Now that Skype will shut down, i see a good chance to geht my family to switch to a better solution. In order to even have the chance to be accepted instead of just switching to teams i think it has to check the following goals:

  • easy to use
  • reliable
  • direkt calling (called device will just ring)
  • multi paltform (iOS, Android, iPad, Windws)
  • group calls
  • free to use (unfortunately)

I tried:

  • Jami: unfortunatly was unreliable in my first two device test
  • Jisti Meet: no direct calling
  • Signal (already failed to convince all family members a view years back switching from Whatsapp, mabye this can be an new chance. But Videocalling infortunately is too often unreliable)

I just told everybody I'm out if it isn't on signal. Which, fortunately, also got me out of a few group chats - nice
