Zoom Service Blocked by China
Stephano Cetola
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:

should work for me too.

Another alternative might be Jitsi (https://jitsi.org/).
“Multi-platform open-source video conferencing
At Jitsi, we believe every video chat should look and sound amazing, between two people or 200. Whether you want to build your own massively multi-user video conference client, or use ours, all our tools are 100% free, open source, and WebRTC compatible.”

I’ll have a look at this and see if it meets all our requirements.

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.

One note, for those of us lucky enough to be running Windows 10 Corporate Build, the web app did not work well.

The desktop app seemed to work much better for us.
One user confirmed that the iOS app worked well.
