I've never had to make *any* phone call to be able to use Jitsi. And the RSC uses it every 2 weeks or so. > > Liz To clarify, using Jitsi as normal (for *video* conferencing) is free, worldwide. (e.g. One of my user group members participates in our mostly-U.S.A meetings from his new home in the Czech Republic) Also, like Zoom and many other video conferencing services, Jitsi allows you to call a phone number, to listen and speak (audio-only) on in the video meeting room: +1.512.647.1431 US +44.203.885.2179 UK +33.1.87.21.0005 France +31.85.208.1541 Netherlands +34.932.205.409 Spain +1.437.538.3987 Canada +61.8.7150.1136 Australia +55.21.3500.0112 Brazil +81.3.4510.2372 Japan +41.61.588.0496 Switzerland These numbers are also free, but only if your phone company considers them free. In other words, you might get charged, but it is the phone company's charge, not Jitsi's. -- Hope this helps, Bruce Gray (Util of PerlMonks)Thread Previous | Thread Next
