Open source under LGPL-3.0 and built for virtual classrooms, with a self-hosted server. It needs an IT team to run it, and it fits business meetings less well than Zoom or Jitsi Meet. Free and open source under Apache-2.0, with browser and phone apps and the option to run it on your own server. The hosted service caps meeting length, and it has fewer enterprise features than Zoom.
