So Twilio's SDK counts, but Jitsi's doesn't because ...? You can build custom interfaces with all your requested features with that too.
The difference in the ability of a developer to modify an open source software product (think: Gimp or Jitsi Meet) to suit their needs versus using a platform SDK that is designed to provide flexibility and to be used by devs is massive. I spent some time looking at the Jitsi Meet source to confirm this assertion: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/ It was quite clear that trying to use that code to execute my use c…

Does Twilio still use Zoom for internal voice & video employee collaboration?
I worked there for a few years and left Twilio not long ago. I always thought it was super strange how Twilio doesn’t dog food any of its own service.
Some examples: - Twilio Flex isn’t used for support desk - Slack is massively used at Twilio vs Twilio Chat - Zoom is massively used vs Twilio video - employees don’t text yet SMS is your core business
And more

#53Don't really like the misleading projects Twilio releases as "open source". They are basically releasing demo code of how to use their commercial, paid for backend service and while that demo code is open-source, I don't think that's what people are thinking of when they read that title. I think most people think they are releasing some kind of self-hosted solution. At least that's what I think when I read this. With…
Knowing twilio's business model, I knew exactly what was meant by the title.

I read and re-read this "examples" docs page several times:
https://github.com/jitsi/lib-jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/API....
Hats off to anyone who can rapidly go from those docs to a deployed and working app. I was able to modify the repo linked in the parent to suit my needs in roughly 2-3 hours, much of which was install/setup.

#55Disclaimer: I used to work at Twilio I'm seeing discussion below about fully open-source solutions (Jitsi Meet) vs. fully proprietary solutions (Zoom). What's interesting about using Twilio is that it is a programmable solution. Case in point: I am building a webpage where people can log-in to a virtual office, so that people working from home don't feel so lonely. I have certain requirements, such as: - All audio is…
please share when you're done, we've started using Zoom and it's unusable for any non trivial feature on my linux machine.

It definitely has a lot of potential but nobody is going to re-assign a bunch of engineers to code up a solution to their immediate need for massive teleconferencing capabilities today - as I imagine the timing of this launch is heavily influenced by the Coronaviris and current demand of these tools. Where I think it does play in is that while Zoom is probably making a lot of sales right now, they are probably starti…

No, but I bet a lot of places are (like the big enterprise shop I'm in) both scaling out their existing solutions for things like conferencing and VDI that were initially chosen to support more limited use and starting to consider long-term solutions to support more comprehensive at-need remote work.

Adding text chat to this would also be quite handy
