It looks like they support a web client for use on Linux for viewing meetings, at least. https://answers.chime.aws/articles/17/supported-operating-sy...
At my current gig, it's WebEx. The Linux client supposedly does work on 32-bit FireFox using 32-bit Java. I've tried some docker containers that supposedly support this configuration, but so far I can't get anything to work. WebEx is literally the only reason I even start up a Windows VM at work.
When I worked in a WebEx shop, I gave up on the Linux/Firefox situation and just used their Android client on a tablet or phone.

Yeah we have the same experience, I'm surprised hangouts works so badly for others. As long as you invite the chromeboxes to the same meetings as everyone else, it's super simple to operate and for everyone to join.
Does it work with non-google Calendars?
Yes. We use it with clients frequently.

>"Amazon never participated in the NSA’s PRISM program." - Stephen Schmidt, CISO @ AWS As true as this may be, the only acceptable form of privacy guarantee is through cryptographic algorithms and open source software. Anything else is a fantasy tale.
There have been bugs in open source cryptography. E.G. Heartbleed, shellshock, etc.
There are state actors that will pay to find the bugs, or put the bugs there (and the underhand C contest shows how hard it is to find the bugs).
Open source is not an ironclad guarantee.

Zoom is consistently garbage for us. The latency is high, the audio quality is low, and the apps have a really terrible user experience.
We use uberconference (nothing to do with Uber!) in North America and Europe (multiple countries) and it works like a charm.
I guess like every option mentioned here they all suck for someone. We have used Uberconference and the audio quality is terrible. And it's not uniformly terrible either which is even more frustrating. Some of the attendees won't be able to understand some people and other attendees everything sounds fine (although it always sounds like a poor quality cellphone conversation).
With Google Hangouts we have poor quality audio as well and at least once per day we have someone that their audio won't come thorough unless they restart their Mac.

Re: Amazon Chime
#188I liked the part about Chime calling you at the scheduled start of meeting. So simple yet I had never thought of this since my org uses WebEx. With a smart phone that would pretty well via a push notification or an actual call, but not sure how that would work when you want a join a meeting from a physical meeting room with its own AV system. I'm sure there is a way to get that set up.
I don't want to be called because I choose a different device every time.

#189For simple and secure meetings, We should give Amazon chime a try.
Re: Amazon Chime
#190Is Chime based on WebRTC in any way?
