Reviews (Snippets from G2)
Pros
- The user interface is very smooth. I like that you are able to share youtube videos so smoothly.
- If you are looking for a light, easy-to-use video conferencing tool, Jitsi is a must-have. Simply choose a "room" name and share it with your participants. Everyone can easily access the shared space and start the conversation.
- The best thing about jitsi is its screen-sharing feature and also that you can create my conference room of any proper name and invite people to it.
- Easy to use, excellent for small groups.
Cons
- It'll need to add file sending support in chat (images, files) as well as maybe more fine control over audio & video (for example: bitrate switching, stereo and multi-channel audio mode, etc).
- Hope the background blurring feature gets better with time.
- Sometimes it gets hanged on mobile app, need to restart the application
- Stability and bandwidth issues, even on a self-hosted server, seem to cause some problems with heavy usage, unfortunately.
- Maybe there is a slight delay in some audio opportunities when conducting meetings and video conferences, they should improve this to give the best performance to the user.
