Now that Skype will shut down, i see a good chance to geht my family to switch to a better solution. In order to even have the chance to be accepted instead of just switching to teams i think it has to check the following goals:

  • easy to use
  • reliable
  • direkt calling (called device will just ring)
  • multi paltform (iOS, Android, iPad, Windws)
  • group calls
  • free to use (unfortunately)

I tried:

  • Jami: unfortunatly was unreliable in my first two device test
  • Jisti Meet: no direct calling
  • Signal (already failed to convince all family members a view years back switching from Whatsapp, mabye this can be an new chance. But Videocalling infortunately is too often unreliable)
  • VintageGenious@sh.itjust.works

    Signal is the way to go, been successful in moving my family, two friend groups and girlfriend. Any other closed source non encrypted messagers will collect all your family informations, news, pictures. This should be convincing enough for them
