Stop using Zoom, Hamburg’s data protection agency warns state government

  1. Join a WebRTC video conference powered by the Jitsi Videobridge
    I use https://meet.jit.si/ daily and can confirm it is easier to use than Zoom or Hangouts. No nag screens trying to get me to install desktop clients or trying to get me to create an account or give up personal information. It just works.

    I've found that they're especially useful, when integrated with Rocket.Chat https://rocket.chat/ which you can also self host https://github.com/RocketChat That way you have an experience that's a lot like Slack/Teams, with pretty good support for chat, reactions, file uploads, discussions, making quotes etc., while also being able to start video/audio calls with the press of a single button. Of course, if that's too many platforms, Rocket.Chat also supports WebRTC, albeit the UX was a bit less stellar when I last tried it. Regardless, those are some very competent options which allow all the data to remain on your own servers.
