Ratings and reviews

The moderator requirement makes this useless to me. I loved it and am very disappointed. I used 2 3-letter meeting rooms for years without passwords. Only had other people in my room once and they left immediately. Moderation was not a problem that needed solving and there is no longer a killer feature that sets Jitsi apart. I'd like to highlight the burden this puts on older adults. I used this with my parents because it was so accessible to them - not having to deal with accounts.

I really enjoy this app since Hangouts is gone. It's really important to us to be able to have multiple people screen sharing at once. I only have one real issue. Sometimes when I hang up to leave the call, it'll keep repeatedly adding me back to the call. Hanging up doesn't work and closing all apps doesn't work. It's really frustrating because I would like to leave the call as soon as I hit the hang up button.

So far the app is great. Unfortunately it's less feature rich compared to mobile web version. Hopefully with time, features will be added. Edit1: Many features added. Bug : can't drop call when on landscape Edit2: Bug on landscape fixed, the app is getting better and better. Bug : Picture in picture is lost once I start and then stop screen sharing. If it's an android limitation then we'll have to deal with it.
