Dear confocalists (and not only),

I'm part of the OSA student chapter of my university, and we would like
to do webinars to replace the physical seminars we were planning to
organise in the following weeks/months.
Has anyone of you used a webinar platform? Would you suggest one in
particular - possibly for free?

Thank you,
best,
Valentina Curcio

I find that not using a platform at all works well because modern web browsers support peer-to-peer WebRTC video calls. See jitsi.org for info on how to host your own video calls without any intermediary. Or you can just make a connection through jitsi in a couple easy steps:1) start a call on jitsi and give your room a name (e.g. "UAMicroLab"). You can set a password to share with participants, if desired.2) ask people to go to meet.jitsi.org/UAMicrolab at the appropriate time. To use a phone, the free app is needed.The Jitsi org does not carry the video conference traffic, it just connects the users browsers. The connection is peer-to-peer. I haven't used it for groups of more than 10 people, but WebRTC should be quite scalable. Andrew Eisenhawer Eisenhawer TDSSent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
