July Online Meeting--feedback request

[Terry Bowling]

As a follow up, I am curious to hear what technical issues you experienced
with Jitsi and how well it performed.

I did some more digging and found these detailing limitations and
functionality.  tl;dr is that the Free/Personal plans have Zoom limit at 40
minutes and Meet at 60 minutes.  Neither can record video.

Again, I can host using my employer plans with both Google Meet or
Bluejeans, both use webrtc with support on all platforms/browsers, have
great security, and no limitations on functionality.
