While Jitsi is open-source, most people use the platform they provide, meet.jit.si, for immediate conference calls. They have now introduced a “Know Your Customer” policy and require at least one of the attendees to log in with a Facebook, Github (Microsoft), or Google account.
One option to avoid this is to self-host, but then you’ll be identifiable via your domain and have to maintain a server.
As a true alternative to Jitsi, there’s jami.net. It is a decentralized conference app, free open-source, and account creation is optional. It’s available for all major platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android), including on F-Droid.
This almost sounds like a 5D chess move to promote using alternative instances instead of the main demo. I’m thinking of selfhosting one for my friends group.
Requiring an acc is understandable but making it Meta/MS and not even something like openID really kills the vibe.
What’s openID?

If you’re gonna RTFM me like that at least do it properly https://lmddgtfy.net/?q=what is openid 😝
I asked because from the name it looked too generic to find with a simple search, but I guess I was wrong, I just overthought it
