Multi-party video calling using completely free software (on both the
client and server side) is possible using the Jitsi Meet[1] software.

The initial plan for FedRTC is to run a basic service supporting
two-party calls.  We would also potentially enable multi-user chat (MUC
in XMPP terminology).

We would then look at strategies to enable multi-user video calls, this
would depend on the packaging of Jitsi Meet (or the emergence of any
alternatives that are easier to package) and the number of people
interested in helping manage the service.
