    We tried to host it ourselves to save cost, and it’s a beast but it mostly works. It certainly lags behind in features and uses a lot of resources, but when you compare with the cost it’s certainly passable.

    It’s probably the best one when it comes to web-based videocalls. I had much better experience with native apps (e.g. Mumble) when it comes to sound quality though.

    Follow-up question: what’s the difference between Jitsi and Jitsi Meet? Also, why Java for Jitsi?

    I used to be a fan, unless I was doing something wrong on the website, you can only log in with proprietary software like github. You used to be able to just create a room. I realize that presents its own problems, but email should be an option.

      Presently, on meet.jit.si, only the moderator needs to be logged in. Everyone else can just join the meeting with no need to log in.

      But that’s just the one that Jitsi runs. The Guardian Project has a Jitsi Monitor that can point you to some other Jitsi instances.

      Not unlike Lemmy. If you don’t like the way things are run on one server, check a different one.

      Self host it. Their hosted version has KYC requirements, same as Zoom etc. The self-hosted version has none of that.

        What’s with the KYC anyway? Who put that requirement?

          Communication platforms are going to be abused by organised crime, pedofiles and all kinds of unsavoury people. KYC rules mean that if a platform finds that kind of content, they can report it to the appropriate authorities.

          I dont know whether its by a law, or something else, but even if you self host its a good idea to know who your users are and what they are doing.

    Our company uses jitsi. We had zoom before but for some reason IT decided to go with Jitsi.

        Now rank those.

        Given a choice between Cost and Stable, if you have to prioritize one, which is It?

        Then we’re going to compare the others against each other. Then we’re going to add in security of the stream. Then logging. Then privacy. Then security of the auth. Then suggest federation. Then interoperability with other media like POTS. Then anonymity. Then spam resistance. Then identity/trust assurance. Then your OS preference, server and client. Then onPrem (or private cloud) vs public cloud. Then apps vs appliances vs containers. Then C vs Java vs Rust vs perl.

        Get cracking. “Good” has so many facets.
