Thanks. I wonder why both jitsi and Matrix. Someone in the thread said it was too bad Matrix’s video conferencing wasn’t good enough that they had to add an extra software component, but I wonder what, exactly, the evaluation found wrong with it.
I have a lot of issues with Matrix, but the video conferencing didn’t seem worse than the horrible key management.
I guess only internals know. It could be the case that jitsi may be used across institutions and with companies and matrix for internal stuff. An external shareholder wouldn’t need to create a matrix account just to talk to you.

That’s a really good point. I have forgotten whether there are anonymous accounts in Matrix for rooms, but even if so it wouldn’t be the same as scheduling a meeting and sending a specific meeting link a-la Zoom.
I’m not 100% sure. The “new” element call does not need an existing matrix account. But the people who decide upon the software aren’t always up to date or maybe element call will change
That’s also a good question. I wouldn’t consider matrix too new or unstable. Also, there are too many huge and important stakeholders in matrix. Matrix won’t go away in the next years.
They’ve chosen Matrix; they’ve just chosen something else for the video calling. Maybe because the anonymous video call link feature is too recent an addition, and is unproven.

Yeah, this is the reason.

Ah. Also, such a large organization probably doesn’t want to bet the farm on a relatively new and unproven feature.
I’m guessing they have some minimum standards for age and stability.

Not Matrix itself, but the new call mechanism.

Got it, thx
