#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
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?
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.
I was thinking in terms of B2C economics... $99 for 300 MAU would be crazy for a consumer startup product. $99 for 300 internal business users is completely different.

Should give you stereo, high-quality audio suitable for music, with echo cancellation disabled.
One of the things that makes Jitsi not perfect however is that I understand that Jitsi Videobridge is an SFU, thus not appropriate for a large conference. Perhaps now they have a way to monetise, they can add this and charge for bandwidth/CPU usage.

#25I host the Asia-Pacific weekly meetup for BeWelcome every Thursday night, starting in about an hour (23:00 NZDT, 18:00 UTC+8) https://meet.jit.si/BeWelcome-Chat_4MembersVolunteers BeWelcome is like CouchSurfing, but free and open-source. The leaders therefore chose to support other OSS where possible, including Jitsi. Less than 25 people attend regularly, but hopefully it can grow (not many people travelling these da…

Is it only available for MacOS? When I go to the download page, it only shows me download for MacOS.

#27Does anybody know a video conferencing tool with low CPU usage while screen sharing? All the tools I've tried, including Jitsi, slow down my computer to a crawl.
It’s crazy that I’m 2021 we don’t have video calling that isn’t a ginormous performance hog

#28>We're charging on a Monthly Active User (MAU)
>Pricing starts at $0.35/MAU and decreases based on volume.
>An MAU is defined as a unique user who attended at least one meeting, with at least one other user, in the same month. To determine a unique user, we store an identifier on the device's local storage, and that will remain the same as long as the user uses the same browser and same device and doesn't clear their local cache data. Mobile is similar. An identifier remains across updates and gets removed if you delete the app.
So does that mean that if they are running Cookie AutoDelete or Temporary Containers addons, or simply clear all their browser data after exiting, any single user could easily eat all your user limit if they just repeatedly connected to the service? Or, even just having a single person connect on their desktop, laptop and phone once would eat 3 of your licenses?

On the contrary, this is how you can scale up to large conferences. We do bridge cascading, you can read more about it here: https://jitsi.org/blog/jitsi-meet-now-with-geographical-brid...
We are now working on very large conferences, expect some news soon :-)

#30Congrats this seems like a very needed product! We tried Jitsi for our web app (1), but ultimately settled on Daily.co for it's pricing and easy developer experience. How does JaaS stability compare to Jitsi? Any one here chose Jitsi over Daily? 1. https://codingrooms.com/
I can't comment on pricing, but would you mind elaborating on the DX part?
> How does JaaS stability compare to Jitsi?
They are the same. JaaS is a different deployment from meet.jit.si, using the same tech.
