Hi David,
Glen mentioned Jitsi in an earlier discussion and I gave it a go.
There is a Jitsi server run by by https://www.8x8.com/
I typed in "chat" when it asked about starting a conferenc at
https://meet.jit.si/ and had a conversation (audio only/no picture) with
someone in Scotland.

No more YouTube clips, promise.

Back on topic, https://opensource.com/alternatives/skype lists open-source
alternatives to Skype.
Two of these are Jitsi and Jami (formerly Ring) which is described as: "An official
GNU package, Jami is licensed under the GPLv3, and takes its commitments to security and
free and open source software very seriously. Communications are secured by end-to-end
encryption with authentication using RSA/AES/DTLS/SRTP technologies and X.509
certificates." It can apparently also use SIP, which might be a useful feature in
the NBN environment.
Do Linkers have any comments or experience regarding these packages, especially
in light of the security issues with such widely-used software as Zoom?
