I suggested it in #1137 and thus had to remove encrypted from the title. @nitrohorse OKed it, but I understand if you wish to remove it.

I think Mumble may be more beginner friendly than Linphone and currently the only other suggestion is Jitsi Meet, which requires WebRTC that many are going to have disabled thanks to the Firefox tweaks.
