My course are replaced by Zoom and MS Teams, because of corona. Not all of them get recorded. So if I want to take these course I have to use these services. So my University pays for the Service and I can't[0] use. Your claim "We want more free stuff." sounds like an insult[1] to me. I couldn't find the page to order a specialized client and I don't get why I need one. For conferencing you can perfectly use SIP/VoIP, for streaming there is HLS and some other protocols. So why do I need a js blob which only works on chrome or a binary build only for Windows and Linux to use MS Teams or Zoom? I just want to have the freedom to choose my software. So if someone offer an service, the bare minimum[2] should be to support standard browser. The hole ``cloud'' business model drives me crazy. You don't create a protocol, write a client and a server anymore. You write a server with a private API, an app and maybe a website. Then sell this as service or make it free with adds for personal use. With this model I'm totally locket in to the vendor. I have no way to replace any part of the system without going to a completely different service. Using a different service is in some cases not even possible. satanist [0] and don't like to, but this is an other discussion [1] I know it wasn't meant to be, at least not in this way it sounds to me [2] Why do I even have to discuss this?
