There doesn't appear to be a share-window/share-screen option which feels like that makes this a non-starter for a lot of work-related applications.
It works. I hosted a meetup Friday night using it for the jackbox games.

#32How well does Jitsi scale? Can it handle a group of say 15 or so participants on a variety of devices?

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
+1 this is an awful name if you want to get anyone serious on board. Seems super scammy.
I don't get a malware/scam vibe from the name, but I'm probably missing something. What makes you think that?
It's a feeling, so not easily rationalizable... I wonder if it has anything to do with being "Gypped" (), but for me even outside of that connotation, the word evokes negative feeling.
() Interestingly, I too have for the first time looked up the etymology and feel uncomfortable; I think because I've only ever heard it before, and assumed it was spelled differently like "Jipped" or something https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/12/30/242429836...

#37I've tried Jitsi Meet and found it to be smooth. During a hangout call with a group of ~8 friends I introduced it as an alternative. User experience comparison: Onboarding: Jitsi: Click a URL. No accounts. Hangouts: Google account. Need to individually invite other Google accounts. Video Quality: Jitsi: Decent, slightly better than hangouts. Hangouts: Passable but grainy. Video Layout: Jitsi: Automatically big-screen…

Hangouts (now Meet) is better geared towards GSuite orgs where you're already logged into Google since you have to be to access almost all of your other internal company/school resources, including gmail. It also solves the contacts problem since everyone will be in the company directory.

#38The home page looks like it was designed by a 20 year old who lives in a world of Javascript package managers. Get someone over 50 in there to kick them and remind them that "Start a new meeting" with things like "LeopardBottomSniffer" appearing under it means nothing to anyone but developers. Here's a better design, in text: - Who are we? This is Jitsi Meet video conferencing - How do I use it? Just type a name for…
I looked at Jitsi's website and Github yesterday and couldn't find any documentation. For example, it wasn't clear to me why I would want to run Videobridge, or what features Meet has.

#40We have a lot of experience working with Jitsi Meet, if anyone has questions integrating Jitsi, free to send me an email john@taskade.com. Happy to help!
I found that it had some issues with people connecting via the web clients. Is there a way to mitigate that or is that just expected with the software?
Do you mean some parties are unable to connect? There are some open issues, limitations, and Jitsi Meet does not officially support all browsers.
Here is the supported list:
