I would strongly recommend using <a href="http://meet.jit.si" target="_blank">meet.jit.si</a> -- it just works and there is<br>
little effort in setting up a meeting.<br>
<br>
A group of us have been using it weekly (almost) since lock down in the UK (mid<br>
March). You need a machine with 4GB RAM**. Meetings generally 6-10 people, been<br>
up to 12 - no problems.<br>
<br>
No software needs to be downloaded, just use a web browser. No need to<br>
login/register. Joining a meeting can be password protected (if you want). The<br>
only downside compared to Zoom is there is not a dial-up (ie 'phone) option.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Actually there is!

You can put it on your own machine. I am working with a company who have done<br>
it. Installed on a Debian machine (I tried a couple of CentOS releases ... gave<br>
up). However to get it working as we wanted has taken someone a lot of time. It<br>
is a huge Java application.<br>
<br>
Summary: just use <a href="http://meet.jit.si" target="_blank">meet.jit.si</a><br>
<br>
<br>
** 4GB - yes. I was running it from my laptop (2GB Linux Mint, Firefox) and it<br>
kind of worked if I killed off lots of other processes, reduced video quality<br>
(or better switch it off - audio only) - but very often I sounded like a Dalek<br>
to others.<br>
<br>
I was unable to get a web-cam ... then my son found one in a supermarket, so I<br>
was able to use on my desktop (32 GB RAM, CentOS 6) and it was a completely<br>
different experience - vastly better.<br>
<br>
My desktop is also wired via UTP (cable) to my router, not Wifi -- but I do not<br>
believe that that was the issue.<br>
