I love Jitsi. Since the latest version even the remote desktop sharing on my ubuntu systems is working.

It is funny how you say 'right now'. Jitsi tends to be not that stable from time to time.. so I have the same feeling. :)

Advice: Use IPv6. If either party can not get a native connection look for a free tunnel provider. Start jitsi with -6 as parameter and it will prioritise v6 connections. This fixed all kinds of 'nat-nat-nat' setups that some friends are forced into. (Make sure the implications of having a public address are understood.)

Another wonderful thing about jitsi is the availability for multiple platforms and crypto support for otr or zrtp. There is also a video bridge is bandwidth is a concern on video calls.

Does anybody know an skype like echo system for sip or xmpp? Perhaps even with crypto and video support?
