They have already said it will be a paid service for heavier users. Everybody charges for this stuff beyond a few users, it ain't cheap to host. But Gab has finally got the Open Source religion so we can expect a code drop for a working video conference system that is fully browser based on all major platforms since they can't have an app, they are deplatformed everywhere, even on f-droid. Adversity inspires innovation. They have their own fork of Brave for a browser so expect the initial target to be the Chromium family tree. Once server code drops somebody has to figure out how many oddball dependencies it has and get a package upstream into Debian. If every organization could host video conferences internally, and without it being yet another "dangit, gotta dual boot Windoze to talk to people" situation, it would be a game changer.
