Nothing special, but may come handy given the current
times, also since it's easy to use and even "computer
analphabets" can use it, I'm referring to

https://jitsi.org/

it's totally opensource (one may even download the
whole blurb and install on his own server) and works
on both computers (including tablets) and smartphone,
using it is as easy as 1-2-3; you click on the "start
a call" button, enter a unique name for your "room"
and then send the link which appears on the screen to
the people you want to invite to the chat; done :) !

Gave it some "heavy" tests, sounds like it has no
problems even with 15 people in the same "room" so
it's definitely a keeper for me, now it's time to
check what I'll need to host the whole thing on one
of the servers ...

Thanks for the report. 15 users is a good test!

Y/W, some other folks which used/use it reported that
it's fine and that the beauty of it is the fact that
even "noobs" (read people which knows zilch) can use
it without problems, so for me it's definitely a
keeper

Been playing with systems like Zoom and FreeConferenceCall lately, but this does look interesting. Have to see if I can host a server myself.

Looks like you've given it a good test. :)
