It (jitsi) was terrible.  At least for me.  For voice chat, we connected to Ren's Mumble server and that worked pretty well.  I tried YouTube streaming with OBS but that being only one-way wasn't going to work very well.  Then we all connected to talky.io... and after a second attempt, it was working pretty well with a few hiccups.  One problem I was having was that after a while, my browser (and I tried Firefox and Google Chrome) would bog down to a crawl and die. :(

Since the meeting, I learned about a client named Jami (https://jami.net/) that provides Audio/Video calls, Screen Sharing, Conferences, and Messaging... and is free as in freedom.  It has a server that basically registers the IP address of the client so it can facilitate p2p connections between clients.  I wonder how well that would work?  I wonder how that would work with low/med resolutions and intelligent use of muting?  I would like to try it out some in advance of the next meeting.  Since it is very dependent on an end user's bandwidth, it is likely to disappoint... except for David Eder who has fiber. :)  I think there are about a dozen other similar clients.

TYL,
