Be careful with Zoom guys.

Edit: It seems that they have updated their TOS , however I will never trust a company like this , remember with all of this AI going around right now Data is the new oil.

Never. They'll just try again later with different and more obtuse wording.

Good alternatives you can self-host are Nextcloud Talk, Jitsi, BigBlueButton, Unhangout, and Matrix. Find a community instance of any of these if you don't have the chops to host your own.

Brave has a built in webrtc calls called brave talk for quick calls. Its well suited if the person on the other end is non technical. It supports up to 4 people free and can even be used to share tabs playing video and audio to watch stuff together.

To those downvoting. Zoom is shit as it is. At least brave is FOSS and webrtc is an open standard. You can use the service without brave itself. But whatever let's all knee jerk react and downvote. I'm simply stating information, it is factual I'm not holding a gun to your head to use it and I dont care if you do.

When did brave become FOSS?

The code is on github, the license of the browser is Mozilla Public License v2. As far as I know it was always under MPL.
