I’m currently running Grapheme OS on a pixel. One thing that I’ve had trouble finding is a secure video chat option. I’m assuming that its because such a thing in a secure environment is hard to come by / impossible.
The only options I’ve found are things where you must self host like element etc. Is this the only way?
I realize there may be nuanced answers to this question that I may be overlooking as I’m still relatively new to online security/privacy so I apologize in advance if this is a moot question.
If you’re looking for something professional, Jitsi is open-source and only requires one person to have an account to use it… You might have a better experience if you self-host or find someone who does.
jitsi really screwed up, it’s unusable now. they took down their default instance without explanation, and put it behind big tech logins.
half the public instances dont work either, there’s no clear indication of e2ee in the UX either
They posted a reason, but unfortunately the reason was it was getting abused.
But I did discover something: the list of alternative servers, which might not have been very up-to-date anyway, has vanished from their servers sometime after February.
