<p>Looks like Jitsi is the way to go.</p>
<p>We could host our own instance, but their hosted version at <a href="https://meet.jit.si/" rel="nofollow">https://meet.jit.si/</a> looks sufficient. The additional privacy we'd get with self-hosting would be nice, but not critical, since recordings will be posted on YouTube anyway. I'm not sure it would be worth the hassle.</p>
<p>Drawbacks people should be aware of:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jitsi-meetings/kglhbbefdnlheedjiejgomgmfplipfeb" rel="nofollow">a browser extension</a> is needed for those doing screen-sharing, and it only works on Chrome/Chromium
<ul>
<li>usually people know ahead of time when they're going to share their screen during a call, so this shouldn't be a huge issue</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>recording only works when connected to Dropbox (cannot store/download the file directly to local drive)
<ul>
<li>this sucks, but hopefully isn't a deal-breaker...we can create a dropbox account specifically for this purpose so no one's account has to be exposed</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>If there are no strong objections, I'll start using Jitsi for the next event.</p>
<p>In a perfect world, we'd go with <a href="https://bigbluebutton.org/" rel="nofollow">BigBlueButton</a>. They're intended for videoconferencing for classrooms, so there's lots of nifty features like polling, hand-raising, white-board drawing, etc but the server requirements for hosting are <a href="https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/install/install.html" rel="nofollow">extremely heavy</a> so it's probably unreasonable for our light needs.</p>
