A while back, after hours of frustration, I gave up on jitsi sip and am no longer trying to get it to work.

That is one reason I am looking for alternatives. However, some courts are using zoom so its probably not as bad as the security folks make it out to be. > > > If anyone has self-hosted ways to do multiparty videoconferencing with > SIP so that linphone works as a client, please speak up!
I was one of the original users of linphone and used it for years, but it became too buggy and linux support has been truncated. So though I would love to use it (if for no other reason than its great address capability) I have sadly abandoned linphone. I went back to using video-less Twinkle several months ago and it works perfectly with diamondcard.us (sip). I use it constantly.
