I hate that often Microsoft Teams is the only piece of software I can get to work for sharing a screen with the layman. Many cross-platform user-friendly options don’t work reliably on Linux, but by some weird twist of fate, I get it to work more often than anything else.

Yes, for an IT person’s own solution, you’d just use a VPN or something, but I’m rarely working with people that are technical enough for this.

Have you tried Jitsi? https://jitsi.org/jitsi-meet/

[–] HyonoKo@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Yep used it for a while. Pretty solid, free and uncomplicated. Just send a link with a random word appended and you are meeting.

No, and I don't think I'd ever ask anyone to try 'Jitsi'.

Why not?

It sounds like 'jizzy'

But that's sexy.

You won't need to ask anyone to "try it" or install anything. You simply send a link to the meeting and then it works for anyone on any device.

That's the good thing about it. You don't have to coordinate whether the other part has Teams, Google Meet or Zoom or whatever.

It runs in the browser, it's free, encrypted and no account or installation required.
