I am afraid that the free model of their service will not work very well if tens of thousands of teams start to use this now. It is easier to trust the known brands and organizations that also charges a bit when you use their system a lot.
I'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…

I proposed Zoom vs Jitsi Meet the other day for a virtual hangout with a group of friends. They initially wanted to try Zoom... because of the virtual backgrounds. Yup, that is what they wanted. I shall suggest Jitsi Meet again soon ;).
It isn't just a gimmick, it is a legit feature when working from home and you don't want everyone to see your messy kitchen or bedroom. Sadly the chrome app version you have to use for ChromeOS doesn't support that feature anyway :(

Confirming that it isn’t a gimmick. I have been working on distributed WFH Teams for the past 5 years now (long before COVID19) and this has been a consistent point of embarrassment and/or trouble with video conferencing. I can’t begin to tell you how many times we have had people that need extra time to prepare for a meeting because of the background. As a manager, I have had lots of personal conversations with empl…
That blur looks great. Too bad I have literally never been able to successfully join a Teams call. Every single time we have to fall back to telephone.

I can't convince anyone to not use Facetime.
The typing animation in the placeholder draws all my attention. Puzzled, I tried to make sense of ForwardShelvesCollapseClose for several seconds, when I should have been reading the landing page copy.
The principle to design by omission is to ask if an element answers the question you want me to ask, or raises the question you want me to ask, e.g.
1. "How much does it cost?" 2. "Where do I buy it?" 3. "How do I share it?"

I use it with Firefox and it works just fine
It works on Firefox but does not have simulcast support so whenever someone on Firefox joins, other devices have to use vastly more CPU and bandwidth. My phone dropped 50% battery in 10 minutes with a Firefox user on. It is being worked on [1]. Firefox was a supported browser but they took it off the list in January until this issue is fixed.

Anyway, we were using talky.io, which is also a WebRTC based solution and it worked really well. No registration, good Audio/Video quality, screen sharing. No background blurring though, if that's what you need.
