It’s encrypted, open source, and you don’t need an account to use it (using a browser you just give access to mic and camera).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>BigBlueButton is very similar to Jitsi - it is also simple, browser-based and open source. We tried out Jitsi as well. But BigBlueButton seems to result in a more stable connection for most, and with better video quality. With Jitsi, everyone needs to shut off camera if someone has connectivity issues, with BBB, one can limit data flow client-side. I've also heard of many people having weird issues with Jitsi - like some people only being heard by some of the participants. I've yet to hear of such issues on BBB.</div><div>While BBB allows the admin to require an account, that is an option that can be switched on and off on the fly. Currently, no account is required. The tool will ask for a name, but you can fill in anything you like.</div><div>In general, BBB still has issues when it comes to access management (e.g. all rooms need an account, or no rooms need an account), but it does have richer features than jitsi.<br></div></div></div>
