" Jitsi is a collection of free and open-source multiplatform voice (VoIP), videoconferencing and instant messaging applications for the web platform, Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android. The Jitsi project began with the Jitsi Desktop (previously known as SIP Communicator). With the growth of WebRTC, the project team focus shifted to the Jitsi Videobridge for allowing web-based multi-party video calling. Later the team added Jitsi Meet, a full video conferencing application that includes web, Android, and iOS clients. Jitsi also operates meet.jit.si, a version of Jitsi Meet hosted by Jitsi for free community use. Other projects include: Jigasi, lib-jitsi-meet, Jidesha, and Jitsi. "

    "Not chuffed"? New to me.

    Chuffed = delighted; pleased; satisfied - or - displeased ("Not helpful when a word is its own antonym.")

    (1957, from dialectal (northern England) chuff, originally meaning “puffed with fat”.)

     

    Also new to me:

    All good to know!

     

    Thus far I've avoided ever using video chats (except 1 choppy call in 2003 and a few Skypes in 2010). Monday I want to join a Zoom call with my local Green Party folks so I was looking into it.
