[liberationtech] So there is no good video-conferencing solution, but what is everyone at LT using?

[Yosem Companys]

Are you all happy with the solutions you are using? Or would you be

My sense is that there are many solutions, but that no one is happy with
the current state of affairs.

Thanks!
