Quite honestly I would be love to hear an argument as to why anyone would use zoom over jitsi. I'm not trying to be controversial, and I readily admits I've only used zoom maybe twice, but I saw nothing that was better than jitsi.
I also had performance issues on zoom, but I'm willing to ignore that since most other people don't seem to mention those issue so that's probably on me.
- Schroedingersat 4y agoMain downsides I knw of are a slightly worse codec, and in webrtc mode bandwidth needs to scale with participants so for large meetings you need to pay for hosting somehow. Neither are reasons not to use it as a default first option. Also matrix has voice and video now and there's big blue button.
- lokedhs 4y agoI've never used voice in Matrix, but I was sure that it was implemented using Jitsi on the backend?
- Schroedingersat 4y agoElement had a jitsi plugin i think. the matrix voice/video is new and i only used it once
- fold3 4y agoMy aunt that do remote conference a lot told me jitsi is slow and ureliable? She's not very tech savy so maybe she had a bad experience at the time when lockdown happen and the servers might have been overloaded.
- Kwpolska 4y agoPrevious job was using self-hosted Jitsi. And it was often a trainwreck, with random disconnections, terrible video quality (and we didn’t use it very often), some people ~always displaying "connection lost" even though we could hear each other fine, some people always having connection issues and being disconnected after a few seconds. Zoom and Teams are much more stable.
