I'm impressed with Jitsi, it all works pretty well. The only thing i noticed, compared to some of the proprietary solutions, is that my laptop got pretty hot because of CPU usage. I wonder if they're doing anything about that for the next release.

Which ones don’t? I get the same behavior from Slack, Lifesize, Hangouts Meet, and Zoom.

  Videoconferencing definitely takes a lot of CPU, but i haven't seen the same 'my laptop feels like a washing machine' with Hangouts and Zoom...

Jitsi simply forwards the video streams between users, whereas some proprietary services seem to re-encode everything into a single stream. So in a large conference each client might have to deal with decoding dozens of high-resolution streams. This is probably very difficult to solve without reducing video quality.

  Ah, i didn't know that. Seems to make sense why Jitsi takes more CPU then.
