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!

Jitsi is unencrypted. Jitsi may be unencrypted. Nothing wrong for personal use. You may want to use element call https://call.element.io/ * (edit: as soon as it is out of beta) or matrix

Edit: what I wrote wasn’t right
