I know for sure that I’m looking for libre video chat software that has these features for the other person, not necessarily for me:
- no need to create an account
- mobile-friendly web app
I’m still deciding whether to do video chats on:
- iPhone
- Fedora GNU + Linux (GNOME)
Use case: I’m considering switching from text to video chat as my preferred method for initial conversations with people on dating sites/communities. There’s not always a sacrifice of convenience by avoiding non-libre software for it, because whatever app is already being used typically only integrates messaging, not video chat.
+1 for Jitsi. Works well, user-friendly, lots of features without looking complicated, not too resource-hungry, lots of ways to extend it. All the other person needs it to click a link, enter a name and allow microphone/camera usage one time. There’s also an app for Android and iOS, though you can just as well use a mobile browser.

Jitsi Meet, but be aware that unless you are running it on a desktop in a chromium based browser, or its desktop app then it will not have end-to-end encryption.

Second
I have a small self-hosted Nextcloud with Nextcloud Chat and it can do video though it isn’t great. Jitsi Meet is much better but I haven’t tried to host it myself. I’m sure there are other options too, though idk what to suggest. Maybe see what’s around on Scriptaculous these days?
