I’m looking to host a online event and I was wondering your alls opinion on this software
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 used BigBlueButton in a team, even had someone connect it to SIP, I think
For the most part it just worked, a great product
It works as well as the other corporate offerings. It does depend a bit on who’s hosting it.
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.
Yes
I used to be a fan, unless I was doing something wrong on the website, you can only log in with proprietary software like github. You used to be able to just create a room. I realize that presents its own problems, but email should be an option.
Presently, on meet.jit.si, only the moderator needs to be logged in. Everyone else can just join the meeting with no need to log in.
But that’s just the one that Jitsi runs. The Guardian Project has a Jitsi Monitor that can point you to some other Jitsi instances.
Not unlike Lemmy. If you don’t like the way things are run on one server, check a different one.
I just tried it out, went to (https://meet.jit.si/), and the usual put in a room name, and start up a meeting still exists.
Self host it. Their hosted version has KYC requirements, same as Zoom etc. The self-hosted version has none of that.
Our company uses jitsi. We had zoom before but for some reason IT decided to go with Jitsi.
