Comment on Pyrite – open-source video conferencingparent

Comments

Dunno, I used it 2+ years ago with friends who had setup their own instance (I presume meet.jit.si was also a thing back then but I don't know that for sure) and that worked as well as any other web-based call solution at the time.

And all web-based solutions (maybe with the exception of BBB, didn't use that back then) were quite a bit worse than Zoom with its native apps.

...we were talking about web clients I thought? I've not used a desktop client to do calls since maybe Skype in 2015 or so, I didn't realize anyone still used that because of the extra hassle.

Even MSN did video calls and that shut down basically the year Zoom was founded, let alone was used by anyone. This wasn't new among desktop clients, either.

Zoom is widely used with the native clients and mobile apps, so I was talking about those. Not sure how good/not good Zoom on the web is/was.
