What does not work with jitsi? I've been using a lot recently and it is by far the easiest one to use. One link and done. I have lots of video and audio issues with zoom. Now, if you're a company, bluejeans may be the best one.

I think both video and audio were skippy to the point of uselessness. I've also used Jitsi with moderate success with a couple of interlocutors, where video disappeared now and then. I'm not a company, I'm at a university, and the u. has decided to use Zoom, perhaps because it doesn't care about security, or because it thinks being concerned about Zoom is being paranoid.

There was a period a few months ago where jitsi was consistently crashing chromebooks. Obviously, if a webpage can crash the OS, it's an OS problem, but it still made jitsi unusable for those with chromebooks.

  Well, obviously you're not going to have good performance from a web app. Why didn't they install the native app ?

    The native app doesn't work with the free 8x8 rooms, as far as I could tell. I'm not sure I consider not crashing the OS when the conference starts 'good performance' so much as 'working'. Running it in Firefox at the time was bad performance (sluggish), haven't tested since.

If you're going to have 10+ People in the meeting, there will be issues. Video/Audio getting bad, People loose have signal, etc. There is also a very noticable load on even more powerful PCs once you have some more people in the call. So jitsi might work for one-on-ones but slightly bigger conference calls are a no-go.

  I tried this and can confirm! I always had about 6-8 persons and never got this issue before. Well, this actually explains a lot of comments I see about Jitsi.

  For 10-100 people, use BigBlueButton instead.
