you know if your account (presumably provided by the Uni) isa Pro/Business/Enterprise account? Zoom Free limits multi-participantmeetings to 40mins (unlimited time for 1-to-1 meetings).
If you are on the Pro/Business/Enterprise plan, do you reckon you'd beable to host the meeting, or do you think your employer might be irkedby that?
Grant. :)
