#22When using linux, everything is "more seamless" than Zoom. This company hates linux users, everything is broken and requires root user to even start.
Hmm, I see. I'm not a Linux user but I'll try to see it!

Sorry about that. But it's totally different experience than before :)

#2410x more seamless. Step 1 - register Google account... I suppose contact discovery is also through Google?
I'll try to add multiple authentications soon. Thanks!

Please elaborate.

Zoom works fine for me on KDE neon. No issues at all when running as a normal user.

#27There is Jitsi ( https://jitsi.org and https://meet.jit.si ) which does not need any login - this is really seamless.
Jitsi shows a warning when using Firefox and recommends using Chrome or Chromium. Why? No, thanks.
We setup a number of such servers ourselves and don't have any issues with Firefox. The public site at https://meet.jit.si/ also does not show any issues like that right now.

I've tried the following in the last few weeks (and several more, but I forget the names): jitsi, cisco jabber, cisco webex, google hangouts, google meet. Jitsi is definitely the best that I've tried. Jabber is OK, webex is a complete joke, the google ones are OK. The failure mode for a lot of these services seems to be crappy centralized routing infrastructure. I have way more than enough bandwidth to support like 1…
It's hard because millions of people are on mobile and/or don't have that bandwidth.

Maybe it's inspired by Peter Theil's "10 times better" argument.

It doesn't happen any more, the firefox WebRTC API's are more mature now - either that, or you're using an older Firefox, which you really shouldn't.
