Of all the meeting solutions, I’ve come to the conclusion that Google Meet is the least bad.
did you try jitsi?
I didn’t. Thanks for the shoutout, I’ll have a look.
the service normally does not require registration or login, neither any kind of payment, and they don't run ads.
however, their public instance, meet.jit.si, got restricted a year or so ago because apparently bad people were using it for bad reasons. now a single participant is required to log in with a google account or something else they offer.
there were also many public instances. but soon a lot of them closed too, and the public lists have disappeared, so I believe jitsi did not do what they did out of data hunger.
there's still a few that doesn't require any kind of account, if you're interested I can send a link in PM. It's better if you don't publish it either.
oh and if it tells anything. if you have heard about matrix.org, they were using jitsi for calls for a long time. they have switched to an in-house solution to have better platform integration, but it was fine
For me the GOAT is https://around.co
I haven’t used anything but Around (internally) for the last 5 years, and then someone external sends me a google meet invite or a zoom and I cringe.
