I'm also curious. I subscribed to Whereby (https://whereby.com/ https://whereby.com/), where I can send people a URL, which they click and land in my conference room. There is ZERO software they need to install.
[For all the "well, actually" folks: yes, it "only" works in every modern browser out there, and it works "only" for up to 12 people. Fine with me.]
Zoom has more features, but there are many other solutions that work much better and are WAY simpler. It's just that Zoom is well known, and it's easiest to choose the tool that everyone has heard about.

- sudosysgen 7y agoSome of my teachers use jitsi, which works on the same principle. The teacher sends a link, you click it, and that's it. Works very well, and no limit.
