If you or your colleagues are running Chrome, or a recent version
Firefox (Version 40 or higher IIRC) then checkout https://meet.jit.si/

It's a WebRTP application in Javascript, essentially the same technology
as used for Google Hangouts.  The big unanswered question is: will it be
able to interact with your web cam and sound system via FreeBSD?

As the server system is written in node.js, there's a good chance you
could get that running on a FreeBSD box too, should you want to provide
your own private instance.
