[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Anyone try out Jitsi Meet yet? Free, open source meeting software like Zoom.

[Harry Forsdick]

Drew,

Before Zoom ascended to the top of the heap, I was using Jitsi because it
was so simple to use.  I still think it is impressive, but I'm afraid Zoom
has won the hearts and minds of the world because of their clever offering
of their system to the world for free in a time of need -- perhaps that's
better marketing.

I suspect Jitsi might be easier to integrate into larger, commonly used
systems in use.  For example, I like a conferencing system that could be
integrated into web-based applications as easily as HTML/CSS/JS embeds can
be done.  Can't figure out how to get Zoom to work in this style, haven't
tried it with Jitsi because if it isn't Zoom most people will shy away from
it.
