> 3. The onboarding for new users (basically just share a link) is dead simple. Zoom realized that the install process was a significant barrier and did more than anyone else to lower that barrier (of course, with lots of security/privacy issues to boot, but your average Joe isn't aware of those).
I really don't get why Jitsi hasn't taken over the world yet, given that it's even simpler: just share the link, and the receiver doesn't even have to install anything.
(Also, doesn't the gallery view exist in every major videoconf platform? I've seen it in at least Jitsi, Whereby and Gotomeeting... And Zoom's browser mode (which is less accessible than Jitsi's) doesn't even support it.)
- hn_throwaway_99 7y agoThe gallery view in other videoconf platforms doesn't even compare. I've had flawless experiences with 12-16 people, all in a grid across my screen. Every other system I've used had some version of rotating people in/out when there are more than 4 people. Was a night and day experience.
- Vinnl 7y agoReally? Did the ones you tried happen to be other ones than those I mentioned? Because they just showed all 12-16 at the same time, IIRC.
