qTox unmaintained. Is this the end of qTox?
If you go to https://github.com/qTox/qTox You will see the following: "Due to a lack of resources, qTox is no longer maintained. If someone with provable C++ experience and sufficient resources to maintain qTox wants to take over I'm happy to discuss that." So is someone going to "take over"? I really like qTox & would hate to see it go.

Mattermost-Alternative?
Qtox does all that, even if screen sharing was a bit obscure years ago. Qtox won't work on iOS but there is an Android release. Big advantages: no server required, easy to use, secure, open source.

Not sure what changed in Teamviewer's Detection scripts But it is no longer allowing Free Non-Commercial use for me. Can Teamviewer provide Home licenses or something to prevent their terrible auto detection from pushing me onto another Remote desktop service?
Take the hint, don't fight the push. TV doesn't want you freeloading non-commercials. I recommend Rustdesk.
