Re: ditch voip/sip

A Zoom SIP connector seems to available for a fee to allow those users to join: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201363273-Getting-Started-With-H-323-SIP-Room-Connector

Also, note that it seems Zoom doesn't support chatbots within the live meeting chat (https://devforum.zoom.us/t/allow-chatbots-to-join-meeting-chats/8875), although we could still have parity with the join/part notifications we have in IRC today using the Meetings Events webhooks (https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference/meeting-events/participant-joined-meeting). So if we were to use Zoom, we may need to rewrite this integration and should keep all the chat and scribing within IRC for max accessibility.

I am wondering why sip is still the used method, especially given that ZOOM is used for other calls, even in the same group (e.g., did-resolution). I read in the mailing list archives that one of the reasons is audio recording, but AFAICT the audio recordings from most of the last meetings are missing (e.g., https://w3c-ccg.github.io/meetings/2020-05-19/audio.ogg https://w3c-ccg.github.io/meetings/2020-04-21/audio.ogg https://w3c-ccg.github.io/meetings/2020-04-07/audio.ogg and many others)
