Thing you may want to try:

https://talky.io/ - needs Chrome or Chromium, fails to work under Firefox

https://about.riot.im/ - a Matrix client that looks fine

http://linphone.org/ - this is SIP based, so only if that is working on their network

However, I'm pretty much having the same problems, so I'd welcome suggestions myself.

View on HN

Also https://appear.in — works fine in Linux browsers (Chromium and Firefox are both OK, use them myself regularly).

Just create a room, share the link and you're all set.

heartily seconded, although:

> video is converted to a WebRTC friendly format and it's slow

appear.in uses webrtc so if that's the problem over here it won't solve that.

We use it daily for team meetings at work. Appear.in always works and is the easiest way to set up a video meeting.

I'm one of the founders of Pluot. We make video calling softwar and hardware and we use our own stuff every day on linux. Our goal is to combine ease of use with high quality. We test on low-powered machines, and care a lot about working on as many setups as possible, though there are a lot of variables and we don't optimize for very low CPU situations.

You can go to https://pluot.co/new any time to create video call links and share them.

We'd love to hear feedback.
