I’ve tried it for calls with a few people and didn’t have a lot of connection related issues. If you’re able to, you could self-host a Jitsi Meet instance at any cloud service provider with a geographically closer presence to you. I’ve been thinking of doing that but haven’t tried it yet.
Jitsi Meet does eat up phone/tablet batteries a lot and also causes a lot of heating. I guess it could still be optimized further to handle these better (improvements to the client and platform have been pushed all these months too).
- conradev 6y agoI’m pretty sure all video conferencing tools cause a phone to heat up and lose battery: the camera, screen and radios are all constantly active
- barkingcat 6y agoself hosting Jitsi is pretty easy. They have a whole bunch of scripts that does everything for you.
- derrick_jensen 6y agoI tried Jitsi Meet in a conference call of forty people and we all switched to Google Meet because it was so unreliable and broken. This might have to do with compute limits on the server side (Kubernetes auto scaling?) but it didn’t work. I use MS Teams wherever possible because it just works and most group calls I am on are in a business context anyways so the other integrations are pretty useful
- cmroanirgo 6y agoI have it running on a 1cpu 1gb Ubuntu vps add can hold twenty or so people (audio only) at 15-40% cpu. (We're audio only because not everyone has good internet connections, and makes things run smoother). It's stable as a rock. Very impressed. The odd person will turn on video for no appreciable deficit to the rest, or the server.
