I’m looking to host a online event and I was wondering your alls opinion on this software
Yes, nowadays and in the future my eye is on element call https://github.com/element-hq/element-call
It works as well as the other corporate offerings. It does depend a bit on who’s hosting it.
Creatove Freedom Summit (https://creativefreedomsummit.com/) are doing their events with Jitsi, seems to be working fine. Other options would be Nextcloud Talk where someone recently told me they’re using it in a university setting with lots of people and BigBlueButton which is also used by universities.
We tried to host it ourselves to save cost, and it’s a beast but it mostly works. It certainly lags behind in features and uses a lot of resources, but when you compare with the cost it’s certainly passable.
It’s probably the best one when it comes to web-based videocalls. I had much better experience with native apps (e.g. Mumble) when it comes to sound quality though.
