CoScreen, an app sharing and pair programming tool [1] runs on Jitsi / JaaS. I work on that project. We're really happy with the service since a reliable and fast global infrastructure is key for what we offer. [1] https://www.coscreen.co

Hi! This looks great. I'm assuming it being free is temporary, do you have any information on future pricing?

Thank you! We've not yet made a final decision about pricing yet, the first priority is to make it as reliable as we can and support multiple OS. However, there will very likely be some kind of free tier, similar to Slack and Zoom.

> Free for up to 25 monthly active users This is the only mention of pricing that I can find on your site unless I sign up. I wonder what the cost is for >25 MAU.

Video is crazy expensive.

I know the underlying infra is complex, but these costs mean you would need a lot of capital and a very aggressive monetization strategy from the get-go to even get started, no?

This looks really polished (...at least judging by the great marketing video...) will have to try it!.

May I ask how long have you guys been working on this? Just curious :-)

Thanks :) The idea has been around for a number of years but only beginning of last year (pre covid) we made the leap and started working full time on the project.

In my mind I'm comparing this to Teams/Slack/Zoom and so on - in that context it is cheap, no?

Not sure if this is the right context tough.

Now that they have commercialized the project, I suspect a rebranding away from "Meet" is probably coming next. It is obviously confusingly similar to Google Meet.

Well, they can also just wait for Google to either rename or kill off their product. /s

On a more serious note, it was never confusing to me - I didn't even notice they share the same word until now tbh. And quick search for "meet videoconferencing" shows quite a few of the products named similarly. To me it is almost as generic as "chat".
