Hi,

With Ekiga  it is possible to start a video call form bash using 'Ekiga -c
xxx.yy...@ekiga.net.
This starts the GUI and activates the call.
(It used to be possible with Skype too, adding userid/password + call
contact.
I used this for an application for elderly people that cannot use a mouse
or keyboard,
but it doesn't work anymore with skypeforlinux.   I'd love to forget about
Skype ..
It is possible with Ekiga,  but the screen and sound tend to freeze..)

Has anybody find a similar solution other than Skype or Ekiga ?

I have been trying so far with Viber, Linphone and Ring without success...
Maybe there are better solutions ?

Brgds,

Yvo Brasseur.
