A common issue with Zoom is the "half-duplex" operation, where only one person can speak at a time, and another person speaking will cause an interrupt and take control. Hence the infernal mute button is so needed. Does Jitsi allow for a "full-duplex" communication to occur? An example scenario is two people singing a duet, which is impossible on a Zoom call.
Many Thanks, Garry
For weeks I have been researching to find an open source video conferencing platform that allows integration from native clients. I am working on a solution that would need to communicate from a native app via a windows dll (at least initially). Ultimately, I want any OS to talk to it natively. A lot of platforms provide the JavaScript interface (like Jitsi) but wrapping this in a windows dll is both complicated and has a huge footprint. What open source video conference servers are available that have native windows clients that can be packaged in a DLL?
Hi Mark! I work for a company called Whereby where we allow developers to easily embed video meetings on their app or website using a simple API. If you're interesting in hearing more you can contact me on maddy.trusewich@whereby.com

I don't recommended to use WebRTC for group meeting because when you have a lot of participants of a meeting so in this case, it will happen hung in the connection because the stream pass over http, also webRTC support maximum 256 participants of a group meeting. webRTC is good for calling peer to peer. you can use zoom program and then integrate it with your project via api or embedded system
Hi Anas, Jitsi as a Service has announced 500 participants with the sign for this to increase in our road map. Its really great for webrtc
Jitsi requires no downloads (except on mobile), no user registration and it runs on all the popular platforms. To join a meeting you just click a link in an email, Slack or WhatsApp message, so it's ideal if you need to include people who are not fully computer literate. The feature set is very similar to Cisco Webex, except that when you record it goes to your own DropBox account, which I reckon is a pretty cool thing. All in all it's just about the easiest tool there is to use. Just get away from thinking of prearranged "meeting rooms" and compare it instead with ad-hoc meetings on street corners, in bars or even at the local park. With Jitsi you just name your meeting and post the link to anyone you'd like to have join you. One click and they're in.
I can't say if it will do all the things you list exactly as you'd like them, but it'll cost you nothing to find out. Just open Chrome or Firefox, type https://meet.jit.si/MyMeetingName (the last bit is anything you like), send the URL to a bunch of other people and wait for them to pop up.
Hi
Late to the party but here is my two pennies.
Jitsi will give you the team video conferencing platform and is easy to set up and maintain, the user registration portion is cumbersome as it is based on XAMPP not OAuth but it's not beyond most devs to set that up, Jitsi will allow you record your meetings/vidcasts but there are more specific products for that on the market (Shotcut, Lightworks come to mind) for actual Vlogging/Podcasting.
