Video Conferencing Tooling #25

Closed YOU54F closed 7 months ago

YOU54F commented 10 months ago

What video conferencing tools are users comfortable with, for open-source related projects.

Would users prefer to use OSS/FOSS tools, and have a strong preference to lean towards either one.

Which tools would you suggest?

Also what are peoples preferences for video communication

For personal meetings, I've always just grabbed a google meet, but I can imagine there will be restrictions for larger groups, and there may be concerns on AI, collecting data.

There are other options available to maintainers, through their employers, Zoom for example.

Both google meet/zoom are not OSS, and therefore may not be suitable for some members who simply won't use those platforms.

Just want to gauge interest. Do people care? I've often had to sign up to new platforms to watch a single event and then never used it again.

We used SmartBears zoom, and managed to link this up with YouTube for live-streaming.

All worked pretty well, and was easy enough to setup.

We will provide some instructions for others, in case they wanted to do it themselves for their own projects etc.

Will close this now but feel free to still chime in if you have thoughts about video conf tooling 👍🏾
