hi,

I am looking for open source software for voip and video conferencing for linux and also runs on android. I try to build jami and linphone but I failed. If someone succeed to build one an install it on slackware 14.2 please tell me.

Thank you

I know of jitsi which is/was available in Debian. Installation & configuration seems to be a nightmare. It's in Java.

I thought everyone was getting in on that act after zoom's success, which does run on linux & android, btw.,

Might help or not

Rather bloated with lots of function, but it works.

Moved: This thread is more suitable in <Slackware> and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

Our LUG here in Melbourne (MLUG) used Jitsi all through the pandemic for our online monthly meetings. It worked well and is opensource. We just went into a snap lockdown for 5 days (hmmm ... maybe) so perhaps we'll be using it again next week.

There is also https://obs.ninja which runs in the browser. You can set up your own server, but have not tried to.
It is more of a video conference then VOIP, so may not fit your needs.

and also @intmail01

jitsi is available as appimage, directly from the jitsi devs. That means you can just download a file, make it executable, and run it. No install required.

you can get it over here

Linphone too releases appimages : Linphone releases
VoIP works fine, no recent experience with video but when I had to use it, very fine too. SIP accounts are offered.

Through lockdown and since I use jitsi meet in browser and Android.
Almost abandonned skype, zoom and all (keep them around for family even if they have migrate to jitsi).

A new thing for me today 'appimage' . What is this ? it run without the need to build and install tons of required libraries ?

https://appimage.org/
"Download an application, make it executable, and run! No need to install. No system libraries or system preferences are altered. Can also run in a sandbox like Firejail"

thank you

Not sure if I'm allowed to mention mailbox dot org again. They provide what seems to be a Jitsi Meet-based solution with their paid email accounts. I pay 4.50 euro a month with the intention of moving away from Go ogle completely.

The whole mailbox dot org stack appears to be open source.

I used the video conferencing feature yesterday for the first time -- Ireland to Ireland call. Good quality audio and video. You can use a browser or the Jitsi app, which is available for both iOS and Android.

The service is free while the powers that be carry on with their Condemic ruse. I'm not promoting Mailbox ; just offering the OP a ready-to-use, multi-platform, open source, low cost alternative.

I tested Linphone-4.2.5.AppImage and it works fine. Just replace an old library libstdc++.so.6.0.21 to a new recent libstdc++.so.6.0.22
