    Comments about Jitsi Meet as an Alternative to Zoom
    Comment summary: Jitsi Meet is praised for being open-source, easier to use, and offering better UI compared to Zoom. Users appreciate its privacy features, lack of registration requirement, and cross-platform capabilities. It is considered more trustworthy and secure, with no limitations on number of participants or meeting duration. The ability to use it without downloads and host your server adds to its appeal, though comments emphasize the similarity in functionality to Zoom.

    Go with jitsi over zoom, it's more trustworthy and web based. It's also been around longer than zoom.

    Feels like Zoom but open source, easier to use, and much better UI. I think my grandma could use this just fine if that says anything!

    It's self hosted and Open Source. In the meanwhile, it has all the capabilities of Zoom

    BigBlueButton is not an alternative Zoom client. It does not allow the user to join a Zoom meeting with other Zoom users. Listing it as an alternative Zoom client is misleading.

    BBB is stable and has a lot of good features.

    Everything you need for chatting works, and you can create Group links, joining code, manage user permissions and more.
