Virtual meetings and video conferences from Germany with real data protection. Sophisticated features bring teams together for flexible, productive and creative collaboration.
Although it has always been a pain. Back when I used Nextcloud, I tried Nextcloud Talk which always had less problems for me and was much easier to set up.
I know during COVID I tried Jitsi Meet eith a friend and we had quality issues using the FSF server. Zoom was way better. Have not conferenced since then. Plus way more people have Zoom installed, tested, and know how to use it.
Also Zoom, people can dial in by phone. My wife conferences with a friend where that is required.
Would prefer a FOSS alternative. Sadly above is our experience which shows why Zoom is way more popular.
@helenslunch@furrowsofar I’m very happy with https://meet.coop - runs on BigBlueButton, secure and Open Source, but not free. But I don’t mind paying for a good service.
BBB (Big Blue Button, for those unfamiliar) seems to be the favorite of lots of institutions in Germany. I think a government agency recommended its use, that’s why it’s so widespread.
I really wish Jitsi had taken off during lockdowns. MS Teams I can understand, businesses all use Microsoft, but Zoom is just vile shite.
Jitsi has done a lot to improve functionality since lock down. Still pretty basic, but it’s free and can do moderation.
And it’s self-hostable.
Looks like you can self-host OpenTalk too: https://gitlab.opencode.de/opentalk/ot-setup
Very nice.

I love Jitsi, I use it a lot at work but lately some attendants have problems to connect from other parts of the world and we end up going to Teams :/

So true. I prefer BBB a lot though.
