Comparison of zoom and jitsi request

[Bret Busby]

Hello.

As I understand that zoom has displaced Skype, for video calls and video 
conference calls, I am wondering whether anyone on this list, has used 
and compared jitsi, relative to zoom.

I have just received an email message from an Australian political 
party, that is kind of a liberal party (not to be confused with the 
self-named "Australian Liberal Party", that is not), and, is apparently, 
technologically oriented, the message  announcing an upcoming web 
presentation/meeting, and, the message contains this;

"And with our commitment to ethical use of technology, we are trialling 
the meeting platform Jitsi after Zoom recently announced they “totally 
didn’t plan to record your meetings to train our commercial AI, sorry 
about that one guys.” Making money from stealing your personality. Jitsi 
is what’s known as “FOSS” or Free, Open Source Software. What’s not to 
like?
"

I do not know whether Liam Proven, or any of his colleagues, have 
published a recent review of jitsi, and/or, a comparison of jitsi with 
zoom, on The Register, and, so, as jitsi is supposed to be 
multi-platform ("Operating system - Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, iOS" 
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jitsi (and, elsewhere, it is said to 
also run on BSD) ), I am wondering whether anyone on this list, has 
experience with using jitsi for videoconferencing, and, if so, how you 
regard it, in comparison with zoom.

I note that, at https://jitsi.org/about/ , under the heading "Features", is
"Ubuntu and Debian packages for easy installation."

Thank you in anticipation.
