===== What? =====
Some thoughts for selecting software used for teaching over the internet.

  * **Open Source**
    * These are all privacy friendly and free of charge
    * **software: Jami:**
      * pro: peer2peer, after server initially establishes connection
      * https://jami.net
      * TLS1.3 end2end encryption.
      * functionality: chat, audio-call, video-call, exchanging files
    * **software: Jitsi meet**
      * con: requires server, but the free default one might be sufficient
      * issues with videochats of 35+ persons
      * [[https://jotbe.io/blog/2020/04/jitsi-meet-questions-and-answers/index.de.html|details]]
    * **software: Big Blue Button**
      * con: requires server
  * **Proprietary code base**
    * Here one has to trust the vendor regarding privacy. Codebase can not be audited by everybody.
    * **software: Skype**
      * con: account required
      * pro: no own server required
    * **software: Google hangouts**
      * con: account required
      * con: just 10 participants possible
      * pro: no own server required
      * hangouts is free and for private, google meet is commercial for business
    * **software: Zoom**
      * con: recent security issues
    * **software: Bluejeans**
    * further: Microsoft teams, Facebook, Apple facetime (Apple devices only), Cisco Webex
