Just been talking to a mate tonight and we are going to try and meet over the net using webcams etc to replace our pub meeting. So just wondering what the best software might be - is it still skype?
A lot of the are not the most technical, so something easy to install would be nice.
Ideas gratefully received.

Google Duo is pretty good and pre-installed on most Android phones. You just need an activation code and off you go. It can host up to 40+ participants.

It's free too!

Just use WhatsApp if you're already on that. I did the same thing on Friday night with House Party and it wasn't very good...a bit glitchy but WhatsApp worked alot better.

Depends on numbers, but whereby might be worth a look.

Jitsi is free, can use it in your browser without installing anything.
