I helped a mate out with a job today, for which he asked me to join a Goggle meeting. Given my creaking Android, and my in-need-of-a-reinstall laptop, went about as well as you'd expect. We fell back to a phone call, and an Etherpad where he could drop links and copypasta.

We got the job done. But I definitely missed an opportunity to dazzle him with a drop-in replacement, something community-hosted, using commons software.

What do others default to these days in this situation?

That used to be my goto. But now you need a moderator to use it or something, which makes it way less convenient. Our admin operates a BBB server, but I've had persistent problems with that on my devices. I've beeb holding out the hope that Matrix 2.0 will fill this gap, but the various companies using it seem to be running short of funds to finish rolling it out.
