I know during COVID I tried Jitsi Meet eith a friend and we had quality issues using the FSF server. Zoom was way better. Have not conferenced since then. Plus way more people have Zoom installed, tested, and know how to use it.

Also Zoom, people can dial in by phone. My wife conferences with a friend where that is required.

Would prefer a FOSS alternative. Sadly above is our experience which shows why Zoom is way more popular.

Yeah that seems to be my experience, at least with public servers. I have my own Jitsi server running on a N100 mini PC but have not tested extensively. Send me a message if you want to try it.

@helenslunch @furrowsofar I'm very happy with https://meet.coop - runs on BigBlueButton, secure and Open Source, but not free. But I don't mind paying for a good service.
