[Freedombox-discuss] Video chat on the Freedombox using WebRTC?

[Ian Sullivan]

For anyone else who is interested, we did some testing this afternoon
and were able to get  https://appear.in/ to work and also
https://live.mayfirst.org/ which is the only one of the webRTC video
conferencing tools I've seen that is actually made of free software. Of
note, chromium seems to be the only browser that works with both these
services.
