What would it take to make everyone switch to free software? We're moving from one non-free platform (zoom) to another (google meet), even if we have Jitsi that works very well... :/
Jitsi degrades beyond 16 or so interactive users. I love it and wish it well, but it's just not there yet. If the situation has changed in recent months, great then let's take a look.
Yeah, we try to use that as our first preference but it did not work as expected. In a recent usage in RBAC discussion a few weeks ago, many attendees complained about audio, joining issues or so. That is why we are using non-free tooling.
@zigo, If you have tried any free and stable platforms for video calls, please suggest and we will love to use that.

As I understand, the point isn't to make more than 16 persons talk in the meeting. Let me know if I'm wrong. In such case, a setup similar to Debconf (which used Jitsi for Debconf 2020 and 2021) can be used. You get just a few people in the meeting, and everyone else just listens to the broacast (ie: a regular online video in your browser or VLC). The full setup is well documented [1], and we have free software ansible scripts [2]. This allows thousands of attendees, plus recording and reviewing of the videos. I very much would love if there was some efforts put in this direction (or some similar setup, as long as it's fully free).
