Good to see various of the group and 'twas a good do even with the

Regardless, Jitsi is very good for ease of use and for the features.


As promised, here's the plethora of links that we mentioned:

How did all that lot get to be so complicated?!

And why can't I just simply use the singular channel of the ALSA mixer??!...
