| For Teams-like chat I really like Zulip. Which also integrates with Jitsi for video conferencing If you are hosting webinars there's also bigbluebutton |

| It's not open source, but up until a few years ago I used whereby.com for videochats. Unlike the alternatives at the time from Google, Apple, etc., it didn't require an account for participants — I could just give them the meeting room URL. So although it wasn't open source, it at least didn't lock you into a network. (Unlike you, I wasn't up for self-hosting.) |

| This one is often overlook but very good, I prefer it over Jitsi https://galene.org/ |

| The French government built their own: https://github.com/suitenumerique/meet |

| ▲ | euio757 7 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | "built their own" wrapper yes (which is a very important piece of a end-to-end Zoom like product) But you can see: > Powered by [LiveKit](https://livekit.io/) Fine since this is an open source product, but not full EU sovereignty of the software stack. Livekit could at any time change their license and drop support for the free open-source version like so many products have done in the past. If a EU entity forks it and maintains it, then that'd be end-to-end sovereignty IMO. | | |
| ▲ | saubeidl 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | That might be true philosophically, but tactically it makes no sense to fork until a potential future license change. Why lose the free maintenance from upstream? |
