This is great since selfhosted jitsi somehow developed into an IT support nightmare for us. Would be awesome to hear how they are doing the scaling. Our IT only offers jitsi only for max 10 ppl in a room which keeps us from using it at least in 50% of the cases. Also some users are reporting problems, so it would really be great to see a supported desktop app for all relevant platforms for those that struggle to get the browser setup right. Also native performance background effects has become something that at least could support bits of privacy in this crazy home office world ( it is not always e2ee that makes the difference).

We have an Electron based app: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron

> Also native performance background effects

This is in the works, we have to be able to share some news soon!

BigBlueButton is more suitable for larger conferences.

Oddly enough, we also used BigBlueButton for a while and really loved the additional features like the whiteboard but also had to drop it because we were doing more support for BBB than our core product...
