Jitsi requires no downloads (except on mobile), no user registration and it runs on all the popular platforms. To join a meeting you just click a link in an email, Slack or WhatsApp message, so it's ideal if you need to include people who are not fully computer literate. The feature set is very similar to Cisco Webex, except that when you record it goes to your own DropBox account, which I reckon is a pretty cool thing. All in all it's just about the easiest tool there is to use. Just get away from thinking of prearranged "meeting rooms" and compare it instead with ad-hoc meetings on street corners, in bars or even at the local park. With Jitsi you just name your meeting and post the link to anyone you'd like to have join you. One click and they're in.

I can't say if it will do all the things you list exactly as you'd like them, but it'll cost you nothing to find out. Just open Chrome or Firefox, type https://meet.jit.si/MyMeetingName (the last bit is anything you like), send the URL to a bunch of other people and wait for them to pop up.

Hi

Late to the party but here is my two pennies.

Jitsi will give you the team video conferencing platform and is easy to set up and maintain, the user registration portion is cumbersome as it is based on XAMPP not OAuth but it's not beyond most devs to set that up, Jitsi will allow you record your meetings/vidcasts but there are more specific products for that on the market (Shotcut, Lightworks come to mind) for actual Vlogging/Podcasting.

Phin .
