Alternatives to Zoom for Linux with any license

Discord

All-in-one voice, video and text chat for gamers that’s free, secure, and works on both your desktop and phone.
- Discord doesn't provide functionality needed for effective video conferencing with clients Tiger3000 • 10 days ago
- Zoom is ad-hoc video conferencing without requiring participants to register. In Discord every participant needs to be registered to the server beforehand which is mostly a chat and voice service for gamers, less a video-conferencing solution. 1a95f0352dab • May 2020
- Discord is an easy way to manage and contact large groups of people. It has high quality video streaming, voice chatting, and supports file uploading. 22Ezra22 • May 2020
- I think that Discord is much more convenient because It's an awesome tool for long-term communication. You can separate people by role and give them different permission. You can share information that should be only visible for your particular department. And of course an awesome sound and video quality. I think discord one of the best app for communication now Henry220 • Apr 2020

Riot.im

A free instant messaging and collaboration software based on the Matrix protocol.
- Riot does not provide video conferencing on its own. The centralized integration server scalar.vector.im allows to embed Jitsi Meet, which is an independent project. Guest • 13 days ago
- Unlike Discord and Skype, Matrix is a decentralized, encrypted and more privacy-oriented communications platform. :) Guest • May 2020
- Doesn't do video conferencing (can optionally embed Jitsi Meet). Requires account registration to join chat rooms. 1a95f0352dab • May 2020

- Has problems with large meetings and no mature moderation functions altenativeto • May 2020
- Jitsi, as a video conference software, is the best alternative to zoom according to me. Many of the others software here are communications system differing from videoconference only. Riot, as a communication system, is an excellent software. Guest • Apr 2020

- Simple, free, private, open source and no limits. Also no need for registration. Guest • Apr 2020
- It is free and open source and as such avoids exactly the problems which Zoom has. Zoom is proving to be a disaster in many ways. It's privacy policy is a joke, it is not secure, and the company itself does not act in good faith; it lied about having end to end encryption and even made unauthorised use of users' webcams possible.
