For the general public the best recommendation I (personally) can give is: 1. Make an account on any XMPP/Jabber service provider that supports Jingle audio and video calls.
Alternativelly, see if the service provider supports HTTP File Upload. In all the cases you can check the lists at [1][2]. 2. Use a XMPP/Jabber client that supports these too. There are many for cellphones and for desktop computers and notebooks. 3. Start a person-to-person audio/video call. Alternativelly, make a chatroom in the XMPP/Jabber service provider of your choice (sometimes you don't even need to be registered there), invite more people and chat using plain text instead of audio/video. In that chatroom, use HTTP File Upload to send short *temporary* audio and video (how long these are kept depends on the service provider, their pages should describe how it works). Usage XMPP/Jabber has the benefits of using a federated communication standard, just like email is. So you have various XMPP/Jabber service providers, some allowing public registration, others paid, and some which provide addresses only for members of some group/organization/university. Alternativelly, use a WebRTC service provider. However, please note that this approach isn't federated (if someone is in a WebRTC chatroom, and you happen to prefer another service provider, you can't tell your service provider to connect to that chatroom), and you'll likely end up running non-free software (which is generally done automatically through a language called JavaScript). WebRTC works well for multi-person audio/video calls. Finally, for those who want to help develop free/libre software which communicates in a distributed way (beyond federation), projects like GNU Ring ([3]) are always accepting contributions, specially to overcome some of issues related to distributed communications. ;) [1] <https://xmpp.org/getting-started/>, section 2 ("Create an account").
