Why not use jitsi meet? Free, Open Source, Standards compliant, WebRTC, an instance is hosted by IETF as well... It's actually perfect for researchers. https://jitsi.tools.ietf.org/ Cheers, Mat

i am familiar with jitsi. it's fine. but i am trying to get research done, not teach/preach conferencing to a bunch of researchers. this was just a warning about an attack through a skype update; not meant as a discussion of conferencing technologies or an opportunity for advertisement. randy

Was there meant to be a screenshot or some explanation of what would be denied here? As of right now, it seems like I'm missing the details of this, or how it would pertain to me as a network operator. Maybe I just need more caffeine. Cheers.
