Zoom Service Blocked by China

Hi All,
https://status.zoom.us/incidents/xbmxyfpnv4jq It would seem that on Monday China blocked Zoom, our preferred conference software. This is an off week (luckily) for APAC meetings, so this should not immediately effect us. I'd like to propose BlueJeans as a replacement. AFAIK, they support web clients (no binary needed), Android, and iOS. Also, I believe they will work well in China: https://support.bluejeans.com/s/article/Premium-Access-for-China Cheers, Stephano An nescis, mi fili, quantilla prudentia mundus regatur? --Axel Oxenstierna

Hi All,Generally speaking, I'm fine with the BlueJeans platform -- I use my company-issued PolyCom handset for dialing a "BlueJeans bridge" (using an internal extension), and then I participate as a voice-only participant. (I don't like installing proprietary browser plugins, and I wouldn't enable video anyway.) AFAIR I can see -- consume -- screens shared by others, in Firefox, without installing the plugin; so that should work for me too. Thanks! Laszlo

Another alternative might be Jitsi (https://jitsi.org/).

I can access https://www.bluejeans.com/. Can you set up one meeting in bluejeans for test? I will join in it from China. Thanks Liming

AFAIK, they support web clients (no binary needed), Android, and iOS.We ran a preliminary test of BlueJeans yesterday and it seems to meet our needs rather well. As such, I've updated the two APAC meetings (on our Groups.io calendar) to use BlueJeans: https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/47435 https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/47437 Assuming these meetings go smoothly this week, I will move the EMEA meetings as well as the monthly community meetings over to BlueJeans. For those of you attending the APAC meetings this week, please do ping me with any feedback. Cheers, Stephano

One user confirmed that the iOS app worked well. Cheers, Stephano
