Zoom needs to clean up its privacy act

I’ve found Jitsi to be more than adequate with no need to download an app onto my computer. Just share the link with my friends!

I've tried it yesterday with some friends and in my opinion it's not ready for any serious use. The chat feature looks clunky and sometimes messages don't send on first try, especially the drawing board. Sometimes emojis you send in chat get plastered in the top right corner in about 10 times the size and stay there. I've also had the video feed and all controls disappear in the middle of a live session and the only fix was to close the app and sign-in via invite link. Still happy that something like this exists. Just needs a little bit of polish.

Agree. The big issue is that non-tech people can use zoom. With Jitsi (which I hope to eventually use mostly), you have to be someone who's willing to fool with it a bit to make it work.

If some of you 10x programmers would go on a Mission from God and get it going that would be super cool.

In what way do you have to fool with this? https://meet.jit.si/

It is quite possibly the simplest videoconferencing I have ever experienced (Google Hangouts, BlueJeans, Skype for Business and Microsoft Teams being my experience.) I like the Teams experience but the simplicity of just copying an URL from that Jitsi Meet page and having it work within a minute of 5 elderly non-technophile users receiving it in their emails is incredible.
