Hi guys! So I’ve just discovered jitsi meet. My girlfriend might have a good use for this, as she’s tired of the time limit for the free tier of Zoom. Plus, the most recent concerns regarding AI training. So, back to jitsi… Besides the obvious concern of running on other people’s servers…is there any disadvantage to scheduling meetings over just by using https://meet.jit.si/? What are the advantages of self-hosting? Is there any extra feature I’d gain? Any limitation by using their online service?

Thanks!

I love jitsi,as a concept. Before the pandemic i tried to schedule video calls on jitsi. Unfortunately it required more tech savvyness from people to get everything connected and working, and we ended up using other services.

I would love to go back to jitsi. Im hoping getting connected, and the call quality are better now. Id really like to see jitsi be the top choice for video calling …

I used jitsi extensively with my students during the pandemic. It really is a lot better now, and very easy to use.
