<p>Harry,</p>
<p>Thanks. Wasn't exactly sure how long the product had been around.
I ran a test meeting between my cell phone and two Windows
computers and aside from the quality of the video being somewhat
poor it works fine. I was able to make a recording of the meeting
on my Windows computer and even share my screen.</p>
<p>I'm sure zoom is a far more polished software product. Although,
a lot can be said for 100% free video conferencing software. If
you run a small user group, and it only meets once a month, it
might work just fine and meet everybody's needs. <br>
</p>
<p>I learned about this software today from a man who runs a Linux
user's group. They decided at the time they wanted to remain open
source, no matter what the limitations.</p>
<p>If you have a small group of friends or family that would like to
get together once in a while on a video conference for more than
40 minutes on zoom, this is definitely worth a look.</p>
<p><br>

Zoom ascended to the top of the heap, I was using Jitsi
because it was so simple to use. I still think it is
impressive, but I'm afraid Zoom has won the hearts and minds
of the world because of their clever offering of their system
to the world for free in a time of need -- perhaps that's
better marketing. </div>

suspect Jitsi might be easier to integrate into larger,
commonly used systems in use. For example, I like a
conferencing system that could be integrated into web-based
applications as easily as HTML/CSS/JS embeds can be done.
Can't figure out how to get Zoom to work in this style,
haven't tried it with Jitsi because if it isn't Zoom most
people will shy away from it.</div>
