I will never install Zoom but now they are back to forcing you to click the download button on a meeting to reveal the Join in Browser link. Zoom will always be a monstrous company it seems. #Zoom #teleconferencing #VirtualMeetings #DarkPattern

So… silly question for those who do #teleconferencing, etc… working in an open-plan office…

I had a Logitech Zone Wireless… it was great until the microphone failed. I'd like something similar, boom mic (preferably right-side), wireless, BT compatibility (with mSBC wideband HSP). USB dongle is a nice-to-have but not essential.

Personally, I'd rather buy a *wired* #headset with the form factor I like, and plug it into something that will do the "wireless" link.

The first ever video conferencing with jitsi is considered a success. No significant lag or connection weirdness.

Hey #Fediverse #FreeSoftware people, a friend made a great observation: due to #COVID this is a pretty good time to promote #FLOSS teleconferencing / remote work solutions.

So!

Anybody any suggestions for a free software #teleconferencing solution that could handle 10-15 people simultaneously? I had mixed experiences with meet.jit.si. I also know there's @nextcloud Talk app which kinda works, but never got around to testing it more extensively.

Google and Microsoft are giving free access to their enterprise offerings for a limited time due to COVID-19.

"Once #teleconferencing can approximate more of the nuances of being in a room or building with a group or people (Google Huddle's automatic focusing on the speaker in a group chat is a nice example), it will become increasingly possible to run an organization of remotely connected workers."
