FWIW, there is an Android client (including video support). That is what I
use personally, though the only thing I use it for is it get the webex
system to call me back to dial me in to the conference on audio. After I
get that audio connection I then just shut down the client.

Yeah, if everybody can agree to that it may work out a lot better.

But another option is to use a WebRTC service like https://appear.in/ which
work well enough these days with up to 8 video connections going at once.
