“There are some functionalities that others don’t have , such as breacout rooms, whiteboard, and broadcasting of YouTube videos to all the participans. We also added a support for sharing videos from PeerTube, a French-developed, open-source YouTube ekivalent. The academic community appreciated these functionalities.
