[Nottingham] COVID quarantine day 1

[John Whitehead]

Zoom are laughing as loads of people are trying it out and saying it's the best. Once things blow over and they've got people hooked, it will get much more expensive. Poison is indeed the right word.



Our 'investment' in Teams is actually seeming reasonable, apart from the people who can't understand why they don't get video & audio on a terminal server ...



Otherwise go WebRTC. It works. It's open. Nuff sed.

Not sure, personally I'm not particularly concerned about E2E for that kind of chat.

Pretty sure Nextcloud Talk is also WebRTC.

Other possibles like Zoom etc are proprietary (although almost certainly just wrap the same protocols) so, err, yeah; pick yer poison.
