A user experience with FLOSS video conferencing:
"I've tried Jitsi Meet and found it to be smooth."
"Onboarding: Jitsi: Click a URL. No accounts. Hangouts: Google account. Need to individually invite other Google accounts.
Video Quality: Jitsi: Decent, slightly better than hangouts. Hangouts: Passable but grainy."
"Conclusion: Friends preferred Hangouts.
It's quite disheartening..."
@MatejLach
How about this:
- find 2 people who already prefer Jitsi
- organize sth fun with them (eg. a tabletop RPG) over jitsi
- ask your friends one by one if they wanna join, and if they do, tell them the group's already using jitsi so they need to adapt
@wolf480pl @MatejLach i use the jitsi- meet apk from #fdroid and i never see an error msg. chrome is needed!
if you have the invite link, you go in settings in the client and write the hostlink without the conference name, than in the mainscreen you type the conf. name and join.
or
you open the full link in a #ungoogledchromium - fork, and choose the option "open in client" :done ;)

wtf? what is chrome needed for? And what does any of this have to do with people insisting to use hangouts just because they already know it?
@MatejLach
@wolf480pl was bedeuted insisting to hangouts? chrome braucht man nicht, ich sprach bloΓ von android & optionen, warum gleich so fluchen? @MatejLach
