[Wolves] alt too zoom that is open source?

[Adam Sweet]

Jitsi as already discussed. Haven't tried it on a phone.

Also tried Jami and it didn't really work at all. Could get text chat
but video/audio didn't work.

I've seen mention of Riot.im, which is now called Element.io. Haven't
tried it.

Honestly, try Jitsi and see how you get on. It doesn't matter what you
use, you're always going to have to fiddle with audio devices and
volumes the first time.
