[liberationtech] BlueJeans claims to offer secure video conferencing. Is that true?

[hans christian voigt]

anyone here who knows about or better even has experience with BigBlueButton? 
https://bigbluebutton.org/

just stumbled on it, is open source and says one can install and host it on own server, … so I wonder why I didn’t read or hear about it before …

„BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system for online learning.“
