I get the same problem in the UK. There is an assumption that people: * Uses a particular proprietary solution or * Want to use a proprietary solution or
Or in some cases they assume people have or can even afford a smartphone on low or zero income. As it is seen that everyone uses zoom, teams, (as everyone assumes you use Windows, MS office) and even down to assuming you use or want to use facebook. So lets share lots of examples of where free alternatives are being used, I quite like Jitsi meet, it will be better for me once I have a headset. I also like the look of Big Blue button as a potential teaching tool, as I can upload a pdf presentation or other document, share screens and also share notes. I understand your frustration, what is worse is that some job interviews are also being conducted over zoom, which is really going to discriminate against anyone not having the ability to use zoom. Or may not want to due to the number of security issues that have been reported. Paul On 04/05/2020 16:52, LM wrote: > Okay, just had to complain to a more sympathetic ear.
