Great pro-tip on video calls I heard some time ago and use it since: Make the window showing the person you are talking with small and place it on the top of your screen, just below the cam. It gives the eye contact impression because you look almost straight to the cam. There's also a research showing that those large close-ups of the face make people somehow uncomfortable and smaller video helps you better focus on talking. #zoom #videoconferencing #remotework

I've got a small weekly video conference that I want to move off of Zoom. I have been considering a Jitsi Meet instance on a VPS but I don't have experience self-hosting and I wonder if I'm overthinking this. We never have more than a dozen participants. Anyone have a preferred, privacy-respecting, user-friendly solution to recommend? Most of our participants are non-technical.

We've tried encouraging our service users to join our online workshops via #JitsiMeet in the past and faced considerable backlash for using it from these less confident tech users whose introduction to video calls at the start of the pandemic was, sadly, via #Zoom. Hence, we've been using Zoom. Perhaps we can nurture a move towards something like #BigBlueButton for our participants? Would it be smoother? https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2023/08/15/software_freedom_conservancy_zoom/ #videoConferencing #videoChat #videoMeetings #onlineLearning #BBB

One more reason to ditch #Zoom: they changed their ToS to pretend they won't take user data to train third-party AIs, even though the rest of the ToS pretty much says they can do that and beyond. Sounds like the usual Google/Apple "backing down but not really" stunt.
