Jitsi = Unusable (Y/N)?

#1 Post by metreo »

Briefly. I'm curious if anyone finds Jitsi unusable? Yes/No replies are fine, not looking to solve this just had some technical difficulties.

I'm using Jitsi a lot. Sometimes works better, sometimes not so good. But I'm using their servers. I can imagine, sometimes they get overloaded. I bet, if I would build and start using my own server, it would be much better.

Quite usable, as of a couple of months ago; but the lack of moderation functionality unless you set up your own server, would limit its usefulness

Never a problem, but I use the AppImage which includes all the required dependencies...

It sounds like a resounding case of the problem was with whatever I was trying and not the general experience with Jitsi! Good to know!
