You know that they could just fork it, right? Saying that “it’s american”, just causes FUD for opensource.
I was hosting it 5 years ago in a 2gb or 4gb VPS. We were able to run 1440p@120hz, if not higher, streams of our games. The server didn’t seem to care much about the load.
I wonder what is wrong with jitsi…
It supports e2ee, so the French government can’t listen in on the calls
Seems like e2ee is being worked on for Meet as well.
It’s American.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I didn’t say it was a good reason.
I believe this was mostly about stability with 100+ meeting participants. This is second hand information though.
As others said, large meetings with many video feeds at the same time.
Have you tried selfhosting it? For me, it was unusable, despite a beefy cloud server, even for just 2 people. And thats ignoring setup complexity.
This one is optimized and kubernetes ready, which makes it super easy. Will try out soon.

That sounds amazing, because I tried it last year and it was like 12 fps with 2 people in a 720p videocall
