Ratings and reviews

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.

Not impressed. Over 4G mobile data, the sound was alright, but I could only see video for one or two participants at a time. It would randomly switch, and I couldn't tell when it why. (Online I could see three participants, but only those three - it wouldn't switch at all.) Online I could double-tap to fullscreen a participant, but I couldn't do that from the app. The "low bandwidth" option just turned off video altogether - I would much rather be able to reduce the video quality.

I have been the biggest jitsi advocate for the past 3 years and have used it for everything from personal calls to big meetups, to business communication. Now im sorry to say the app is basically unusable. The new moderator requirements mean that I have to login, and jitsi cannot communicate with my (Firefox) browser. Ive tried everything but I might have to throw in the towel, the ease of use has been diluted so much it makes it hard to recommend.
