Hi,
Would it be possible to setup the videoconference on a service hosted with Free Software such as https://jitsi.org/ or https://bigbluebutton.org? It would be a nice fit since Jitsi was selected to be funded by NGI[0].
I apologize for this request and would fully understand if you do not provide alternatives. I’m a Free Software vegetarian[1], meaning I do not use proprietary software, even when they are awesome. Very much like a vegetarian would not eat meat, even when it is delicious It is an ethical and personal choice I made years ago and it sometimes causes problems.
If there is no way to join the meeting other than Microsoft Teams, I could watch the recording afterwards or join using a regular phone number. It’s just an idea though: I’m trying to find all imaginable ways to participate without using proprietary software.
Thanks a lot for your understanding and I look forward to finding the best possible solution.
Cheers
