Hi, In case anyone is looking for more secure alternatives to the commecial videoconferencing offerings...
I've been doing my lectures over BigBlueButton. I'm very happy with it -- it's rock solid, scales to 70 people with no problem, and the user interface is well designed for lectures. Our system engineers say that it requires non-trivial server resources, though. One of the interns I'm working with recommends Jitsi. I have no personal experience with it. For my own needs (chatting with my parents and drinking beer with my friends), I've written a very simple WebRTC-based videoconferencing server that requires virtually no server resources and is very easy to install. It builds a complete mesh between the participants in a group (which is why it requires little server resources), so don't expect it to scale beyond a handful of participants, but it works fine for small groups (the maximum we've done was six, including the cat, who of course had his own webcam). https://www.irif.fr/~jch/software/chat/ (I know, I know, I should get my act together and release babeld 1.9.2 rather than hacking WebRTC.) -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list Babel-users@alioth-lists.debian.net https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
