After this announcement, I am planning to reject meetings organised in zoom. But the problem is that it’s really good. So, is there any privacy friendly and viable alternatives to zoom? It does not have to be open source because I nearly tried all alternatives. Your experiences?
I’m really surprised privacy guides doesn’t include jitsi… You can self-host if your very paranoid.
GROUP CALLS! OPEN SOURCE! SELF hOSTING FRIENDLY. Join with a link in any web browser

It’s amazing. You can do peer-to-peer video chat. Nobody else can see it. It’s open source. You can host it on anything. If you just want to have a video call with a bunch of people you can make a jitsi link to share it with all of them. You can embed it in a calendar invite.
If you use matrix or element they have jitsi support baked in now or at least in beta.
As far as wire signal and the other end-to-end encrypted messengers go they don’t really do group calls well. So jitsi the best for getting groups of people to work together
