Look into Big Blue Button and see if you can get your family to try that instead.

bigbluebutton is interesting. Thanks for the thought.

Many family members use Zoom, and like me, are past seven decades.
Several of the younger set use Zoom also.
I think I will not suggest change, I am the lone wolf.

    I just looked into this, having had an issue with Zoom recently. And
    it seems it allows for installing the server locally? Am I
    understanding this right, that one can have their own BBB server and
    provide access to others to connect to and share/chat?
    
    If that's the case, why would anyone need skype, zoom, etc? Only
    would need to secure one's own BBB server properly. Can someone
    confirm, please?
