Okay. That’s fucking hysterical
You jest, but I carry a sacrificial tablet with me so I don’t need to install Zoom or Teams on my proper laptop that I am in love with.
It’s even worse in Google Play
This reminds me of when I was adding wifi to the office for the first time and I had one guy convinced it was gonna give him cancer and refused to come into work.
HR made me sit down with him and explain why it won’t give him cancer.
After a chat much like this I ended up printing off a booklet from the world health organization on it and he finally felt safe.
I had a choice when I took my meetings online in early 2020, Jitsi Meet (jitsi.org, FOSS) or Z (proprietary, and $$). I choose incorrectly. Right up until they put a part in their TOS, last September, saying they would use our video for training AI. I switched my meetings over to JItsi. Go FOSS, and don’t go back.
Ha, I remember a coworker doing something with Jitsi back in 2020. He described it as ‘being stuck in Jitsi-jail’!
TBF it’s quite functional now. Maybe your coworker wished they were somewhere else. :-(
Out of curiosity, what prompted you to pick something that costs money over something free?
