Rethinking TeX in STEM: Online Thu 29 Sep: 6.30pm BST (UK time): From the TeX Hour

[peacecop kalmer:]

Let me agree to disagree! i have used /Jitsi/ with my pupils and in 
Estonia the groups are large - 24 pupils. Sometimes people using /Mac/ 
have had issues but i /Mac/ really isn't a way to go as it's for people 
who have options to pay a lot.

As about /Zoom/, sometimes other parties don't hear me and i have to 
write in chat. i have even given up to use its desktop version as it 
seems to constantly have sound issues, so i always use /Zoom/ using a 
web browser. That way, it's probably also possible to record meetings on 
the client side on proprietary /Android/. /Zoom/ has limits: free usage 
for up to what was it - 45 minutes? /Jitsi/ has not time limit and is 
always free. /Jitsi/ also makes it possible to have rooms constantly 
open. Everyone can enter them anytime and leave anytime. One does not 
have to schedule meetings. Only sharing screen on /Android/ crashes the 
application which is a shame.
