While Jitsi is open-source, most people use the platform they provide, meet.jit.si [http://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. If you prefer not to self-host Jitsi and be identifiable via your domain, there’s jami.net [http://jami.net] as a replacement for Jitsi. It is a decentralized conference app that requires you to install an app. However, it’s open-source and account creation is optional. It’s available for all major platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android), including on F-Droid.

    Remember the good old times where OpenID / OAuth were starting to become the norm, and you could log in with StatusNet? Well why can’t Jitsi do the same with my Mastodon account?

        the biggest problem, ironically, was how flexible it was.
        users were forgetting WHICH provider they signed up to a service with, causing a support nightmare and multiple accounts

        then there was the issue that all the big players didn’t accept external auth - so google, etc… require their own accounts.
