Recently had a "video conferencing software vs. freedom" topic on my company's internal mailinglist too. Free Software which was mentioned (if someone wants to experiment, I have not yet): * http://jscommunicator.org/ * https://jitsi.org/Projects/JitMeet I have started to prefer https://appear.in/ (run by Telenor) over Google Hangouts for small meetings (didn't feel stable enough for >4 people last time I tried). It's NOT free software either but it does not require an additional closed-source browser plugin and it does not require registration / login, which feels like a small step forward compared to Google Hangouts. Requires a recent browser (WebRTC). andre -- Andre Klapper | [email protected] http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ engagement-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/engagement-list
