It depends on your use case. For private voice/ video calls between 2-3 users, Jami or Tox are P2P options. Wire can work for small groups too (Telegram has a nonfree server, and I'm told Signal can only do 1=1 voice/ video). For larger voice/ video meetings, I recommend Big Blue Button. But

Even with a wire connection, Jami and Jitsi didn't work well for us between two European countries. After long research and a few months of high telephone bills, we started to use Wire which has been published under the GPL v.3 so it should be considered free software ... Have a look at

Video calls worked well for me when using a free Linphone account with Blink (the other party also used Blink but on Windows).

Thanks Zelphir. I know Wire client is free software as it was mentioned by the FSF twice[1][2]. But I am curious how do you use Wire. How about video calls? How about voice call? How many people you talk with? [1] https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Collection:High_Priority_Projects [2]

Hi! Wire has a GPL3 licensed client. Not sure about the server. For me Wire worked great so far and I also use it on my phone. Just wanted to throw that one in. Regards, Zelphir

For my online course, aside from using Telegram as voice call (one on one), I use Jitsi Meet for screen sharing as I teach GNU/Linux via that. Jitsi has a gratis server everybody could create at anytime to use with multiple users at https://meet.jit.si which I use to do voice conference with my

nice username. I am also interested in this. they are suggesting we use "zoom" which is certainly not free at our university. Jitsi seems to not allow audio in abrowser for some reason. this might be a settings issue but i couldn't fix it even though i can verify my microphone is on and

I used jami a little bit over the last year. I had some earlier problems last year but it has been good for me recently. That said I was using it only for 1-1 voice calls (from Trisquel GNU/Linux) recently. I've had good video calls too. I don't know what is the required bandwidth but

Hello again! Over the last two weeks, both jami and jitsi have proven to be not as reliable as in the beginning. I feel dissatisfied because videos tend to freeze once every few minutes and sound quality is very variable (from excellent to barely understandable). This is true both for jami

Hello everybody, Which software do you recommend for video calls? I tried Linphone but encounter problems (See https://trisquel.info/en/forum/linphone-doesnt-work). I also looked for Jitsi Desktop but it's not included in Trisquel. Is it not libre software? Is Jitsi Meet safe and libre?
