Sorry, no advice running Gentoo on RPi. I run OSMC/Kodi on an older RPi, and it works fine, but I don't think there are any video conference apps for Kodi. But... For skype and zoom, I'd probably just buy them a 10" Kindle Fire. There are Zoom and Skype apps available for it. Main drawback: smallish screen and limited to 4 video windows at a time in zoom. However, it's portable: you can flip to the back camera and walk around the house/yard to show something to people. It's also nice in that you can just tap on a Zoom invite url in the email app, and it "just works". I haven't trie Skype on Fire. You can add hangounts/duo, but you've got to futz around sideloading the Google App store first. -- Grant
