Twilio releases open source video conferencing apps for iOS, Android and web
<i>Disclaimer: I used to work at Twilio</i><p>I'm seeing discussion below about fully open-source solutions (Jitsi Meet) vs. fully proprietary solutions (Zoom). What's interesting about using Twilio is that it is a <i>programmable</i> solution.<p>Case in point: I am building a webpage where people can log-in to a virtual office, so that people working from home don't feel so lonely. I have certain requirements, such as:<p><pre><code>    - All audio is muted
    - Participants are arranged in a grid
    - Room is persistent (no need for an "owner")
</code></pre>
Accomplishing this with either Jitsi or Zoom may have been impossible, because while they are <i>configurable</i> they are not <i>programmable</i>.<p>Now, Twilio isn't the only Video platform on the market (see TokBox, etc), but I think comparing this to Jitsi/Zoom/Hangouts is like comparing apples to oranges.
