Hi guys! So I’ve just discovered jitsi meet. My girlfriend might have a good use for this, as she’s tired of the time limit for the free tier of Zoom. Plus, the most recent concerns regarding AI training. So, back to jitsi… Besides the obvious concern of running on other people’s servers…is there any disadvantage to scheduling meetings over just by using https://meet.jit.si/? What are the advantages of self-hosting? Is there any extra feature I’d gain? Any limitation by using their online service?

Thanks!

      At the moment, “Element Call is temporarily not end-to-end encrypted while we test scalability.”

      That’s completely false. The connection between users and the server is encrypted with HTTPS and you can even turn on end to end encryption if you want. Jitsi doesn’t even work over unencrypted HTTP.
