Unfortunately, Jitsi is a small player and not that well supported, like many open source options. TidBITS mag just did a review and Jitsi was not even mentioned. I recently found a bug that killed a meeting, because it took too long to resolve. Also, Jitsi is limited on the Mac and I couldn’t play a video in the screen-sharing mode. So, when considering ease of use, integrations, support, etc., Zoom is ahead of just about any other option. If you need maximum security, you have to run your own system in house. Any big company does this for board meetings, unless they are fools.

The last half hour of this show gives a rundown on Zoom problems:
