I'm pretty confident that 90% of the users' use cases can be fulfilled by Jitsi Meet
Never heard of them before but will check them out!
people are still using zoom? i thought Teams took over
Teams is horrible.
My company partnered with Zoom early on in the pandemic, and due to some internal reasons (don't want to dox myself TOO hard) we probably won't drop them. However, I'm wagering Enterprise licenses are exempt from this
Zoom is still massive
I use zoom with my vocal coach. It’s audio for singing and music is second to none sadly.
The relevant section is 10.4 and I've added emphasis below

Lol anyone who is still using Zoom after the insane privacy and security issues doesn't care about AI training.
Zoom is also out to gain market share replacing company PBX systems with Zoom Phone VOIP being priced cheaper (for now)
