Nextcloud Talk 9 coming out soon with some improvements.

Even more significantly, the high performance backend has been open sourced:

Jitsi docs got a rework - https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/ and https://docs.easyjitsi.com/docs/welcome. So we will revisit jitsi again after 5.2 release (should be out today/tomorrow).

@girish Great news. I'm guessing that the folks at Jitsi also feel the pressure from a quarantined world.

No idea if it's useful, but just in case it is, I just came across this Ansible role to install & configure Jitsi Meet on the CoTech forum and the person who shared said "Looks solid, has tests"

@girish any updates on the estimates so far?

@potemkin_ai We are looking into packaging jitsi. @BrutalBirdie is helping us out here.

Is there there a video conferencing app in cloudron available currently,which has a client? MiroTalk doesn't have a client and I need an Android client, because on Android the permissions of Mic are revoked on screen lock.

I also tried Jitsi with Rocket.Chat but I don't get it running (policy to be accepted and I don't know where)

@nottheend Have you tried Nextcloud Talk?

Using Nextcloud Talk everyday without issues.

Thanks! I was hesitant to use Nextcloud Talk initially since Cloudron is raising awareness about third party Nextcloud apps.

Checking it, thanks everyone!

Same here. There are occasional connection/hardware issues but nothing mayor or different from using zoom or Teams
