Thankfully nothing like this is in Jitsi Meet’s TOS: https://jitsi.org/meet-jit-si-terms-of-service/ It never ceases to amaze me how companies choose the worst software!
I started using matrix internally (with element as a client) which uses jitsi under the hood for video/voice chat. Quality is amazing.
I wouldn't be surprised if this "AI clause" is a staple in ToS going forward. Brace for Meta to call it in for Instagram and WhatsApp, if they haven't already (WhatsApp, in particular).

Because "company policies"
This. I personally can switch but how do I communicate with my other colleagues? It's hard to convey people to move into a whole new stack without significant effort.
If really necessary for some particular chat I can use Zoom's in-browser page, ignoring its ridiculous auto-download of the native client. (I didn't even know a page could do that, before.)

+1 for Jitsi. They are awesome, lightweight, and just work with the least hassle. Pretty bad that many nontechnical users are not aware of it compared to Google Meet or Teams.
It's also much more responsive than teams. They seem to optimize frame rate over resolution and teams seems to do the opposite. Having used both I find the framerate more important as it's much easier to interpret quick facial expressions. But teams looks glossier which makes it easier to sell I guess.

I feel as if 2023 could become the inflection point where we will finally start investing in our own infrastructure again. Video calls for example are really a commodity service to be set up at this point.
Odds of any company spending the millions of dollars required to do that poorly, let alone going the extra distance to do it right: about zero.
I hope this goes viral and Zoom dies a quick death. They went too far with this and I hope they suffer the consequences.
Where were you when Microsoft announced the exact same for Teams? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2022/06/1...
By allowing Microsoft do as they please, we collectively gave up our rights for privacy, we deserve what's happening
I chose to not use their products at all, it starts from there if you care
One of my doctors uses Zoom for tele-health appointments... How is this not a violation of HIPAA?

Where do you live? In the US at least, landline (AKA POTS) is still the gold standard for audio quality.
I live in France, landline had a distinct background white noise to it that somehow Skype managed to imitate. Switching to any other software feels like you're upgrading to HD audio.

It's useful. It's more of a large-scale broadcast situation. Think of large corporate town halls, town council meetings, etc.
At some point though why not just collect questions beforehand, record the whole thing and let people watch it on their own time. At that scale there'll be no interactivity during the meeting anyway.
If something they said in the main presentation was missing important details that you need to do you work, why do you need to wait days/weeks for them to gather all the questions, find all the answers, and publish a video, when they could just answer it live in a few seconds?!
