Good news everyone, Movim 0.30 codename Encke

).
In this new version you'll also find a lot of improvements in the UI, a better integration of the Stories and a new way to personalize how Movim looks 
.

#UnplugTrump - Tipp12:
Wechsle zu einer sicheren und datenschutzfreundlichen Plattform für deine Video-Calls. Jitsi Meet, BigBlueButton und OpenTalk sind Open-Source-Alternativen zu Zoom und Google Meet, bei der du die Kontrolle über deine Daten behältst.
@abstractcode On #Linux, #Zoom is substantially better than #Teams. Actually, #MSTeams is full garbage (connection problems, frequent video and sound lags), since they abandoned the native client.
In my own experience on #Ubuntu / Linux:
TOP:
* #BigBlueButton
* Zoom
* #Jitsi Meet
MEDIOCRE:
* #GoogleMeet
* #Webex

1997 A gathering of friends in a casual office setting.
The image shows a group of four people, seemingly engaged in a video call or an online meeting, with one individual actively participating and the others observing.
They are seated around a small table, which appears to be in a makeshift office area set up at home.
On the table, there is a laptop open, suggesting they might be working or discussing something collaboratively.
There are also other items on the table, such as cups and a vase, adding to the casual atmosphere of the scene.

Wie are pleased to announce that #Monal 6.1.0 with full video call support is now available in the appstore.

I've been using the Brave Talk from @bravebrowser because I am in this journey of 'privacy matter'
And I have to say is a really a no friction and good experience. Thanks
Our first beta release containing support for #videocalls is published now.
Please try it and report any bugs you may find.
Nur nie den Mute verlieren
Ugh. Just did a 1:1 #VideoCall on #MicrosoftTeams and it was awful; between the fact that I was on Web, and he was on desktop with a new update applied this morning, it was basically a photo with audio. We could hear fine, but his efforts to share a document were useless as I saw stale, 45-second old updates, and cancelling that, even video of his face was slow to update. I shared my screen and as far as I know it was fine for him, but the experience was clearly far worse than he wanted. I actually had a Team video call with him a couple months ago and it was ok, though we didn't do any sort of content/screen sharing in that meeting. Today was almost unusable; it was almost just a phone call, until I shared my screen.
Don't Submit Personal Calls / Data / Biometrics To AI Training (Empowering Abuse Potential, Disempowering End Users) For Video Calls
AI Training Can Also Be A Fancy Way Of Saying "Putting You Under Surveillance"
Instead, Use Signal / Session / XMPP + PGP / OMEMO / Jitsi

Gratitude Post!
Thank you to the creators and managers of all videophone devices and software. If not for your work the recent Covid-19 pandemic would have so much harder for people to endure. You literally helped humanity stay connected and you did it with charity and reasonableness. THANK YOU people at ZOOM, people at WhatsApp, people at FaceTime, etc. from a personal perspective your work allowed me to SEE, not just talk to my isolated elders, my growing nieces and nephews, and far-away friends.
This is me in every videocall meeting. Share yours? #zoom #selfie #videocall
