ThinLinc VS BigBlueButton

ThinLinc is free for up to 5 concurrent users (users logged in at same time on same domain) and has a license fee if you need more users. So, you can test it to see if it meets your needs. Here's a sample of what I'm doing (I can even play games (OpenGL) on it, hardware accelerated) - https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/qkrhv6/i_shared_the_better_computer_at_home_with_my/ - and there are other usecases at...

I was going to recommend ThinLinc https://cendio.com but its server part is also for Linux. You could try TigerVNC (Cendio is one of the TigerVNC's maintainers) and TigerVNC works on windows... There are other VNCs client/server also. MeshCentral is another alternative already suggested :D. Source: over 2 years ago

ThinLinc (cendio.com) would help you... It's based on TigerVNC, but by default each user gets its own full desktop session when connecting remotely and can also resume later from somewhere else. Its picture quality and responsivness are great even on lower bandwidth/higher latency connections. Source: over 2 years ago

If you ever want to change your main servers to Linux, there's a software called ThinLinc from Cendio (cendio.com) that can also provide full remote desktop for your thinclients. It's free for up to 5 simultaneously connected users and its licences are sold based on simultaneously connected users, so, maybe it'd be a lot cheaper to have a Linux server machine (free) and pay for a number of simultaneously connected...

It can be downloaded at cendio.com and it's free for up to 5 simultaneously connected users per domain... Since you mentioned 4 people, you're still good to use it for free with all four people simultaneously connected. If you need to increase the number of simultaneous users, its price is also lower than windows rdp CALs... (and believe me, it works a lot better than RDP!). Source: almost 3 years ago

Middle managers not adapting. When my old job when remote for Covid, my manager would hold telecons, despite having access to videoconference software with the capability to document and screen share (IT setup BigBlueButton ). He would talk to slides we couldn't see, and we were lucky if he sent them out in email before hand. Source: 11 months ago

Https://bigbluebutton.org/ is a free and open source classroom software. I would stick to indiependent and free software in your situation. Source: about 1 year ago

I haven't used it to stream movies, but I use BigBlueButton fairly regularly for video/voice calls. Source: over 1 year ago

Big Blue Button (https://bigbluebutton.org) is one. We actually used it at work for meetings but it seems they have since pivoted to be for more virtual classroom. I agree though, even that would need decent IT talent to setup and maintain. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

You could try these self-hosted solutions: TrueConf, Jitsi or BigBlueButton. The choice generally depends on your needs and company budget. Source: almost 2 years ago
