Question for people who have to do a lot of #videoconferencing. Can I use #Signal to videoconference with clients who are not on Signal, or would they have to sign up? Also, can videocalls be scheduled in advance? I'm increasingly finding #Zoom to be a hassle and would like to switch to something non-proprietarial, but I'm a one-person business, and I don't really want to force people to join yet another platform if they're not already on it.
Suggestions?
