jitsi VS BigBlueButton

Yep, best client I found. It is still being updated, but no official releases, you just get latest from the git tags section: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi/tags

Hopefully they can improve performance: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi/issues/470

- Jitsi (Java)

As for other licenses, you must check them individually. "Open source" has lots of meanings and sub-branches, so you must pay attention to the fine details. Jitsi, for instance, allows you to do anything with their code – including commercial use: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi/blob/master/LICENSE

Came across [Jitsi](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/releases/tag/v2023.7.2) and [BigBlueButton](https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton), does anyone have experience of running these or others in production?

Middle managers not adapting. When my old job when remote for Covid, my manager would hold telecons, despite having access to videoconference software with the capability to document and screen share (IT setup BigBlueButton ). He would talk to slides we couldn't see, and we were lucky if he sent them out in email before hand.

BBB team has not implemented this feature yet I suppose. https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/issues/1428

You should try BBB : https://bigbluebutton.org/

https://bigbluebutton.org/ is a free and open source classroom software. I would stick to indiependent and free software in your situation

I haven't used it to stream movies, but I use BigBlueButton fairly regularly for video/voice calls

Big Blue Button (https://bigbluebutton.org) is one. We actually used it at work for meetings but it seems they have since pivoted to be for more virtual classroom.

I agree though, even that would need decent IT talent to setup and maintain.
