Whenever I try to use Jitsi for groups over 2-3 persons, there are almost inevitably technical issues that cause the meeting to bomb and some people don't seem to be able to get their cameras to work with it at all (while they can make it work with zoom). Jitsi also doesn't have features that the groups I'm with need in order to conduct large-scale performances (hundreds of participants) with live streaming. So, we use Zoom. I wish I knew of a free, open-source alternative that actually functions at scale. I'm all ears.

In solidarity,

don't we just ask you directly what you all use for video conferencing?

We are all struggling here trying to find the best solution, a holy grail
of sorts, perhaps one of you has already found it?
I use the Jitsi Meet instance hosted at https://meet.jit.si/ for pretty much 
everything.

If there is a meeting with an especially large number of people, then I use 
BigBlueButton.

Both options are fully free-as-in-freedom, and tend to work as well or better 
than their proprietary competitors.
