Jitsi is awesome! We were using https://appear.in https://appear.in for video chat in https://cocalc.com https://cocalc.com, but appear.in made dramatic changes recently to greatly increase the friction in dynamically creating chatrooms. It was so bad, that we had to quit using appear.in, and thought we might have to get rid of video chat altogether. However, after searching, I found jitsi, which completely solves our problems, and is overall much better, scalable, and robust than appear.in was for us. We currently use jitsi's free hosted chatrooms (just go to https://meet.jit.si/[make https://meet.jit.si/[make up anything here]) and you get a chatroom created on the fly, but with Jitsi we have the option to also easily host on our server if need be, since it's open source. In any case, huge +1 to Jitsi , the team behind it, and the companies (Atlassian and 8x8) that are supporting the development of such fantastic open source infrastructure!
