It's pretty prominent on the screen, and you kind of have to make an effort to get rid of it (or at least I did - there wasn't much contrast between the 'x' and the rest of that popup). > > > On the other hand, I think some of what Jitsi has going for it is that > > it's somewhat decentralized -- if "my" server's settings are daft, it's > > *my* problem, not Jitsi's (same for any other service I run myself). > > Exactly - your hardware, your network.

It actually doesn't violate any ToS here (least not my ISP, and the previous two that I've had). Granted the previous ones (DSL and low-end cable) wouldn't have been able to host it. Current ISP is FTTH, so I've got bandwidth to spare. -- |_|O|_| |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: 05CA 9A50 3F2E 1335 4DC5 4AEE 8E11 DDF3 1279 A281
