That's good to hear. We use Element at work, so I can tell the boss that Jitsi is good to use now. Unfortunately, Element has started making their own video call stuff because <sarcasm>it's just never enough to have a good FOSS solution, one must make their own to have it perfect!</sarcasm>. Funnily enough, Zoom is pretty awful to use on Linux as a desktop app. The web app works a bit better, so I'm glad Jitsi outshines them in accessibility now. Devin Prater r.d.t.pra...@gmail.com
