The last time I tried to make video chat work with people, we dived between jitsi, facebook messenger, zoom... until something worked well enough. what are people using here now? Jitsi? Google Meet? Whatsapp? Facebook Messenger? Zoom? Skype? Facetime, somehow? The builtin thing in matrix that used to be jitsi but I think they updated it? Microsoft Teams? What?

Jitsi.

No installs required on any participant. No login required (except for host recently). No time limit or user limit (maybe there is but we use it and have never had any problems). Works awesome.

If something costs nothing then you are the product though. Have you looked into their TOS?

Jitsi is FOSS and you can self-host it.

Yes. They're quite reasonable, especially considering you don't even need an account. https://tosdr.org/en/service/2201

It's a Free Software product. They are owned by 8x8 which charges for its video solutions, but Jitsi is absolutely free and Free. https://www.8x8.com/products/plans-and-pricing

you don't even need an account.

That's sadly not true anymore for their own hosted service:

tl;dr: you need to login with a Google, Facebook or Github login to create a room

Wa wa wa FOSS nerds. Don't try and push shit on me if you don't fully understand it.
