- STRML 7y agoJitsi's P2P nature is great for 1:1 or small group conversations if everyone has solid connections. From experience it starts to break down with larger groups, and becomes pretty useless overall if one or two participants have spotty connections.
- lima 7y agoJitsi is not P2P for group conversations - all streams are multiplexed by the server (the videobridge). 100% agreed about spotty connections, it does not handle them very well. As long as everyone has a decent connection and enough CPU, it handles groups of 10+ participants just fine. My company ended up switching to Google Meet for reliability reasons, but was a year ago so it might be better now.

- teekert 7y agoYeah, it's a shame, had to install the Chromium snap only for this (Ubuntu 19.10). But then it did work very well (don't forget to enable the "record and play sound" permission for the snap.)
- lambertsimnel 7y agoDoes Jitsi have the option for admins to mute or expel guests?
- s_gourichon 7y agoYes, admins can mute and kick. And if you allow anonymous channel creation, the first to enter a channel automatically has admin right. I don't know if kicked participants (especially unauthenticated) can re-join at once, after a delay or any other rule.
- lambertsimnel 7y agoThat's encouraging, but on Jitsi Meet all guests seem to be able to kick out others. Is the option to appoint admins specific to self-hosted instances?
