I believe this was mostly about stability with 100+ meeting participants. This is second hand information though.

Have you tried selfhosting it? For me, it was unusable, despite a beefy cloud server, even for just 2 people. And thats ignoring setup complexity.

This one is optimized and kubernetes ready, which makes it super easy. Will try out soon.

I was hosting it 5 years ago in a 2gb or 4gb VPS. We were able to run 1440p@120hz, if not higher, streams of our games. The server didn't seem to care much about the load.

That sounds amazing, because I tried it last year and it was like 12 fps with 2 people in a 720p videocall on a much beefier VPS.

As others said, large meetings with many video feeds at the same time.

You know that they could just fork it, right? Saying that "it's american", just causes FUD for opensource.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I didn't say it was a good reason.
