Amazon Chime, the tech giant’s underwhelming alternative to Zoom and Google Meet, is shutting down for good. The company on Wednesday confirmed it will end support for Chime, including its Business Calling features, on February 20, 2026.

    is there a generally recommended foss alternative? self host servers ok.

    I have some people that want to do zoom meetings for some stuff but not only is it closed source, shitty in general, and counterintuitive, it has a time limit. Like what the actual fuck…

      I don’t know of any personally, but if someone was to develop it, the North Star should be Around imo.

      It’s one of the best video conferencing apps I’ve ever used. I’ve used them all, even obscure ones you’ve probably never heard of. Miro Labs is unfortunately shutting Around down in a month though after acquiring it and folding whatever bits they wanted into their own software.
