While Jitsi is open-source, most people use the platform they provide, meet.jit.si, for immediate conference calls. They have now introduced a “Know Your Customer” policy and require at least one of the attendees to log in with a Facebook, Github (Microsoft), or Google account.
One option to avoid this is to self-host, but then you’ll be identifiable via your domain and have to maintain a server.
As a true alternative to Jitsi, there’s jami.net. It is a decentralized conference app, free open-source, and account creation is optional. It’s available for all major platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android), including on F-Droid.
You can self host it as well. This is just a restriction of the online service - the problem being that most people are not going to self-host their conference calls.
Yeah they’d have to maintain upgrades security patches etc and could get pricey depending on how much storage and bandwidth is involved.
Come on, one more step and you’ll get to the part where you have to deal with preventing other people from using your instance for child porn.
Or you could just restrict it for use by a select few you know.
